Trailblazers stars Mel B and Ruby Wax reunited for a girls night in on Wednesday after the show was reportedly axed over claims of a 'tense row' between the Spice Girl and star Emily Atack.

Ruby, who is a comedian and mental health advocate, 71, took to her Instagram to share several snaps of herself and Mel, 49, enjoying a girl's night in. 

In one snap, the pair posed for a pouty selfie as they larked about in the kitchen together, clearly having formed a close bond while filming the show. 

While another hilarious snap showed Ruby tightly clinging onto Mel as they posed for the camera. 

She playfully captioned the snaps: 'I think it’s serious ❤️' 

Mel looked cosy as she sported a pair of rose print pyjamas and fluffy socks while Ruby cut a casual figure in a striped T-shirt and jeans. 

It comes after the BBC adventure show was reportedly axed after one season due to hosts Mel and Emily, 34, clashes during filming. 

The 2022 series, which was also presented by Ruby, followed the trio as they retraced the steps of Victorian explorer Isabella Bird through the Rocky Mountains. 

The Mirror reported that Mel and Emily had a 'frosty' relationship which led to a 'tense' argument during filming in the US.

A source told the publication: 'Once on set, their personalities definitely clashed and there was one row that was witnessed by several crew members. There was no way back from that at the time.'

Branding filming incredibly difficult as the trio undertook tough physical challenges on the 800-mile trek. 

While a second claimed the BBC had hoped to recreate the onscreen chemistry of ITV's Gordon Ramsay, Gino D'Acampo and Fred Sirieix. 

Saying: 'Because Mel and Emily really did not get on, it was tough drumming up that natural chemistry. There were high hopes for the show but it won't be coming back.' 

However, the pair seemed to have put their difficulties behind them, with the first source adding: 'It was a bit of a pressure cooker environment but Mel and Emily have seen each other since and things were fine between them.' 

A BBC spokesperson said: 'Trailblazers has not been "axed". It was commissioned as a one-off series following in the footsteps of Victorian explorer Isabella Bird across the Rocky Mountains.'

MailOnline has also approached Emily and Mel's reps for comment.   

During filming Emily, Mel and Ruby attended a western bar in Aspen, recreating a scene from Coyote Ugly.

The Inbetweeners star and Ruby both donned cowboy hats and sunglasses as they gyrated among smoke machines in front of local pub-goers.

But Mel documented the whole thing to her 1.5million followers, admitting that her co-stars were 'embarrassing her on a school night' via her Instagram Story.
