Spice versus Saint in pop quiz

BBC2's Never Mind The Buzzcocks: Pits Spice against Saint

Sporty Spice Mel C faces chart rival Natalie Appleton of All Saints in a head-to-head battle in the Christmas special of BBC Two's comedy quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

A spokeswoman for the show, to be screened next month, said: "Everybody was making jokes about them fighting but they got on fine."

Sporty teamed up with programme regular Phill Jupitus, while Natalie was on the side of comedian Sean Hughes in the show hosted by Mark Lamarr.

The spokeswoman said: "Sporty was fantastic. She seemed to know a lot about pop and her singing in the intros' round was great."

But she would not reveal which team eventually won the quiz which was recorded three weeks ago.

All Saints and the Spice Girls were reported to be at loggerheads earlier this year, but members appear to have mellowed recently, appearing together on several occasions.

At the recent Mobo Awards at London's Royal Albert Hall, Mel Blatt and Shaznay Lewis shared a stage with Spice Girl Mel B.

Shaznay and Mel B also met up for Channel 4's late night music discussion programme The Jo Whiley Show.
