Mel B shared an incredible throwback of the Spice Girls singing in her mother's kitchen much to the delight of her Instagram followers on Monday.
The 51-year-old songstress was seen holding a can of lager while standing alongside bandmates Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Geri Horner (neé Horner) and Emma Bunton.
She added a caption reading: 'all this 30th anniversary luv has got me reminiscing about these 5 girls… my heart wowzaaa what a time we had!!! and YES this is in my mothers kitchen and YES that is a tin of skol in my hand whilst harmonising'.
Victoria, known as Posh Spice, was unrecognisable, while ageless Mel B, AKA Sporty Spice, wore a tight white top and jeans alongside a barely-seen Geri, also known as Ginger Spice and Emma, nicknamed Baby Spice.
The undated photo sees the band looking every inch the Nineties icons, with Mel C garnering particular attention by sporting jumper from The Sweater Shop - the now-defunct jumper company, which closed in 1995.
Excited fans wrote of the iconic jumper: 'The can of Skol and The Sweatershop jumper... the sweater shop jumper... nostalgia'.

The Spice Girls were formed in 1994 before signing a record deal in 1995 and soaring to massive fame upon the 1996 release of Wannabe.
After being formed as a female counterpart to Nineties hits such as Oasis and Blur - with the aim of pop taking back the attention from Britpop.
Paul Gorman, the contributing editor of trade paper Music Week wrote a piece about the group stating: 'Just when boys with guitars threaten to rule pop life...
'Damon's all over Smash Hits, Ash are big in Big! and Liam can't move for tabloid frenzy, an all-girl, in-yer-face pop group have arrived with enough sass to burst that rockist bubble.'
An article in Top Of The Pops then gave the group their iconic 'Spice' nickname.
In 1997, they released their second album, Spiceworld, and starred in their own film, Spice World, becoming a global phenomenon, with millions of records sold and sell-out tours before Geri left the following year.

The remaining four continued together before they went on hiatus to pursue solo careers and other projects in 2000.
Between 2007 to 2008, all five reunited for a hugely successful world tour and in 2012 they performed together at the London Olympics closing ceremony, creating one of the most memorable moments of the event.
In 2019, Victoria opted out of another reunion, but the other four members reunited for a UK stadium tour however there have now been whispers of a return.
In March however, Mel C staunchly said: '"No there is no reunion. We are communicating all the time. We want to do something...
'Who knows when, but I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future'.
The Spice Girls remain one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, selling more than 100million records worldwide and helping redefine female pop music.
