Mel B struggling with “emotionally draining” X Factor role

It must be hard sitting on the judging panel of the X Factor every week with all the fighting between the judges.

But it seems Mel B is struggling with her mentoring role after another of her acts left on Saturday.

Jack Walton left the show this weekend after getting the least amount of votes from the public and the former Spice Girl was left in tears having lost Jake Quickenden the week before.

And the artist formerly known as Scary Spice admits she didn’t expect to become so invested in the job and feels emotionally drained.

Speaking on Xtra Factor, she said: “As judges, it’s terrifying. We put our hearts and souls into this. “I didn’t think it was going to be this emotionally draining. Ask my husband – I’m knackered when I get home. I just want to go to sleep and cry!”

Well, she doesn’t need to flood her bedroom with tears yet as she still has two acts – Paul Akister and Andrea Faustini – left in the competition with Andrea being a hot favourite to win the series.

Chin up, Scary!
