Micah Richards says Mel B used to babysit him
Richards stunned his co-hosts by revealing that Spice Girl Mel B used to babysit him many years ago.
“Mel B, she used to babysit me when I was younger. Get her on the pod! My sister [still] does her hair now,” he said.
The story came out of nowhere during a light-hearted discussion, leaving Lineker and Shearer momentarily speechless.
Richards explained that the connection dates back to his childhood in Leeds and that the two have stayed in touch over the years.
“This is way back, back in Leeds days. I spoke to her just a couple of months ago,” he added.
“It’s not known. You’ve always got to save something for the pod, haven’t you?”
Richards admitted he doesn’t remember much from that time but confirmed that there were “pictures back in the day.”
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer’s stunned reactions
Alan Shearer’s reaction summed up the moment perfectly as he interrupted to say, “Can I just ask… what the f— am I on here?”
Gary Lineker, equally confused, called the story “unbelievable” as both hosts burst into laughter.
The exchange quickly went viral across social media, with listeners loving the humour that has become a trademark of the podcast.
The revelation added another memorable moment to The Rest Is Football and another reason why Richards remains one of the most entertaining voices in the game.
