Mel B, the Spice Girls icon, has joined the cast of Netflix's new celebrity edition of the Squid Game reality series, titled 'The VIP Challenge'. The show will feature eight celebrities competing in a 'deeply unpredictable and diabolical' competition.
Other VIPs include real estate mogul Ryan Serhant, former NBA player Tristan Thompson, content creator Kristy Sarah, Kim Zolciak from Real Housewives of Atlanta, Bachelor Nation's Hannah Godwin, Dylan Efron, and Viper, winner of the second season of the Squid Game Reality Experience.
Fans have reacted strongly to Mel B's involvement, with many expressing excitement on social media. Robert said he 'cannot wait to see' her, while JD noted they would only tune in 'to watch Mel B tbh'. However, some viewers criticised the show, with one fan commenting that 'the entire concept went over everyone's heads'.
Based on the Korean drama where 456 players risk their lives in children's games for a cash prize, the VIP Challenge will see players face elimination until only one remains. Mel B's participation follows her marriage to Rory McPhee in Marrakesh last year.
