Mel B's huge 50th birthday celebrations incomplete without two Spice Girls
Mel B officially turned 50 over the weekend, and celebrated in style with former Spice Girls bandmates, Mel C and Emma Bunton.
But while Wannabe hitmakers all danced away to their hits at Victoria Beckham's 50th bash last year, the fashion designer and fellow bandmate Geri Halliwell-Horner were nowhere to be seen at Mel B's celebrations.
Mel B – full name Melanie Brown – had a heavily Spice Girls nostalgia-fuelled theme, as all attendees wore leopard print in a nod to her Scary Spice garms of the 90s and 00s.
Some were surprised that not all of the band were in attendance, especially after rumour has it they are planning a big Abba Voyage-esque 30-year anniversary reunion tour in 2026.
'Friendship never ends love seeing the Mel's & Emma together….such a shame the other two … Nevertheless it looked like everyone had a Spice-tular time,' wrote fan suzy_29 on her Instagram post, showing her pumping up the dance floor with Mel C and Emma.
Mel B also soundtracked the video, which saw her rolling around on the floor with friends, and rocking out in a fabulous shoulder-padded minidress, with the Spice Girls' hit Spice Up Your Life.
'Where's Geri and Victoria?' asked coffeplanet_cf, as andrewmanq wondered the same.
An insider has claimed to The Sun: Mel's throwing a huge party in Leeds for her 50th. It's also her fiance's birthday today so it's a joint celebration and will be a real family affair.
'But Geri and Posh can't make it. Posh had a work commitment she couldn't get out of.'
This comes days after the outlet reported Victoria – who swerved the 2019 Spice Girls tour – has given the digital avatar tour the green light.

Scoring nine number ones between 1996 and 2000 (including six number ones in a row), the Spice Girls became one of the biggest selling pop acts of all time. More Trending
Geri – aka Ginger Spice – left the group in 1998 before the group's eventual split two years later, and the last time the quintlet all performed together was at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
In March, Geri teased to The Sunday Times that 'there will be something' coming for the group.
'We love each other. I love them, I care about them, and we want the best for each other. We shared something so monumental. We've always believed in each other, had trust in each other, which is beautiful,' she said.
'My hope is we come back together as a collective. It's more respectful to come as one, so we'll come as one,' she said, adding that the five of them do have a WhatsApp group chat.

Taylor Swift fans were sent into a frenzy on Thursday evening as they speculated the star might finally be engaged after Travis Kelce took to Instagram to share a rare photo dump of the couple's 'offseason adventures' together. Marking the first time the NFL star has featured the pop sensation on his social media, the pair appeared smitten in the series of pictures. However there was one snap in particular that caught fans eyes after they went wild over Travis' lock screen snap of the two of them. Taylor appeared to flaunt her ring finger in the grainy snap as fans speculated over whether Travis has popped the question. They penned: 'travis's lockscreen is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged ??????'; 'Not to be that person but in his lock screen is she holding up her hand with a ring on her finger'; 'is it an engagement photo???'

'Is Taylor Swift engaged to Travis Kelce? Fans are swooning over Travis' lockscreen' 'everyone pointing out his lock screen is a photo of them but i also think hers is too like literally she deserves the world…' Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that Taylor also had a snap of her and Travis as her screensaver as they notice a glimpse of the black and white jumper he wore during their trip to Lake Como together in May 2024. The pair have been together for two years and a source recently told that the couple are 'all in' and her parents are prepared to give their blessing. Meanwhile last month speculation reached a new high after a friend of the couple gave a clue the couple had secretly tied the knot. The couple were on the guest list to celebrate the marriage of Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz. And Kmet's event planner, Ellie Nottoli, shared behind-the-scenes details from the wedding, including a photo of an invitation letter that was addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce.'

'It's not that weird. it's solely for aesthetic purposes.'; 'Technically it should be Travis and Taylor Kelce'; 'That's usually standard for weddings i believe.'
