Mel B has revealed that Americans cannot understand her accent.
The former Spice Girl admitted that she is often met with a blank expression after speaking in her strong Leeds accent.
"They don't get it. They go, 'What?' Thankfully, I'm often with an American friend of mine who kind of translates for me!" Music News quote her as saying.
"Unless I have to change it for an acting role, I'm not going to dampen it. I don't see why I should. It's me. They ask where Leeds is and I say it's four hours north of London."
The singer revealed that struggling to make herself understood does not put her off living in the US.
"The sunshine is a big factor for me for living in Los Angeles," she said. "But of course I miss the UK. I'm a Leeds girl. Luckily, in the last year, I've been over to the UK at least seven or eight times so I still hang out with my friends a lot.
"But my pals like me living in America because it's a good excuse for them to pack their bags and head over!"
