The former Scary Spice got the fright of her life when the girl band impersonators greeted her at a meet-and-greet with her fans at the Sugar Factory American Brasserie.

Mel, 40, appeared thrilled to be having her dream realised to some extent and she was all too happy to pose for pictures with her alter-ego and band mates.
While the former X Factor judge's image has well and truly been overhauled since her leopard-print-loving days twenty years ago, her drag queen tribute reminded her of what she once was.
The female impersonator sported Mel's signature afro and was appropriately styled in an animal-print blouse which was unbuttoned down to her bust.

Meanwhile, the Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham lookalikes all gave the girls a run for their money.
Geri sported Ginger Spice's signature red-head bob and an American flag bodysuit - a patriotic take on her iconic Union Jack dress.
Victoria's alter-ego worked her characteristic steely pout, a sharp bob and a boob-tube-style little black dress.
The tribute version of Baby Spice was perhaps the least convincing as the drag queen was without her cutesy bunches.

Mel B was joined by former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jonathan Cheban who'd been banned from attending the show's final that evening due to his complaint of claustrophobia.
The best friend of Kim Kardashian seemed in high spirits despite moaning on Twitter it was 'scam' he was unable to attend the finale while 'maniac' Angie Bowie was.
The pair appeared to be getting on well as the well-connected PR man taught the former chart star the ways of social-networking app Snapchat.

Mel looked sensational in a nude-coloured bodycon dress which was the perfect choice for making the most of her enviably-fit figure.
She teamed the sexy one-piece with a pair of matching heels which featured a row of spiked studs down the back of the heels.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was left raged he'd missed out on the fun evening with her former housemates which saw Scotty T crowned the eventual winner.
'Such a scam that Angie who was a maniac ran out of the house is at the finale N they told me I couldn't go cause I was claustrophobic,' he wrote on Twitter before expressing his happiness for triumphant Scott.
Congrats @ScottGShore winning #CBB. He's always so fun. We had the best time and he remained the same way to till the end!! See you soon!'
