Spice Girls icons Geri Halliwell-Horner, Victoria Beckham, Mel C and Emma Bunton lead the stars wishing Mel B a happy 50th birthday
Mel B was showered with birthday wishes from across the world on Thursday as she turned 50.
All her former bandmates from the Spice Girls, including Geri Halliwell-Horner (Ginger Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie C (Sporty Spice) and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), were among the celebrities who paid tribute to her on social media platforms.
Celebrating your golden milestone today, Mel! Here’s a throwback picture from the ’90s and sending you heartfelt wishes for an amazing year ahead. #Happy50thBirthday
51-year-old Victoria posted a nostalgic picture, taken in Tokyo, Japan back in 1998, as a heartfelt tribute to mark her special birthday.
She captioned the snap: ‘Happy birthday @officalmelb!! Kisses xx’.

Emma, aged 49, shared three charming photos featuring herself and Mel throughout the years, captioning them: “Celebrating your 50th birthday, @officalmelb! I won’t be too far behind!
‘From zig ah zig ah to belly laughs. Hope you have the best day. Sending love and birthday hugs.’
It’s been 50 years for me on this Earth, dear @officialmelb. The experiences we’ve shared! I can still recall our very first encounter and thinking you were the most amazing person I had ever met. Can it really be over 30 years since then?
I’m incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished, and the way you’ve turned challenges into opportunities to assist others is truly inspiring. You are absolutely phenomenal, and my admiration for you exceeds any expression I could find in words.
‘Looking forward to BIG celebrations soon! Happy Birthday you Northern nutter.’
It seems that Mel and Geri have reconciled following the rumors of a disagreement between them.
The conflict started when Mel revealed on Piers Morgan’s talk show in 2019 that she had a romantic relationship with Geri during their band’s popular phase in the nineties, which was of the same sex.
During the interview, Melanie explained that the intense event transpired spontaneously, and it appeared she had anticipated Geri’s potential reaction to this disclosure. This is because Geri tied the knot with Formula 1 racing team leader Christian Horner in 2015.
Mel mentioned, “She might not appreciate this due to her aristocratic background, her country estate, and her spouse, but the truth remains. It wasn’t planned, it occurred spontaneously, and we shared a laugh about it, and that was all there was to it.
‘I have said it now. All done. She is going to kill me.’
In another phrasing, Geri refuted the claim that the affair happened, as Mel was alleged to have invented it for boosting sales of her candid autobiography titled “Brutally Honest.
According to someone familiar with the situation, it was considered quite uncouth, despite the intention of promoting a new book.
‘No significant events transpired. However, it’s well-known that Mel B enjoys being in the spotlight. What might have been amusing two decades ago has now gone too far and is no longer humorous.’
This version maintains the original message while using simpler language and a more conversational tone.
On Wednesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, Mel wore a provocative outfit reminiscent of lingerie, hinting at the potential return of the Spice Girls.
On Jimmy Fallon’s program, the former Spice Girl, known as Scary Spice, made an appearance, preparing for the upcoming season of America’s Got Talent, set to start towards the end of this month.
Oh my goodness, let me tell you, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from Mel during that event! She truly stole the show in this stunning cream and pink ensemble – it was like a beacon calling for all the attention in the room.
The figure-hugging dress showed off the mother-of-three’s curves.
In this outfit, the AGT and ex-BGT judge sported her naturally wavy, chestnut-colored tresses, matching them with an eye-catching pink heel pair.
At her recent public event, Mel fueled excitement among Spice Girls fans by subtly suggesting a potential reunion with an enigmatic clue.
She informed Jimmy that she is quick to express optimism, saying something like, “Yes, I think this will occur, I think this will occur.
‘But just this once, I’m not saying anything.’
Jimmy quickly quipped: ‘That means something! I’ll take that as something.’
To which Scary Spice responded: ‘Take it as you want to take it, Jimmy.’
Mel’s recent suggestion aligns with speculations suggesting a potential reunion of the Spice Girls for a global tour, marking thirty years since the launch of their first hit single, Wannabe.
It’s reported that Victoria has a very low chance (approximately 10%) of participating, as she hasn’t appeared on stage with the girls since the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony.
In a recent chat, Melanie Chisholm revealed that another band member appeared less keen on taking up the microphone once more and required additional encouragement to do so.
Discussing on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice mentioned that next year holds significant importance for them and they should find a suitable way to recognize it.
As an ardent admirer, I’m positively ecstatic about the prospect of this discussion! You see, Melanie and Emma [Bunton], in my heart, I firmly believe that we would grace the stage once again. However, it appears that others might require a touch more persuasion to fully embrace this idea.
Speaking about the possibility of all five of them performing together for the first time since 2012, Mel expressed: “It would be absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing. Sometimes it feels like a responsibility we owe to the world.
In 2019, our performances brought immense joy to a multitude of individuals. Though not everyone is a fan of the Spice Girls, there are plenty who certainly are.
In these unusual times, there’s an overwhelming amount of negativity and troubling events happening. Let’s make an effort to bring some positivity and excitement into our lives instead.
There have been reports that Geri Halliwell-Horner and her former band manager, Simon Fuller, have reconnected, which could be a sign that the long-rumored reunion might finally be happening.
According to a source, there have been whispers about this matter for quite some time now, but due to her hectic schedule and other commitments, Geri hasn’t had the opportunity to give an affirmative response.
‘Nothing is yet confirmed but Geri and Simon are back in touch with a myriad of exciting ideas.
Despite her seeming unavailability for the main role, there remains a possibility that Victoria might make a virtual appearance or participate in a unique, one-time event. Regardless, she intends to pay tribute to the group’s past achievements.
‘If Simon were to get involved, this would absolutely take any tour to the next level.’
