Spice Girls star Mel B shares genius way she prepared for her upcoming wedding
Music icon Mel B has detailed how she has been preparing for her upcoming wedding to hairdresser Rory McPhee - who she has credited with helping her trust and love again
Mel B prepared for her upcoming wedding in style by practicing walking down the aisle and even throwing a bouquet on a US chat show appearance.
The Spice Girl, 49, told host Jimmy Fallon she will marry in St Paul's cathedral and she the proceeded to walk down the Studio 6B 'aisle' with an audience member before meeting Fallon at the 'altar' and kissing him. An audience member then caught her bouquet.
In real life she will wed hairdresser Rory McPhee who she has credited with helping her trust and love again after an abusive relationship with her ex. 'He's a beautiful soul,' she said, before explaining she had to go for interviews to get approval to marry at St Pauls.
She added: 'My fiancé went on his bachelor party, we call it a stag do in England. His friends dressed him up as Scary Spice and put him in a leopard print onesie!'
Mel B was appearing on the show as she will again be a judge on America's Got Talent this year. She also refused to confirm or deny whether there is still a Spice Girls reunion in the works, but she said she hopes it might happen and Victoria Beckham will design her wedding dress.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Mel said of the reunion: 'I'm always the first person to say, 'Oh, it's going to happen. It's going to happen,' but, just this once, I'm not saying anything.'
Fallon excitedly replied: 'That means something! I'll take that as something.' Mel B responded: 'Take it as you want to take it, Jimmy.'
The Spice Girls had enjoyed an impromptu reunion at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday bash last year, and Mel B admitted that she would have preferred to have come back together for the fans, rather than party guests.
She explained that the singers joined forces to perform their song 'Mama'. 'So then Mel C got up, and I was like, 'Why we getting up, doing a free concert?' And I was the last one going up, going, 'Why are we doing this?' I want to do it to the fans! That's the most important thing.'
The five-piece girl group, Mel B, Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, and Emma Bunton, then sang their song 'Stop,' which was captured by David Beckham and shared on social media. 'Clearly we hadn't rehearsed in a while,' Mel B said after Fallon showed footage of the two songs. 'We were a bit off key, but, you know, we blend well together,' she added.
Last year, the quintet celebrated 30 years as a group by sharing footage from their first Spice Girls auditions back in 1994, soundtracked to their 1996 debut single 'Wannabe.' The group had a reunion tour in 2019, but Beckham did not join the outing.

Posh puts on a brave face as she shares message with fans amid family feud
With Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz continuing to distance themselves from the close-knit family, cryptic social media posts have cemented concerns of a feud Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham has put on a brave face in her latest Instagram video, but the mother-of-four looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders amid her estrangement from son Brooklyn. Victoria, 51, has shared a clip of herself applying make up to promote her Victoria Beckham Beauty range. The Spice Girls star could be seen with a white towel wrapped around her hair, wearing a personalised silky robe while she talked into the camera. With dewy skin and her usual perfect make up, she described her new summer look to her 32.9 million followers, giving a tutorial on how to use her Satin Kajal Liner in Terracotta. Fashion icon Victoria admitted she "spent a lot of time obsessing" over the colours in her make up range, telling fans about how different her products are to other things on the market. But she seemed more downbeat than usual in the clip, with her concern over her son's relationship with his family likely to be laying heavy on her. The family's fall-out with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has caused speculation among fans that a feud has emerged. Various cryptic videos have been posted on both sides of the rift, while Brooklyn completely missed out on his dad David 's 50th birthday celebrations - making him the only member of the family not to attend. A recent interview with Glamour's German magazine saw Brooklyn and Nicola open up on their relationship and the pressures fame has put on them. When asked about how he protects his relationship in the spotlight, Brooklyn said: "Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together." Nicola added: "It's not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us. When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it's not worth it. I just scroll past and move on." Nicola, who is the daughter of American billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, married Brooklyn, Victoria and David Beckham's eldest son, in 2022. The interview seemed to show Nicola and Brooklyn distancing themselves from his close-knit family. When a customer asked about his Cloud23 hot sauce brand's name, a member of his team explained: "The 23 included in our brand is a warm nod to Brooklyn's father, David Beckham, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan." But in Brooklyn's interview in April with Glamour, he offered up a new meaning: "The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then." Fresh images of Brooklyn also show that his tribute to Victoria, a tattoo reading: "Mama's boy," has been covered up. In an Instagram video shared in May, Brooklyn appeared to clearly pledge allegiance to Nicola. Showing him take his wife for an early morning motorbike ride, he wrote: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby." Less than a day after Brooklyn's pointed statement, his brother Cruz Beckham, 20 shared what seemed to be a response. He posted a clip of one of his mum Victoria's songs from her solo self-titled album, Every Part Of Me, writing simply: "Listen." The lyrics read: "I think you should know that people gonna come and go. Be assured of this one thing, I will still remain. I know that there will come a day when you have to go away. But you have no reason to fear, I promise I'll be here if someone ever breaks your heart. "And you feel your world is torn apart. My love for you will bring you through hard times. I'll help you be strong." The song poignantly ends: "I'll always love you so... You'll always be my baby."

