Mel B was a controversial character during Adele’s An Audience With special. According to reports, she made a sexy joke which was removed from the broadcast.
The Spice Girls star, 46, was one of several celebrities in attendance at the event and was said to have made an off-colour joke when she stepped up to the microphone to ask Adele a question, following on from a host of other stars grilling the singer.
On the shocking moment that failed to make it to air, a source told The Sun: ‘She was tasked with asking a question about the best gift Adele had ever received but when the cameras were on her she said she felt silly asking it…
Then, Adele made a joke about it and replied that she could answer for Adele. She also said that the vibrator was her answer. Adele laughed, but no one was really laughing. She then moved on.

Question: At the event, the 46-year old Spice Girls star was just one of many stars present. It was reported that she made a fart joke by asking Adele a question at the microphone.
Samuel stood up to ask the Adele superstar singer whether she ever used her “Adelity” – Adele’s celebrity status – to escape a ticket or any other precarious situation.
Samuel L. Jackson once, one time at the 401. The day I moved to LA for the first time – and it was not meant to take as much as it does – I moved there.
“I had never driven there before, so I drove in the slow lane in the left lane. But, it was not that fast. The traffic was heavy and I was driving in a rental car. My windows were tinted slightly too dark.
According to a source, “She laughed and answered the question for Adele by saying she could and that it was a vibrator.” Adele laughed it off, but no one was really laughing. She then moved on.
‘Anyway, I was minding my own business and then suddenly a police car pulls up behind me and is basically hinting that I need to pull over so I just stopped where I was — I’d never been pulled over in my life.’
