Despite practically being a veteran in the world of showbusiness it seems that Mel B is not always one hundred percent on the ball. Suffering a major slip up on Thursday afternoon, 39-year-old became victim to a make-up malfunction when she failed to blend the white powder underneath her eyes. Arriving at the BBC studios alongside her X Factor contestants, Mel appeared to be flawless but that was not the case on closer inspection.

The Spice Girls star completed her look with a pair of black leather knee high boots beautified with brown wooden heels. Mel was joined by singers Jake Quickenden, Paul Akister, Andrea Faustini and Jack Walton for their catch up with radio host Greg James. Before heading inside the studio Mel handed out hugs t her fans and was seen signing autographs.

Ahead of their appearance at the BBC, Mel looked like she had stepped straight out of her bed when she arrived at London's Fountain studios wearing a onesie and glittering black Ugg boots. The lilac number had a zebra print running throughout and she carried a hot drink in a flask with her.

Despite her low-key look, the former Spice Girl had a perfectly made-up face and her new bobbed 'do looked sleek, without a single hair out of place. She took to Instagram to let her followers know how much she was looking forward to the day, the mother-of-three posted a selfie as she sat in her car.

Meanwhile, one contestant who might have his work cut out this week is heart throb Ben Haenow, 29, who has been ordered to rest his vocals. The Croydon van driver, who last week impressed the audience with his soulful version of classic song, Bridge Over Troubled Water may have been practising a little too hard. As he headed to the studios with the other contestants, he was wearing a sticker on his grey sweatshirt which said, 'Voice rest,' which let everyone know he has to say as little as possible. TV mogul, Simon Cowell, 54, recently tipped the handsome lad to win the ITV talent show.

The head judge is so confident the hopeful, who is in his Over-25s category, is going to win the talent show this year he is encouraging fans of the series to place a £50 bet on him to triumph. He said: 'I've already got a winner and he's one of mine. But it's not who everyone is predicting. I'm guessing that Ben Haenow is going to surprise people - and I suggest you put £50 on him to win. 'But there are a handful of people who could take it. It's down to how they develop throughout the live shows and that makes far more of an eventful series for me.'
