    “America’s Got Talent” is ready to spice things up once more.

    British singer-songwriter and Spice Girls alum Mel B is returning to the “AGT” judges panel for the reality competition’s 20th season, according to a Monday press release. Mel B will join “AGT” veterans Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara alongside host Terry Crews.

    Mel B’s return coincides with longtime judge Heidi Klum’s hiatus from the series. The reason for Klum’s departure was not disclosed.

    Klum, who joined the “AGT” clan in 2013, judged on Seasons 8-13. After a hiatus for Season 14, the German model returned to the NBC show for a four-year stint for Seasons 15-19.

    Mel B was also brought on for “AGT’s” eighth season, following the departure of Sharon Osbourne. The singer exited the series alongside Klum after Season 13.

    Mel B also appeared on the “AGT” spinoffs “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” and “AGT: Fantasy League” in 2019 and 2024, respectively.

    Since its 2006 premiere, “AGT” has aired in 194 territories worldwide and amassed more than a billion viewers. The “Got Talent” franchise holds the Guinness World Records title as the most successful reality television format, with more than 70 local versions produced across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

    “Over the years, we have seen some amazing acts and met some truly incredible people,” Cowell said in a statement. “It’s true that two or three minutes can change your life. I want to thank every contestant, all the fans who have supported the show every year and to NBC for believing in this show.”
