Mel B has refuted claims that she ended up in hospital due to a drink and drugs binge by producing a clean drug test.
The Spice Girls star ended up in hospital on Sunday after suffering with a severed right hand and broken ribs, where she was visited and supported by her Spice Girls bandmates.
In a drug test obtained by The Sun, the singer set the record straight that the fall had nothing to do with booze or drugs.

The test shows a ‘not detected’ result for several types of drugs including cocaine, methadone, opiates and amphetamines.
It also shows a ‘not detected’ result for alcohol.
A source told the publication that Mel would not accept any negative remarks toward her reputation by her ex, Stephen Belafonte.
They said: ‘This was her 15th drug and alcohol test and she has cleared them all.

‘She’s not going to accept any sort of slur on her reputation because Stephen wants to try and make her look bad. The results are there to see in black and white.’
They added that the fall was simply due to the pop star losing her footing and slipping, cutting her hand on a glass picture frame in the process.
Mel’s mother Andrea Brown recently said the Spice Girls star was involved in a ‘freak accident’ which led to her suffering the sustained injuries.
The 61-year-old matriarch, who became estranged from Mel while she was married to ex Stephen, insisted that the America’s Got Talent judge will be OK following the mystery accident.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the property manager, who is based in Leeds, said the mystery mishap has ‘set Mel back’ but she is hoping to be out of hospital and home for Christmas.

She said: ‘She had a freak accident. It’s not for me to say how it happened, she’ll tell her fans on Instagram if she wants, but it’s set her back.
‘She’s still in hospital, she’s just had an op and she can’t fly back to America yet. But she’ll be OK and will hopefully be up and about soon and hopefully home for Christmas. She’s a fighter.’
And while Andrea discussed her daughter’s health, her close friend Gary Madatyan is said to have told TMZ that the singer sustained the injuries after falling down the stairs at the house of a friend she was staying with.
According to the website, Gary revealed that when the mother-of-three attempted to make her way downstairs after waking up in an upstairs bedroom, she struggled to navigate the narrow staircase and subsequently lost her footing.

New release: Mel has hit headlines recently with her new release Brutally Honest, that sees the star give a candid account of the abuse she endured from her previous relationship
Mel has hit headlines recently with her new release Brutally Honest, that sees the star give a candid account of the abuse she endured from her previous relationship.
Mel was married to ex-husband Belafonte for 10-years, with the star claiming their relationship triggered her post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan about her autobiography, Mel claimed she is ‘always going to stay damaged’ following the breakdown of her second marriage.
Mel said: ‘It’s almost like a part of me is always going to stay damaged and this is how I can heal it, by talking about it and forgiving myself and remembering that it wasn’t my fault.’
Mel, who is a patron of Women’s Aid, said that she found working a ‘safe haven’ from the reality she faced at home everyday and became accustomed to putting up a front.

She added: ‘I became very good at living a lie. It was one thing at work, but a totally different story at home. My work was my saviour.
‘When I was working… he was never around me, so that was like a safe haven for me. You end up putting on a brave face and hoping that nobody finds out [what’s going on at home], because it’s just too much.
Adding: ‘If you have to admit it to anybody else, that means you have to admit what’s going on to yourself, which is another horrendous, traumatic thing to do as an abused person.’
Mel’s new autobiography, Brutally Honest, talks about abuse and her suicide attempt, and previously said she has no regrets about anything in the book, including her revelations about her ex – who she divorced in 2017.
Late last month, Mel told her fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton that she wrote her book because she doesn’t want her three daughters to end up in similar situations to her.

Mel is mother to Phoenix, 19, from her marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar, Angel, 11, from her romance with Eddie Murphy. And Madison, six, is from her marriage to Belafonte.
Emma said: ‘It’s amazing. I cried through the whole thing by the way. And then Mummy Bunton read a bit yesterday and cried, I was like “Oh my goodness” – it’s just heart breaking.’
Mel, meanwhile, added: ‘If you are in a relationship where you are being humiliated or made to feel less than you are, it is a crime.
‘I became really good at lying and saying my marriage was amazing when it’s wasn’t.’
Belafonte, meanwhile, has threatened to sue Mel over her autobiography, as he claims it includes ‘horrific lies’ – denying any accusations of emotional and physical abuse.
Past: Mel was married to ex-husband Stephen Belafonte for 10 years – they divorced in 2017
