'I was like Mel B's wife': X Factor judge denies lesbian relationship with Christa Parker

A woman has come forward claiming that Mel B was actually much older than a teen when they had a steamy affair.

X Factor judge Mel B recently revealed she had a four-year relationship with a woman as a teenager.

However a second woman has now come forward and said their relationship was more recent, claiming she was like the star's 'wife'.

Christa Parker says she met the star at the school gates in Hollywood 10 years ago and that the pair became friends before going on to indulge in passionate trysts at the former Spice Girl's mansion.

The mother of two told the Sun newspaper: "One night, while we were talking out on the deck [of Mel's Hollywood mansion], one thing led to another and it happened. I got into Mel's bed and she followed me in there. She told me, 'I'm horny shall we make love?' I said, 'OK'".

The 42-year-old business manager continued: "Everything was intense between us. There is no doubt that I fell in love with Melanie and she fell in love with me."

However, Mel B denies these claims, insisting she was a teenager when she had a four-year relationship with a woman.

"At 17 you want to experiment. I don't think you should put a name on it. Well actually, I don't care if people put a name on it. I didn't. I had fun!" she said.

"I had a great four-year relationship with a lovely lady who I still talk to this day, and that's that. I mean, if it happened yesterday I would probably be saying something different. But I've been happily married to my husband for seven years."

The 39-year-old mother-of-three explained:

"Do I want to spoon with a woman, and snuggle? No. I want to do that with my husband. At 17 I wanted to spoon and snuggle and do everything with a woman... But not right now."

The X Factor judge's rep told MailOnline: "Mel has never been in a relationship with Christa. Any suggestion that she has is fabrication."
