Mel, who was hosting the show alongside US comedian Bill Bellamy, told how Diddy, 55, and his huge entourage refused to get off stage to allow Mel to practice, with the feisty singer going on to confront him. However, Diddy, who himself was performing at the event under his then stage name Puff Daddy dismissed her complaints, before he cruelly remarked: 'Get this b***h off the stage'.

The Wannabe hitmaker wrote in her book: 'People think I am so tough, and to some degree I am. I can stand my ground against the likes of Sean ‘P. Diddy’ ‘Puffy’ Combes, who - back in 1998, when I’d been asked to host the MOBO Awards in London - wouldn’t get off the stage to let me start my rehearsals for the show. I had to perform as well as host show.

'He’d turned up with a massive entourage and then run into my rehearsal time with the clock ticking less than an hour before the doors were due to open. I was watching, fuming, as he said he wanted another run-through. I marched out towards him. "No, I need to rehearse my song NOW," I said.
