According to tomorrow's mirror Mel B missed the dress rehearsals today and is highly likely to miss the final. No idea why yet.

If she did miss it, I wonder who would take her place?

    Tweet from James Ingham, the showbiz columnist:
    So insiders say Mel B is about 80% certain not to appear on tomorrow's show. Producers are currently looking for a replacement stand-in.

    Not keen on Mel but I wish her all the best for a full recovery, though I'm secretly pleased I won't have to endure her in the final.

    Not Mel's fault I know but its slightly unfair on Andrea not having a mentor.

    Well there has been nothing on the radio about it, so i doubt if she is seriously ill. maybe a bug she has picked up.

    How about prefacing that with I think? Rather than stating it as a matter of fact? As I said just now it's highly likely she'll be there tomorrow. This sounds like the usual Syco rubbish.

    I'd find it quite ironic if she did miss the final because of illness because she's had a vendetta against any contestant with an illness for the entire series.

    Especially in week 2 with Ben. In all seriousness though I hope she gets better soon

    She could be seriously ill where as a sore throat you just got to deal with it

    I'm realising this is probably more than what I at first thought was another tabloid non-story, hope she gets well and I really hope she can make it for Andrea's sake. I'm sure she wouldn't want to miss his big moment.
