Mel B was annoyed to discover a paparazzi had made a "c**p load of money" from taking a picture of her in a bikini.
The former Spice Girl was pictured looking "ripped" a few years ago around a Las Vegas pool while on holiday. The images are still used, and she has joked she wishes she had taken them herself because they have become so widely recognised.
"No, I mean they're all proper paparazzi shots," Mel told the Kyle and Jackie O Radio show when asked if she knew they were being taken. "I mean you kind of figure in Vegas, someone's going to take a picture, and I actually met the guy that sold that picture. He got a c**p load of money for that.

"I was like, 'Damn, I wish I'd have done it myself.' He got like $15,000."
Mel was named the latest spokesperson for the Australia and New Zealand branch of weight loss program Jenny Craig towards the end of last year.
She has already succeeded in reaching her goal weight after losing 15kg in just six months after giving birth to her daughter Madison.
The TV personality has discussed the struggles of shedding the excess weight in the glare of the public eye.
"You know what, it's not easy losing weight, and especially when you're doing it in front of everyone. It's a bit embarrassing, but I kind of had to do it. I was fat!" she laughed.
Mel has posed on the cover of Australian tabloid magazine Woman's Day to show off the results of her exercise and diet regime. She is thrilled with the results.
"The six-pack is back! I'm the same girl from 15 years ago ... losing weight has made me the best mum possible. My energy's up!" she exclaimed in the publication. Effects of Obesity
The star also revealed she can fit into her 13-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi's jeans.
"Well, the jeans were mine in the first place," she said. "She stole them off me when I was pregnant, but now I fit back into them. So I'm taking them back, one by one."
