She's always been an outspoken reality TV star.
But Luisa Zissman may have taken that a step too far, this week - after comparing Melanie B to "Micheal Jackson" because of her skin tone.
The 30-year-old took to Instagram on Saturday where she openly criticised the singer's appearance in a recent Spice Girls group shot.
Specifically, she suggested the newly-single star looks suspiciously lighter than her pop debut in the 1990s.

"Omg! literally did NOT realise this was Mel B at first," Luisa said. "WHAT HAPPENED TO HER FACE?! She looks like a totally different person!!"
Adding further analysis, she then posted a video to Instagram, which said: "Did you all look at the picture? She looks Michael Jackson-esque.
"I'm trying to think how to be politically correct, but f*** being PC.
"This is what happens when you have too much money and too many insecurities. You look like that".

Naturally, plenty of people were quick to get offended on Mel's behalf, deriding the observations as borderline racist.
One said: "You are supposed to be an intelligent woman yet you couldn't figure out immediately who the beautiful lady was sitting with the other 4 spice girls?
"Get real. You just wanted to spark controversy yet again."
Another said: "Don’t think it’s for you to comment on".

However, Luisa was having no nonsense. She quickly responded and clarified her position.
"In response to some comments - I haven't said she looks better or worse, just that facially she looks VERY different," she said on Instagram. "I mean how can you change your face & expect no remarks?
"So all those saying I'm bringing her down I'm not at all simple making an observation..."
