The Spice Girls were reunited at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash – but an insider has claimed things were a little “frosty” between Geri Horner and Mel B at first.
All five members of the group – Victoria, Mel B, Geri, Emma Bunton and Mel C – were at the glitzy party at Oswald’s private members’ club in London at the weekend, as Victoria celebrated reaching the milestone. And clips and photos from the bash showed them looking as close as they used to.
But according to The Sun, when they reunited there was some tension between Geri and Mel B. And it’s thought it might have been to do with the fact that Mel recently suggested nobody really knew the truth about Geri’s age.

A source said: “Mel tried to smooth things over with Geri at the party but it didn’t go as planned. She was laughing it all off but Geri didn’t seem interested in hearing what she had to say and wandered off.”

The insider claimed that when it came to taking their group picture “Geri kept as far away from Mel as possible which was awkward to watch”. “Geri wanted to be there to celebrate Victoria and have a good laugh with everyone, not talk to Mel about the embarrassing things she’s said about her,” the person added.
However, it seems things must have warned up as the Spice Girls later got together and performed their hit Stop. A clip of the cute moment was shared on Instagram by Victoria’s hubby David and fans loved it, calling it “iconic” and thanking the footy ace for “crushing it” as videographer for the night.
“The moment the entire planet has been waiting for,” posted another fan.

Victoria also later shared the video of them singing and dancing to Stop, as she gushed that it was the “best night ever”. “Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much!” she wrote, adding the hashtag “#SpiceUpYourLife”.
Showing what the reunion had meant to her, she also uploaded a picture of the Wannabe singers with their arms around each other and beaming at the camera. “The best gift to be reunited!!” she said. “Thank you to all my friends and family for celebrating with me. Kisses! xxx.”

Geri celebrated her 50th in August 2022 but Mel B cast doubt over it last month when she said on the So Wrong It’s Right podcast: “No, well no one knows how old Geri is. No one’s seen her passport. I mean, I know we’ve travelled the world, but I still don’t know how old she is.”
Daily Star has contacted representatives for Mel and Geri for comment.
