A look at Spice Girls Geri Halliwell and Mel B’s feud as Ginger pulls the plug on pop reunion because she can’t ‘bear to share the stage with bandmate’ after weeks of rows
It emerged today that Geri Horner 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 engaged in a fleeting romance – has now driven a wedge between the group and Geri has now walked away entirely.
It comes after in April the pair reportedly had a ‘frosty’ reunion at Victoria’s 50th birthday party where they had a tense exchange after Mel claimed in an interview that Geri has lied about her age.
As the feud rumbles on here is everything you need to know about their tumultuous friendship…
Geri has pulled the plug on plans for a new Spice Girls reunion tour – after her feud with bandmate Mel turned increasingly ugly.
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.’
Last week saw Mel make 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 six months 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.’
MailOnline has contacted The Spice Girls’ representatives for comment. Mel B’s representative declined to comment.
