Melanie C was sexually assaulted by a male masseur the night before the Spice Girls’ first concert. Sporty Spice, 48, booked a massage at her hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, on the evening before the show in October 1997 when the attack occurred – leaving her feeling “violated” and “embarrassed”. Mum-of-one Mel recounted the incident for the first time on the ‘How To Fail’ podcast on Wednesday.
