Spice Girl Melanie Brown – or Mel B, as we know her – was “traumatised” by “white penises” on the set of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, according to co-star Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Page Six reported that Pinsky was initially star struck by Scary Spice, admitting, “I was a little nervous around Mel.”
Her reaction to the cast members’… members… though, made him relax.
“The first day when we were in the car on our way to a challenge with her, we had to go take a pee and then she started complaining about how she was traumatised by all these white penises,” he laughed. “And that was the end of my nervousness around Mel!”
Pinksky and Brown are two of the 16 celebrities appearing on the new Fox reality show, where they will “take on demanding training led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces operatives”.
Some of the other “white penises” Brown could have been referring to include TV chef Tyler Florence, retired NFL player Danny Amendola, Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy and fired White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
Other celebrities on the show include Jamie Lynn Spears, 7th Heaven‘s Beverly Mitchell, musician Montell Jordan, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore and TV personality Kate Gosselin.

The cast travelled to Jordan to film the show under harsh conditions like extreme heat and questionable bathroom facilities.
“I think Fox was scared that by day one, everyone would just bail out,” Pinsky told Page Six. “Because it’s that intense, but it forces you to grow — and I think every one of us grew and are grateful for that part of the show. I know I feel like a different person after it and I’m so glad I did it.”
If a second season gets picked up by the network, Pinsky – who is the long-time host of the Teen Mom reunions – has some recommendations for producers.
“Maci [Bookout] did Naked and Afraid, so she’d probably be OK with this,” he said. “And I think Leah [Messer], lately she has been on fire, and she might be up for it. These girls are tough.”
