BBC adventure show Trailblazers has reportedly been axed after one season due to presenters Mel B and Emily Atack clashing during filming.

The 2002 series, which was also hosted by Ruby Wax, followed the trio as they retraced the steps of Victorian explorer Isabella Bird through the Rocky Mountains.

Mirror reports that Mel, 43, and Emily, 34, had a “cold” relationship that led to a “tense” argument during filming in the United States.

A source told the publication: ‘Once on set, their personalities definitely clashed and there was a fight which was witnessed by several members of the crew. At that moment there was no turning back.

Filming the brand was incredibly difficult as the trio took on tough physical challenges on the 800-mile trek.

While a second claimed the BBC was hoping to recreate the on-screen chemistry of Gordon Ramsay, Gino D’Acampo and ITV’s Fred Sirieix.

He said: ‘Because Mel and Emily didn’t really get on, it was difficult to get that natural chemistry. “There were high hopes for the show, but it won’t be coming back.”

However, the couple 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 good between them.”

MailOnline has contacted BBC representatives Emily Atack and Mel B 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 donned cowboy hats and sunglasses as they twirled between smoke machines in front of local pub-goers.

But a sober Mel B documented the whole thing for her 1.5 million followers, admitting that her co-stars were “embarrassing her on a school night” via her Instagram Story.

While promoting the series, the trio’s interview on The One Show descended into chaos.

During a section of the horse-riding chat, Mel and Ruby, who recently did Celebrity Gogglebox together, ended up rolling around on the sofa and talking to each other, before Mel even jokingly walked off the set.

Presenter Alex Jones looked on bemused as the group talked amongst themselves while laughing and joking, while co-host Ronan Keating couldn’t help but laugh.

And after the women left the studio, Alex couldn’t resist joking, “Oh, it feels so much calmer in the studio now!”

Mel also jokingly walked off the set at one point after being interrupted.

Just before, Ruby could be heard telling presenters Alex and Ronan Kemp: “We were after the American dream and then it rotted.”

Mel then snapped: ‘Just like in this interview!’

Former X Factor judge Mel then said: “Don’t forget to tune in on Monday,” before cheekily attempting to storm off the set.

Her co-stars then took her back to her seat and Mel was heard saying: “She said we had to go.”
