Spice Girls reveal secret reunion at Oasis gig years after 'feud' with Liam Gallagher
Two of the Spice Girls reunited at an Oasis recently almost three decades on from rumoured tension between them. Mel C and Geri Horner were among the fans at Wembley Stadium for one of the rock band's shows last week.
The Oasis Live '25 tour arrived at the stadium in London last month for five concerts ahead of additional shows at the venue later in the year. Mel, 51, and Geri, 53, were among those in the crowd at one of the gigs held last week.
Geri had previously shared that she had met three of the Lionesses whilst in the audience. Now, in a post celebrating her birthday today, it has been revealed that 'Ginger Spice' reunited with her former bandmate Mel in the stands too.
Mel, nicknamed Sporty Spice, paid tribute to Geri in a post on Instagram this morning for the occasion. She wrote: "Happy Birthday darling @gerihalliwellhorner, our Ginger Spice. Have an amazing day, love you to pieces."
The post included a series of photos showing them over the years. It included a photo of Mel and Geri stood together in the stands at Wembley Stadium recently, with the former sporting a lanyard that featured Oasis' band logo.
Mel is seen wearing a blue top and trousers, whilst Geri attended the gig in a white jumpsuit. It appears to be the same outfit Geri was wearing in a photo with England footballers Alex Greenwood, 31, Hannah Hampton, 24, and Alessia Russo, 26, at an Oasis gig last Wednesday.
It comes following speculation of a 'feud' between the Spice Girls and Oasis, which includes Liam Gallagher, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, in its line-up, years ago. Mel's previously said that there is "no beef" between them though.
The rumour dates back to the BRIT Awards in 1997, when both bands were up for awards. Hinting an issue with the Spice Girls, Liam reportedly said that he wouldn't attend as he would "smack them" if he bumped into them.
During the Spice Girls' acceptance speech for British Single of the Year, which was given to their debut single Wannabe, rather than Oasis' song Don't Look Back in Anger, Mel had a message for Liam. She said on stage: "I just wanna say, Liam, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!"
Years later though, she dismissed any suggestion of a feud by posing for a photo with Liam and some of her bandmates at the Olympics in 2012, following the Spice Girls' performance. The group were said to have partied together.
More recently, as reported by On The Radio, Mel spoke about Liam when she guest hosted BBC Radio 2 's Sounds of the 90s in 2020. She was joined by pal Geri, who teased that she put "those boys" in their place at the BRITs in 1997.
Mel is quoted as having said: "Yeah so Liam Gallagher had been bad mouthing us and I told him to come and have a go if he thinks he's hard enough. I'd actually never met him and I got to meet him a few months later and he was like 'c'mon then, scouse' kind of offering me out ... he's gone on to make some great records as well, so yeah, no beef."

Geri reportedly said she would often see Liam in a park, further dismissing the idea of any tension between the bands by saying that they say 'good morning' to each other. Mel joked: "Yeah not so rock and roll anymore, are you now, Liam?"
Mel and Geri aren't the only Spice Girls members to have been at an Oasis reunion gig. Last month, their bandmate Mel B, 50, watched the rock band at Heaton Park with her husband Rory McPhee, 37, her eldest child Phoenix Brown, 26, and cousin Christian Cooke, 37, who is a close pal of Rory.

