“Geri bowed to Mel B”: Spice Girls reunion was not so cordial after all | Celebrities

Victoria Beckham celebrated her fiftieth birthday last week with an exclusive dinner in London. During the festive evening, her husband David Beckham had another surprise: a reunion of the Spice Girls. This brought singers Geri Halliwel and Melanie ‘Mel B’ Brown face to face for the first time since their falling out. Mel B revealed in an interview with podcaster Olivia Attwood that Geri has always lied about her age. She claimed that Geri hid her passport when they had to travel. “No one knows how old Geri is, no one has ever seen her passport,” she said at the time. “We’ve traveled all over the world, but I still don’t know how old she is. She says she turned 50, but I don’t believe her.”

That revelation would not have gone down well with Ginger Spice. So the atmosphere was tense during the birthday party. This is what a witness present told ‘The Sun’: “Mel tried to laugh away the tensions, but it didn’t go as planned. Geri didn’t seem interested in her and walked in an arc around her.” While taking the group photos, Geri kept her distance from Mel. To outsiders, it even seemed a little awkward. “Geri just wanted to enjoy the evening and laugh. She especially didn’t want to talk to Mel about the embarrassing things she said about her,” the newspaper said.
