Mel B has risked a full scale feud with her Spice Girls co-stars by lashing out at them in a televised outburst.
The 49-year-old music icon - known to millions by her band code name Scary Spice - is said to have lashed out at fellow singers Emma Bunton, 48, Mel C, 50, Geri Horner, 52, and Victoria Beckham, 50, over their apparent refusal to reconnect for an official reunion. This year marks the 30th anniversary since the five changed the charts by launching their pop group.
Many fans had hoped the ladies would reform for a reunion tour to mark the occasion, but it seems such plans are unlikely. And a report has suggested a bitter feud may be rumbling behind the scenes of the group.
It has been suggested that Mel hit out at her bandmates because they don't support the idea of a new tour. And it has also been reported the star complained about being booted out of a WhatsApp group they were all a part of.

The publication claims Mel was asked why her fellow Spice Girls booted her from their group chat, and she said: “Because I’m Northern and say what I think and feel and I’m constantly saying to the girls, ‘We need to go back on tour’.”
Asked for more details, the Feels So Good singer reportedly quipped: “Because they’re d**kheads.” The Mirror has contacted a representative of Mel for comment.
Earlier this year, Victoria appeared to rule out the suggestion of a 30th anniversary tour. Downplaying plans, she said: “It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate, a dinner or a lunch, but it won’t be any more.”

It has long been rumoured that the Spice Girls have planned to reunite on stage at the Glastonbury music festival. The 2025 event will be the last festival to happen before a planned fallow year. Mel C has been insisting all five ladies want to take to the stage at the iconic music event - previously saying on ITV's Lorraine: "Between you and I, I know Mrs Beckham would love to do Glastonbury" - and suggesting the five "constantly talk about" doing it.
She added at the time that positive fan reaction to other reunion shows had encouraged them to discuss taking to the stage again. The Never Be the Same Again singer said: "When we did the stadium shows in 2019, we were blown away by how much love there still is for the Spice Girls and how it did affect a huge amount of people, a young generation, so positively."