Bonnie Blue sends Ibiza Final Boss cheeky message after girlfriend trouble
Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has caught the attention of adult star Bonnie Blue while he parties in Ibiza amid reports that his girlfriend dumped him over his antics. Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has flown back out to Ibiza with his mates via private jet and has now attracted the attention of adult star Bonnie Blue. The 26-year-old Geordie became an internet sensation overnight when his Lego-style haircut went viral. Since then he has become a household meme with millions of views, announced his own tour and swapped easyJet for a private plane. Jack flew back to his homeland briefly to get a fresh trim, only to head straight back out to the party island. The lad posted an update on Instagram to his 105k followers as he touched down in Ibiza. Driving a Mercedes G-wagon with his signature shades and Turkey Teeth smile, Jack's pal filmed him fist pumping the air to the music with one hand on the wheel. Jack, also known as 'Ibiza Bob', wrote a cryptic caption, telling fans: "The final boss can't be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed". Bonnie Blue has now weighed in on Jack's overnight success as she appears to be desperate to get his attention. The 26-year-old adult star is known for her rage-bait tactics and visiting party hot spots to find men to sleep with and film for her work, including 'barely legal' teens. Bonnie Blue was seen leaving a cheeky comment underneath Jack's post as she replied with a simple eyes emoji, which is often used as a suggestive way of hinting at something. The controversial sex star has been banned from adult platform OnlyFans after staging a 'petting zoo stunt' which would have seen her "tied down" in a glass box in a house in London, where strangers would come and do "whatever they wanted". In her recent Channel 4 documentary, she bragged: "I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked". She received fierce backlash from critics who claim the 'event' glorifies rape culture and perpetuates dangerous myths around sex. Bonnie's interaction with Jack comes amid reports that the 26-year-old's love life is in trouble. His glamorous girlfriend, Alisha Cook, reportedly dumped him on his first Ibiza trip, just days before he went viral. Jack is said to be fighting to save his relationship with the model and and debt collector from Co Durham.. Alisa was reportedly so angry with her boyfriend for partying in Ibiza that she dumped him before videos of his haircut made him go viral. The pair have allegedly talked things through since but a pal of Jack's warned he was 'skating on thin ice' over his party lifestyle. They told the Daily Mail: "Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. They'd been together for almost a year and he was living at her place but things hadn't been right for months. "His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn't want him around anymore. She's had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him." However, it appears Alisha had a quick change of heart as she has publicly declared herself as Jack's girlfriend since he rose to fame. In a series of TikTok videos captioned: "POV: ya boyfriend's now known as Ibiza Final Boss," Alisha is seen cosying up to Jack, including clips of him kissing her cheek and the two of them partying together Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The video has since been made private but social media users did not hold back on their thoughts in the comments. One person wrote: "At least you know he didn't cheat — he's been filmed from every angle on TikTok just having a ball." Another remarked: "Have a word with his barber — I don't know how he leaves the house." A third mockingly wrote: "So was the haircut a choice, or did the barber do him dirty?"

"Kisses @DavidBeckham," Victoria captioned the post and added a series of emojis including, a sun and love heart. Other photos in the series included Cruz showing off his football skills in front of his dad who used to play for Manchester United and Real Madrid. Cruz also showed off his toned figure and posed aboard the yacht wearing nothing but a pair of white Armani swimming trunks. David also posted plenty of pics from their summer trip, and praised one of the family's favourite restaurants, Chez Bruno. "Perfection at Chez Bruno , family run Truffle restaurant WOW," David captioned his own Instagram post which included pics of him getting a private kitchen tour and posing lovingly with his wife. The family holiday comes amid their rift with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, who was on his own Instagram account spruiking his latest venture. The photographer and chef showed off the newly arrived kit which is collaboration between his Cloud 23 hot sauce brand and Jefferson's Bourbon. Brooklyn showed the camera the Jefferson's Rye Manhattan to Brooklyn kit which includes ingredients to create a unique cocktail, including a bottle of bourbon and vermouth, a black cherry syrup pouch, a bottle of Cloud 23 hot sauce, coupe glasses and a bottle of aromatic bitters. "Dubbed the Brooklyn23, the cocktail combines the robust but smooth whiskey with a kick of fiery undertones from the hot sauce," according to the Jefferson's website. David Beckham sings with son Cruz as they reveal glimpse of lavish holiday With a feud dividing the family, Brooklyn has distanced himself from the Beckham clan in favour of his wife Nicola Peltz, and her family. He even missed out on multiple celebrations to mark David's 50th birthday – snubbing a lavish bash, a father-son fishing trip and a calm retreat in Bordeaux. They've even started a 'boat war' by showing off their time on Nicola's family's £85million superyacht in Saint-Tropez that comparitively dwarfs the Beckhams' . Brooklyn and Nicola also renewed their wedding vows after three years of marriage – with the Beckhams not in attendance. At the end of May, Brooklyn shared a video of him and Nicola riding on his motorbike, captioning it: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' They'll also be missing from Victoria's upcoming Netflix documentary.

