BRAVE Mel B tonight said her MBE is dedicated to all women affected by domestic abuse.
Scary Spice, 46, also told Piers Morgan, 57, how her chat with Prince William went deep as he presented her with the award.
The Women’s Aid patron has ferociously campaigned to help women suffering domestic violence after escaping her own abusive marriage.
She told Piers on his TalkTV show: “It’s really surreal to be honest. I don’t take it personally to do with me.
“It’s for all the women who have been through similar things to what I’ve been through.
“It’s more about raising awareness but to get an MBE for it is just kind of crazy.”

She was made an MBE in the 2022 New Year Honours list for services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.
And she jokingly asked why the Spice Girls did not get an MBE, adding: “To do this for all the women is overwhelming.”
And she told Piers it was really nice to see Prince William, who gave her the award last week.
The former pop star, who confessed she was a “massive royalist”, lifted the lid on how the conversation went deep.
She said: “Half the conversation I will never tell anyone. That’s between me and him.
“He was talking about how I’m a Spice Girl getting an MBE about domestic violence.
“He was asking how long I was in the abusive relationship for. It really went quite deep.
“He was so sweet and so polite and respectful.”
Mel B also told how mum Andrea Brown, who she attended the ceremony with, went “bright red” when she pointed her out to the Duke of Cambridge.
She wore a red dress designed by Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham and curtsied to the Duke of Cambridge as she received her gong.
It came after she bravely opened up to The Celeb Report last year about her own abuse ordeal.
She said: “I went through a horrendous abusive marriage which nearly killed me.
“I got out of it and ever since I’ve tried to help other women — and men — who have been through or are going through abuse in whatever shape or form.
“And there was this letter saying the Prime Minister had spoken to the Queen about giving me an MBE.
