The Spice Girls' BIGGEST FALL-OUTS

Not since the 2012 London Olympics have we seen all five Spice Girls performing together. And while Victoria  Beckham has refrained from joining the others on recent tours, it seems things could change. Mel B recently announced, ‘We are going to be doing some stuff, all five of us...’ while she told Woman’s Own ‘something is happening soon’, prompting speculation as to whether a tour with VB on board could be on the cards.

But while the girls seem to be in a good place now, things haven’t always been easy between them. ‘We fight, we argue, we make up,’ Mel B once revealed, adding, ‘We’re like sisters. We go through ups and downs and sometimes we might be p****d off but at the end of the day we’re there for each other,’ also admitting, ‘We might not speak for a week or so but then we get back on Skype and sort our s**t out. The five of us definitely have been through it over the years.’ We take a look at their biggest fall-outs…

POSH VS SCARY 

In her first memoir, Catch A Fire, Mel B revealed that she and Victoria fell out during a group trip to Hawaii in 1995. It was all thanks to Mel’s boyfriend at the time, who defecated on the beach and then washed himself off in the sea. According to Mel, a horrified Posh scolded her, saying, ‘Doesn’t he know what a toilet is? It’s disgusting,’ which in turn left Mel B feeling miffed.

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
