Spice Girl Mel B has told how she had a 'meltdown' after 'going' blind ahead of the band's first show in Dublin amid their much awaited comeback shows.

The singer, 43, was left panicked after being rushed to hospital on Friday, just days before the reunion tour was due to kick off.

Speaking ahead of the first performance, Mel revealed that she went into 'complete panic' amid fears she'd miss the show.

The star told The Sun: 'I was thinking, ‘Oh my god, I’m going to go blind. What about the tour? What the hell am I going to do?’ I was having a meltdown.'

She then recalled the moment her eye went 'blurry' ahead of rehearsals for the show,  but she kept 'blinking' because she though it would just 'go away' as it initially 'didn't hurt'.

She continued: 'Then pretty quickly it got worse and worse and then suddenly I just completely lost vision in that eye and my left also started to get blurry.

'I went into a complete panic because I thought I was going to go blind. I was on my way to rehearsals and as soon as I got to Bedfordshire, where we were rehearsing, I saw our paramedic who told me he could see there was a problem.

The singer arrived at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital and told medical staff that she was 'totally blind' and 'couldn't see anything' after losing vision in her right eye.

Mel is already unable to see out of her left eye due to botched laser surgery, which took place 20 years ago.

She also told how she had 'scarring' on that eye due to 'lots of conjunctivitis issues' as a child. 

Mel recalled how the paramedic initially believed her problem to be a condition called 'iritis', which is inflammation around the pupil, with the star getting her assistant and sister Danielle to 'Google' it.

After being diagnosed with the condition by an eye doctor, she was then transferred '35 miles' to have a second opinion at Luton and Dunstable ­Hospital.