Bruce Forsyth's widow 'open to finding love again' eight years after Strictly legend's death
Lady Wilnelia, widow of late entertainment star Bruce Forsyth, has revealed she would be open to falling in love again as she tells the Mirror she has 'no idea what the future holds' Bruce Forsyth's widow Lady Wilnelia Forsyth is considering dating again - eight years after the late Strictly legend's death. Asked about the prospect of falling in love again, the 67-year-old nodded enthusiastically as she told the Mirror, ''I've no idea what is in the future for me. But I am really happy.' The Puerto Rican beauty, 67, was married to former Strictly host Bruce for 34 years until his death in 2017, aged 89, closing the curtain on a stellar 75-year career in the entertainment business. It comes after reports of Victoria Beckham's four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls 'feud'. Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response The former actress and beauty queen, who won Miss World 1975, tells us she is in a great place, and believes the secret to her youthful looks is 'trying to be happy' and the fact that she's 'just put a few pounds on'. But she also admits that the last eight years, trying to create a whole new routine since the loss of her beloved husband - with whom she shares grow-up son Jonathan Joseph, 39, have not been easy. 'It is difficult… But you know, what can you do? I always think, at least I am surrounded by all my family. I spend time in Puerto Rico as well and I keep very busy with all the different charities that I support. And I play golf, a lot of golf now. My handicap is 24. I'm getting there.'' Lady Wilnelia, whose late husband was a famously keen golfer and would regularly take part in pro-celebrity golf tournaments, believes he'd be very proud of her newfound sporting passion. 'He would love it. I am the Vice President of Variety Golf. He would have been very impressed with it, I think!'' The former model is certainly keeping herself busy, with trips back to her native country, and attending high-profile recent events such as Ascot. ' I have done so many things, I've been going out everywhere. 'It has been wonderful. Really lovely.' As for Bruce's family, Lady Wilnelia says she still remains in touch with them. 'I've just been celebrating the birthday of one of my step daughters - she was 70 - I don't know how that happened.' Her latest project is a new charity started back home, in her late parents' memory. 'I started a new charity in Puerto Rico because my father and mother both passed away and they both had Alzheimer's. I was a caregiver - and this is for the caregivers.' She adds, 'We are also going to have a gala at some point, celebrating my 50 years of winning Miss World. Imagine, I don't know where time has gone!' When Lady Wilnelia tied the knot with Bruce, it was third time happy for the seasoned entertainer - after two failed marriages before her. Sir Bruce met his first wife, Penny Calvert, at London's Windmill Theatre, when he was in his 20s. The couple married in 1953 and lasted 20 years, the couple going on to have three daughters: Debbie, Julie and Laura, but theirs would prove a turbulent union. In 1971, the presenter launched The Generation Game on the BBC with former Bunny Girl and glamour model Anthea Redfern - and affair a passionate affair, the pair got married on Christmas Eve 1973, five months after Sir Bruce's divorce from Penny was finalised. That marriage lasted six years, and the couple welcomed two daughters, Charlotte and Louisa - but ended when Anthea admitted adultery with another man. Though he went through two divorces, had six children and a smattering of extra-marital affairs, Sir Bruce's private life after tying the knot with Lady Wilnelia - who in later years devotedly nursed her husband through several bouts of ill-health, was happy and conflict-free.. Despite their 29-year age-gap - she was 23 when they met, he 52 - they remained devoted for more than three decades, and Sir Bruce would say on more than one occasion that meeting his third wife was one of the 'luckiest moments' in his life.
