Spice Girls star Mel B reportedly charged £10,000 to attend a Christmas fundraiser in aid of terminally ill children. According to reports, the former Dancing With The Stars contestant refused to waive her huge appearance fee for helping kid's charity the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Mel - who's currently touring the UK with the Spice Girls, of which she is set to pocket around $20 million from, turned up to the fundraiser at Selfridges in London this week.
A store insider told the News Of The World: "All Mel B did was sing a couple of Christmas songs, sign autographs and mingle with the crowd collecting donations in a plastic bucket.
"And for that she pocketed £10,000 that should have gone to needy kids.
"Many people felt she should have waived her fee. It's the least she could have done to help raise cash for the kids."
Mother of two Mel arrived at the posh Oxford street department store with her new husband Stephen Belafonte - where she sang Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and Jingle Bells in the carol singalong, she then wandered round the store with a donations bucket with Martine McCutcheon and model Jasmine Guinness.
The fundraiser will help make dreams come true for terminally ill children.
The insider added: "Everyone was thrilled when Mel B agreed to appear.
"With the Spice Girls in town for their tour it was a real coup to get her. It's shameful shoppers gave up their hard-earned cash yet here was a Spice Girl giving nothing."
