Will Mel B's loose lips end any hopes of a Spice Girls reunion? How Scary's outbursts about her 'love-hate' bond with Victoria and 'lesbian fling' with Geri have deepened the band's feud

The Spice Girls famously sang in their debut hit Wannabe that 'friendship never ends', but Mel B's frequent loose lips appear to have tested that claim.

The singer recently branded her fellow bandmates Geri Horner, Emma Bunton , Victoria Beckham and Mel C 'd***heads' for kicking her out of their WhatsApp chat.

Mel has publicly made known she is desperately wanting the girls to get back together and reunite for a 30th anniversary tour.

But her incessant badgering of the other girls to get back together to make it happen annoyed them so much they ousted her from the group chat.

It's far from the only time Mel's loose lips have got her in trouble with her fellow bandmates - from claims of a lesbian romance with Geri to leaked texts about how 'charity doesn't pay the bills'.

Her relationship with Geri in particular has always been up and down and things were said to be 'frosty' between them at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party earlier this year. 

It's been a tumultuous year for Geri who is trying to move on from her husband Christian's 'sexting' scandal with an F1 colleague, and given the drama it's understandable she might think twice about spending time with anyone with form for being indiscreet. 

Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham has been extremely protective of her image since reinventing herself as as a fashion designer and skipping the band's reunion tour in 2019, and would also be keen to avoid any leaks that would not align with her personal brand. 

Here, MailOnline reveals how Mel B's loose lips have got her in trouble with her bandmates over the years. 

MEL B BRANDS HER BANDMATES 'D***HEADS'

Mel B branded her bandmates d***heads' over not wanting to do a Spice Girls reunion.

Scary Spice, 49, reignited her spat with the group after she was kicked out of the WhatsApp chat earlier this year.

The singer has publicly made known she is desperately wanting the girls to get back together and reunite for an iconic 30th anniversary tour. 

But as Emma, 48, Mel C, 50, Geri, 52, and Victoria, 50, make it clear that a reunion isn't on their radar, Mel B still consistently bombards them - and was kicked out the chat because of it.

According to The Sun, as Mel B was pressed about why she was really removed from the chat on TV’s Never Mind The Buzzcocks 90s special, she said: 'Because they’re d***heads.'

When asked once again if she thinks a reunion could happen on the Sky Max panel show, Mel B said: 'I don’t know. We’ll see.'

GERI CAN'T BEAR TO SHARE STAGE WITH MEL B

Geri has pulled the plug on plans for a new Spice Girls reunion tour - after her feud with bandmate Mel B turned increasingly ugly.

The group had been in discussions about another run of dates and had even made contact with Victoria Beckham about a possible cameo appearance - with the band excited about replicating the success of their last shows.

But insiders say a bitter rift between the pair - who were once so close they allegedly engaged in a fleeting romance - has now driven a wedge between the group and Geri has now walked away entirely.

A source told MailOnline: 'Geri has had enough to deal with after all the drama with her husband's relationship with his assistant - it has been a tough enough time - and she's just lost patience with Mel and her little digs and jibes.

'She's walked away and without Geri it's really not going to happen - in the past she's been a driving force in the group, but she doesn't want to deal with Mel at all at the moment let alone share a stage with her.'

Earlier this year, Mel made fresh jibes at her former friend by wishing her a 'Happy 75th Birthday' online alongside a series of unflattering photographs from their heyday, seemingly a reference to her previous jibes that Geri had lied about her age in the past.

Insiders say there have been many more digs and jibes behind the scenes which have infuriated Geri - who has had a tough year amid allegations of her Formula One chief husband Christian Horner's inappropriate behaviour with a female assistant.

The source added:  'They've always had a tricky relationship but this has got very messy now and nobody has been able to smooth things over between them - so it's all off again.'

FALLOUT WITH VICTORIA BECKHAM OVER REUNION TOUR IN 2019 

Despite the digs, Geri has rejoined the band on several occasions over the years for the purposes of their money-making shows, but it was 2019's Spice World tour that marked the beginning of the end for Scary and Ginger's friendship. 

The pair clashed over differences in opinion regarding their costumes with Geri, who now only wears cream and has adopted a more wholesome image, wanting to reflect the group's age and the fact they were all mothers - while Mel B was eager to relaunch herself as an 'sexy star.'

A source told The Sun in 2019: 'The gigs will go ahead whatever happens, but those two couldn't be more divided and both see themselves as the boss. Everyone involved is braced for some epic arguments once they're back together.' 

Victoria Beckham's decision not to join her pals on stage, seven years after they performed at the London Olympics. 

By this time, she had ditched her WAG image and was distancing herself from her Posh Spice image in order to reinvent herself as a serious fashion designer.  

At the time a well-placed source revealed to MailOnline, there was a vicious falling-out between the four remaining Spice Girls and Victoria and their former manager, Simon Fuller.

It culminated in a furious text being sent from Mel B to Victoria after she pulled out of the tour, having apparently saying she was fully on board.

Stirring up tensions further, according to the source, was Victoria posing in Spice-inspired outfits for her Vogue shoot earlier the same year, which drove Mel B into a foul-mouthed rage.

