Mel B breaks her silence after her 'frosty reunion' with Spice Girls bandmate Geri Horner at Victoria Beckham's birthday bash
Mel B has broken her silence after it was reported she and her Spice Girls bandmate Geri Horner had a frosty reunion at Victoria Beckham's birthday bash.
The pair are thought to have had a tense exchange before keeping their distance from one another at the party, after Mel claimed in a recent interview that Geri has lied about her age.
Following the bash, Mel appears to have extended an olive branch, as she shared a group snap with her Spice Girls bandmates on Instagram.
She wrote: 'What an amazing girl power weekend with all my girls, i have soooo much love and respect for you ALL #friendshipneverends.'
Mel and Geri were reunited for the luxurious party held at Oswald's in London and posed together for a group shot with other band members Emma Bunton, Victoria and Mel C - though they were at opposite ends of the line.

But The Sun claimed that Geri, 51, and Mel B, 48, were feeling tense, after Mel claimed that Ginger Spice is not 51-years-old.
Despite travelling the world together in the band's heyday, Scary Spice claimed Geri always kept her passport close to her chest so she 'still doesn't know' how old she is.
And after the interview the pair are said to have kept a distance from each other at Victoria's party over the weekend - before Mel B reportedly tried to offer and olive branch.
A source told the publication: '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.'
Representatives for Mel B and Geri have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
After posing together as a five for a snap, later in the night the former band were seen singing their 1997 hit Stop together - in footage captured by David Beckham. But again the pair were at opposite ends of the line.

The former football player could be seen with an excited smile on his face as the group showed off a few dance moves while singing along to the lyrics.
Other partygoers also joined in on the fun during the special moment.
In the caption of the post, David penned to his followers, 'I mean come on x @victoriabeckham @melaniecmusic @officialmelb @emmaleebunton @gerihalliwellhorner,' followed by colourful heart emojis.
Victoria - who later gushed being reunited with the band was the 'best gift' - also shared the clip, writing 'best night ever! Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much! #SpiceUpYourLife'.
Social media users flocked to the comment section to share their thoughts over the reunion, with one typing, 'The moment the entire planet has been waiting for.'
Another added, 'David you are the best social media manager out there, thank you for giving the people CONTENT.'
One follower wrote, 'Spice Girls i really need you to do a tour or something,' while another humorously penned, 'I am crying cause David's the groupie here.'
'The way a whole generation is SHAKING,' a fan wrote, while another added, 'This is now the best day of our collective lives!!!'
It comes after last month Mel B admitted she 'doesn't believe' that Geri is born in 1972, despite her celebrating her 50th birthday last year.
Speaking to Olivia Attwood on her hit podcast So Wrong It’s Right Mel said it is 'wrong' to lie about your age and people should 'embrace it' more.
She said: 'Oh no, that's, that's wrong. Yeah, I feel like we should stop doing it. Embrace your age.'
Olivia added: 'My mum was here the other day and she said, Oh no, it's right, because I don't even know how old she is.'
Mel B added: '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.'
The Spice Girls is a girls group that was formed in 1994 with Beckham (Posh Spice), Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), and Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice).
The group is known for releasing hits such as Wannabe (1996) - which helped skyrocket their career in the industry - as well as 2 Become 1 (1996) and Viva Forever (1997).
Amid the success, a Spice Girls feature film titled, Spice World, was released in theaters and became a box office success.
However, in 2000, the group went on a hiatus while members focused on their own solo careers.
The performers reunited from 2007 to 2008 for the Return Of The Spice Girls Tour, and once again for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

In 2019, the group came together once again to embark on a Spice World Tour - but Beckham did not join.
Last month in March, Mel B stated that the Spice Girls would reunite for the 30th anniversary amid rumors during an appearance on Loose Women.
'We are definitely doing something...I'm probably going to get told off but I've said it, there we go! We are doing something this year. I'm in trouble now…,' she stated at the time.
However in February, Melanie C told The Sun of Mel B: 'I adore her and she has this thing, and it can sometimes get us into hot water. Of course we're always talking, we'd love to do something else.'
'I'd love to get back on stage with the girls but everybody wants to do something a little bit different or in a different way, so it's just trying to get everyone on the same page at the same time.'
She added, 'But Melanie likes to manifest things and she thinks if she says it enough, it will happen. I can't confirm that there is anything happening soon but we're always talking about opportunities.'
Earlier this month, Victoria gave an update on the Spice Girls reuniting for the 30th anniversary while talking to Radio France.
'We do have a group chat, I do speak to all the girls. It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate - a dinner or a lunch - and reminisce, but yes it will not be any more than that.'
