Furious Mel B blasted Louis Walsh backstage at the X Factor on Sunday – blaming him for getting her act axed.
The Spice Girl was fuming the Mayo man “wimped out” of making a proper decision about who to send home, sending it to deadlock.
It meant that Mel lost Paul Akister, 25, while Simon Cowell’s act Jay James, 31, survived to sing again.
However backstage the 39-year-old had a huge row with Louis – accusing him of failing to do his job properly.
She said: “I’m so angry at Louis. If you base it off the singoff, then you have the chance to stand somebody who did really well.
“I said to him: ‘I am so angry at you. Come on, don’t wimp out.’ “We have some impact on who we think deserves to still be here.

“Louis told me to shut up and I won’t tell you what I said to him after that.”
Yesterday Paul – who missed out on going on the X Factor live tour – said he felt Louis shirked his judge responsibilities.
He added: “If I was on the panel I’d say who sang best. He backed out, I reckon.”