A source claimed at the time: 'The girls are furious with Victoria for initially agreeing to reunite, at one stage she even threatened to go legal if the girls cashed in on the brand minus her. 

Mel B then made her feelings known on the subject when she dressed up as Victoria for a Halloween party, holding a sign to indicate that she wouldn't tour even if the fans begged and added that they have a 'love hate relationship'.

For her part, Victoria Beckham was said to be 'furious' with Mel B for her constant discussion of the Spice Girls reunion - and for making her look like the bad guy.

Sources claimed that the designer 'never agreed' to reunite with Mel, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm for a comeback, and was frustrated with her band mate for making out she is the 'killjoy' of the group.

A source said: 'Victoria was always up for a catch-up and the prospect of a celebration of the band's work. But going out on the road for concerts was never something she agreed to.' 

Several years later, Scary's ire was again directed at Geri, admitting in a 2022 interview that she classified her bandmate as one of the 'biggest d***heads in Showbiz.'

During an appearance on Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show, Mel B said of Geri: 'I love her to bits but she’s really f***ing annoying.'

FALLOUT OVER LESBIAN FLING REVELATION  

Prior to the tour, Mel B caused further upset by revealing on Piers Morgan's Life Stories that she and Geri enjoyed a lesbian fling during the band's Nineties heyday. 

Sources close to Geri, who's now married to millionaire Christian Horner and lives with the F1 boss at their 15th century Oxfordshire estate, said the singer was 'livid' following Mel B's claims. 

Mel told Piers: 'She's going to hate me for this because she's all posh in her country house with her husband. But it's a fact. It just happened, and we just giggled at it and that was it.'

Adding that their tryst was a one off, she said: 'She’s going to kill me and so’s her husband. She’s not that posh now, is she?' 

After a week of silence, Geri responded to Mel B's comments with a statement denying her version of events.  

'It has been very disappointing to read about all these rumors again, especially on Mother’s Day of all days,' a spokesperson said. 'Geri loves the Spice Girls: Emma, Melanie, Melanie and Victoria. 

'She would like [the fans] to know that what has been reported recently is simply not true and has been very hurtful to her family. Moving forward, Geri can’t wait to see the girls and all the fans on the tour, have an amazing time with everyone, and make some new memories.'

Scary Spice was slammed for using 'lesbianism as a PR strategy' ahead of their reunion tour and following Geri's reaction, attempted to backpedal on her story. 

The women have reportedly squabbled in recent years over Geri's new 'la-di-da'  image, which tends to rub Leeds-born Mel up the wrong way. 

While Mel B has continued to pursue TV opportunities and will appear in new Netflix reality series Bear Hunt, which airs later this year, Geri has down tools and now spends her days socialising with the upper class, introduced to her by husband Christian, with whom she shares son Montague. 

TAUNTS OVER GERI'S AGE 

Geri, who's also a mum to 18-year-old daughter Bluebell, who she shares from her relationship with Sacha Gervasi, has been tested in recent months by Mel's continued taunts over her age.  

Mel told Olivia Attwood on her podcast So Wrong It's Right that she doesn't believe Geri has been honest about her age.

She said: 'No, well no one knows how old Geri is. No one's seen her passport. I mean, I know we've travelled the world, but I still don't know how old she is. Well, she claims she just had her 50th birthday, but I don't believe her.'

She rub salt in the wound last Tuesday when Geri turned 52, sharing an unflattering photo of the pair on social media, wishing her pal a 'Happy 75th Birthday.' 

It's the first time Mel has publicly interacted with Geri since they celebrated Victoria's 50th birthday in April and it was reported that relations between them were 'frosty.' 

The band thrilled fans as they reunited at Victoria's celebration, dancing to their hit Stop, which was captured on camera by David Beckham – but in reality, Geri did everything in her power to avoid making amends with Mel. 

A source told The Sun: 'Mel tried to smooth things over with Geri at the party but it didn't go as planned. She was laughing it all off but Geri didn't seem interested in hearing what she had to say and wandered off.

'When it came to taking their group picture, Geri kept as far away from Mel as possible which was awkward to watch.

'Geri wanted to be there to celebrate ­and have a good laugh with everyone, not talk to Mel about the embarrassing things she's said about her.'

EMBARASSMENT OVER LEAKED TEXTS   

Shortly after the party in May 2024 several members of the Spice Girls were left 'furious' after unflattering details from a conversation emerged in court documents, according to reports.

Mel B, Geri and Emma were said to have been left red-faced after a private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case.

In the private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case Mel B told bandmates Geri and Emma that 'charity doesn't pay the bills', during an apparent discussion about reuniting for a gig, according to The Sun.

The publication reported that the leaked messages - which were revealed as part of a defamation case in the United States - have infuriated the stars.

There was also apparently a string of emails gossiping about the way Victoria acted at the Viva Forever! West End musical premiere on December 11, 2012.

The fashion designer delayed the curtain call of the West End musical based on the Spice Girls' biggest hits by 15 minutes after getting stuck in traffic.

Once she arrived, she decided to set separately from the rest of the group, taking her seat two rows behind the other women with her husband David and their kids.  

According to the publication's insider, Victoria's snub did not go down well with Mel B in particular.