Victoria Beckham steps out as it's announced her husband David is set to receive a knighthood
Victoria Beckham stepped out in West London on Thursday as it was announced her husband David is set to receive a knighthood. The former Spice Girl, 50, looked effortlessly chic in black workout gear and a pair of stylish shades as she emerged from her £100K Porsche. The news of David's knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List comes after years of being snubbed for the honour. Now footage from the couple's 2003 ITV documentary The Real Beckhams has resurfaced, revealing Victoria had her sights on a title of her own long before the honours list caught up with her husband. Filmed on the morning of David's OBE investiture at Buckingham Palace, the scene shows the couple in a London hotel room preparing for the big day. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'David's nan and grandad are very excited. It's going to be a really nice day, and we're going to have lunch afterwards,' Victoria explains, before turning to the football legend and adding: 'I can't believe you're going to be David Beckham OBE.' David replied, 'I'm going to make you call me it,' to which Victoria responds with a grin, 'When you become a Sir and I'm a Lady, I'll make everyone call me it. Everyone! Even you.' Laughing awkwardly, David said: 'We'll see.' It was, at the time, a light-hearted exchange, but with David finally due to be knighted more than two decades later, her playful banter now feels incredibly prescient. The former Manchester United and England star, 50, is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours List. He will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun, meaning Victoria will officially be known as Lady Beckham. In the resurfaced footage of their preparation for his OBE investiture, their sons - and only children at the time - Romeo, then 14 months, and Brooklyn, then four, also appear. A lively Brooklyn flits through the scene, hugging his dad as he returns from the ceremony. The tender father-son moment that day feels especially poignant now, given the rift between Brooklyn and the family. The news of David's knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List comes after years of being snubbed for the honour - the doc was filmed on the morning of David's OBE investiture at Buckingham Palace, the scene shows the couple in a London hotel room preparing for the big day Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham remain estranged from the wider family, meaning it's unlikely they will be joining them in celebrating David's knighthood next week. Victoria and David also share son Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13. At another point in the video, Victoria jokes to David about his OBE, which was awarded by the late Queen for his services to football: 'Damn, I can't believe you beat me to it.' The pop star turned fashion designer is yet to receive a royal honour and following the investiture, she also admits to having a new-found appreciation for the royals. 'I like the fact that we have a Royal Family - it's lovely - but I was looking at the Queen today and I'm thinking, she's standing there for an hour and a half, giving out these awards... she probably does this every day. She travels around, she does a job at the end of the day, and she's still really polite. She made every single person there today feel special.' She adds: 'She spoke to everybody! Some guy got a medal for services to the Inland Revenue. I mean, who the hell would want to talk to him? But she did! That was so nice. 'We had a little bit of a nosy round [the Palace]. It wasn't quite as stylish as Beckingham Palace, not quite as modern.' Beckingham Palace was the nickname given to their lavish £2.5million home in Hertfordshire, which David and Victoria purchased shortly after their 1999 wedding. David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003 The Grade II-listed mansion, set in 24 acres and featuring a maze, recording studio and football pitch, became a symbol of their early-2000s celebrity status. They sold the property in 2014 to focus on homes abroad and a more private lifestyle. Later on in the fly-on-the-wall documentary, David reflects: 'I felt really proud today. Proud to be English,' adding that the Queen told him it was a great honour to be giving him the medal. 'She asked me if it's tiring travelling back and forward playing football. I said no.' Referring to his 2003 autobiography My Side, he continues: 'She didn't ask for an autograph... She'd read my book though.' The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening. David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003. While his appointment as an ambassador to HM's charity the King's Foundation was deemed an encouraging sign earlier last year, but his complicated tax affairs had once been viewed as a possible barrier. And in February 2017, there was a slew of leaked emails showing the former footballer had appeared to unleash a barrage of expletives criticising the honours committee that had once again left him off the list for a coveted gong. There was also an alleged 2013 leaked email, when, bitter not to be knighted, he complained about Katherine Jenkins, fuming 'Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. Plus taking coke. F****** joke.'

The 51-year-old former pop star is no longer in plans for the band's 30th anniversary, it's claimed beck to rivals Victoria Beckham in 'new feud' after Brooklyn drama as Geri cuts her out of Spice Girls 'reunion' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VICTORIA Beckham has reportedly been cut out of the Spice Girls 'reunion'. Posh Spice - whose husband David is to be knighted - is said to have been left out of discussions to create Abba-style avatars of the band to 'perform' in concert. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 The Spice Girls are set to celebrate their 30th anniversary next year Credit: Getty 2 Victoria Beckham has allegedly been left out of planning Credit: Getty It's after Geri Halliwell-Horner said she wasn't interested in going on tour when their old manager Simon Fuller began talks about marking the group's 30th anniversary. Now a source tells The Mail's Alison Boshoff that Victoria will not be part of the virtual. line-up, adding: "Simon Fuller planning a tour has caused yet another schism. Victoria is f****d off that they have gone with him and there is no way that she will be a part of it. "The bad feeling seems to go back to her and David having to spend millions on buying him out of Beckham Brand Holdings. "He still has a stake and board seat on her fashion business. There is resentment there. "But Simon Fuller is the only person who could get Geri to rejoin the Spice Girls. "He is also the one person in the world who could never persuade Victoria." It follows a tricky time for Victoria and her family amid a rift with eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. Her husband David celebrated his 50th last month with a string of parties, though Brooklyn stayed away. Brooklyn's siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper all turned out to party with their dad, mum, and A-list names like Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie. Meanwhile, the eldest Beckham child and his wife were nowhere to be seen.
