Melanie Chisholm, formerly known as Sporty Spice, reveals a painful memory in her upcoming memoir.
She also detailed the experience on a new episode of Elizabeth Day’s podcast How To Fail.
When the Spice Girls were first coming together in 1997, their first-ever live performances took place in Istanbul.

While staying at a local hotel, Chisholm experienced something that she didn’t make sense of for years.
I didn’t want to make a fuss but also I didn’t have time to deal with it.
Then, of course, I had to think, ‘Well, do I want to reveal this?’
But I felt violated.
I felt very vulnerable.
I felt embarrassed."
