Mel B and James Arthur reportedly had a ‘wild fling’ after meeting on America’s Got Talent although they kept it on the down-low.
The pair are said to have hit it off during their work on the show in 2017, when Mel, 44, was a judge, and James, 31, performed.
‘James was single at the time and they hit it off instantly. Mel thought James was very handsome and would become the next big British music superstar,’ a source said.
They added to The Sun: ‘James couldn’t believe his luck that a stunning member of the Spice Girls would be interested in him. They had a wild fling and loved spending time together, but it ended respectfully.’
The pair are said to have kept their romantic involvement quiet by not saying anything to each other on social media.

At the time of the ‘fling’, Mel had separated from her husband Stephen Belafonte, while James was single.
The X Factor winner previously opened up about his romance with Rita Ora, admitting he was left ‘heartbroken’, and has since denied claims of a romance with Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson after they were spotted getting close at a party.
‘We were not kissing we were talking closely because it was loud as f*** in the club, have you ever tried having a conversation when there’s loud music, you gotta be tactile,’ he tweeted after speculation about the pair started to spread.
Meanwhile, the Spice Girls star recently opened up on her ‘abusive’ marriage to Stephen.
Speaking about her 10-year marriage on The Jonathan Ross Show, Mel said it was ‘very much so [an abusive relationship]’ and that she feels ‘very lucky [now]’ that it’s behind her.
‘You’ve always been very nice to me,’ she said to Jonathan. ‘I think you said to me, “Tell him to f*** off.”‘
The 44-year-old singer, who married Belafonte in 2007 and shares an 8-year-old daughter Madison with him, initially filed a domestic violence restraining order against him before later withdrawing it.
