Mel B offers Spice Girls second chance with wedding after Geri Halliwell 'snub'
The musician, 50, tied the knot with her hairstylist partner, 37, after six years of dating, but three of her former bandmates were nowhere to be seen at the St Paul's Cathedral ceremony.
Emma Bunton looked stylish in a baby pink number for the event, while Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm shared well-wishes online as they could not be in attendance.
Geri Halliwell, meanwhile, remains radio silent online, seemingly 'snubbing' Scary Spice and her wedding day.
However, the girl group has another chance to get with their friend as she plans a 'more informal and sexy' ceremony abroad.
Speaking to The Sun, she teased the glamorous gown she had splashed out on for the occasion.
'In one incredible afternoon, I found two perfect dresses,' she revealed.
'One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer, and one stunning dramatic dress by a US designer, Justin Alexander'.
The couple tied the knot before enjoying a lavish £28,000 reception at The Shard in London.
The guest list was truly star-studded, with Katherine Ryan, Alan Carr, Gaby Roslin, Cara Delevingne, and Daisy Lowe all in attendance.
Sharing her congratulations with the couple, Victoria, 51, took to Instagram to share a throwback picture of the pair with a touching message.
'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx,' she said.
Meanwhile, Mel C, 51, said she was 'gutted' to miss out on the nuptials.
Sharing a snap from the day, she wrote on Insta to the newlyweds: 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!' More Trending
Details on why Geri, 52, opted to skip the wedding are unknown, but it has been reported that their troubled relationship over the years had something to do with it.
The former bandmates were once reportedly unable to be in the same room due to animosity between them and their tendency to fight.
When appearing on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Mel made the bombshell confession that she and Geri had an intimate relationship during the band's early days.
It's believed Geri was upset by the revelation, for which Mel never apologised. Her husband, Christian Horner, was also reportedly angered by the claims.

Hollyoaks reveals how Jez is caught out as Sienna makes a horrifying discovery
The walls begin to close in on Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) in Hollyoaks next week as Sienna (Anna Passey) starts to piece together the truth about his crimes. The crazed killer has claimed the lives of numerous show favourites, including Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) and Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini). He's also to blame for Abe Fielding's (Tyler Conti) demise and that of Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe), as well as murdering social worker Ian Stone. Jez's murderous antics date back decades, with mum Martha (Sherrie Hewson) having covered up for him for years. While Sienna has some inkling of what her twisted biological father is capable of after she helped him dispose of Dilly's body, she remains in the dark about his true penchant for murder. But that all begins to change next week. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video As audiences know, there have been ructions in the Blake household in the wake of Jez's twisted relationship with Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) having been exposed. Jez and Liberty, however, are unfazed it seems, with the former asking the latter to be his partner in the upcoming Hollyoaks in Bloom flower show. The Blakes remain divided about the relationship, though Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) urges Sienna to support her family. Jez, meanwhile, wants to be a better person for Sienna after everything she's done for him and thus he sets Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) free for his happy-ever-after with Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence). More Trending But will such a thing come to pass? The jury is still out and, as for Jez, time is running out as Sienna is left confused after discovering that Dilly's DNA was found on Ian and Dennis' evidence. Determined to get answers, she heads to the allotment. However, Jez isn't not there and Sienna spots something in the flower beds – and begins to dig. The scenes in question were previewed in Hollyoaks' Summer Trailer last week and let's just say that they're intense. A showdown follows but will Jez finally pay for his crimes?

Ozzy Osbourne fans emotional as family share new tribute to late Black Sabbath singer
Ozzy Osbourne's family, including his wife Sharon Osbourne, announced last week that the Black Sabbath member had died, aged 76, just weeks after his farewell concert The late Ozzy Osbourne has been the subject of yet more tributes following the news of his death almost a week ago. Fans have shared that they continue to mourn the Black Sabbath member this week ahead of his funeral. Ozzy's family announced last Tuesday that the singer-songwriter had died, aged 76, that morning, with his wife Sharon Osbourne, 72, and four of his children issuing a joint statement at the time. There was then an outpouring of tributes to him, including from his former bandmates. The verified account for Ozzy on Instagram has continued to post about him since the news broke, including in a tribute uploaded earlier today. It shared a photo that showed a logo of Ozzy's name above a black candle with a flame on top. The caption simply included an emoji depicting a candle. Accompanying the photo and its caption was the song Holy For Tonight, which was included in the post. The track, co-written by Ozzy, featured on his second most recent album, titled Ordinary Man, which was released back in 2020. The post has amassed more than 220,000 likes since it was uploaded this afternoon. Some fans took to the comments section to address the loss and reflect on it having been almost a week since 'the Prince of Darkness' died. One person wrote: "We will miss you forever." Another said: "Can't believe it's almost been a week." Whilst someone else commented: "It still hasn't sunk in." Sharing their thoughts, another fan wrote this evening: "Still doesn't seem real." Someone wrote: "I still can't believe you're gone Ozzy, thank you for everything." One person said in their reaction to the post: "You'll live forever in our hearts, Ozzy." Another wrote earlier today: "Love you Ozzy, I am still in disbelief that you have passed away. Thank you for your music." One fan commented: "I can't even begin to imagine the massive hole he has left in the lives of Sharon, his children and his grandchildren. My heart goes out to them." Another wrote in their response: "Sending light and love to all the family." Ozzy's death was announced last week by relatives including his wife Sharon. She issued a statement alongside their three children Aimee Osbourne, Jack Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne, as well as Ozzy's eldest son Louis Osbourne. They said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Just weeks before his death, Ozzy had performed at a farewell concert in Birmingham as part of Black Sabbath's original line-up. He took to the stage at Villa Park stadium on July 5 in the star-studded Back to the Beginning concert and the gig is set to be turned into a film to be released next year.
