Mel B reunites with her mum Andrea and sister Danielle after a bitter nine-year family feud as she recovers from 'freak accident'
She famously cut her mother, father and sister out of her life in 2008 after they disapproved of her husband Stephen Belafonte.
But Mel B proved that the family have put the past behind them, as the Spice Girl spent time with them after she had sustained two broken ribs and a 'severed' hand following a 'freak accident'.
Scary Spice, 43, was sat around a table with her mother Andrea Brown, her sister Danielle, and her sister's family for a fun Sunday lunch at their home in Leeds.

Earlier this month, Mel sustained two broken ribs and a 'severed' hand after falling down the stairs at a friend's home in London.
A source revealed to US TV show Entertainment Tonight that the singer was staying with the unnamed friend over the weekend, information which has also been shared by her best pal Gary Madatyan.
According to the website, when the Spice Girl attempted to make her way downstairs after waking up in an upstairs bedroom, she struggled to navigate the narrow staircase and subsequently lost her footing.
Taline Boyamian, a lawyer for the star, has insisted to TMZ that neither drugs nor alcohol were involved in the accident.
And in a drug test obtained by The Sun, the singer proved that her test results came back clean. She was tested as protocol when admitted to hospital on Sunday.

Mel's mother recently said the Spice Girls star was involved in a 'freak accident' which led to her suffering the sustained injuries.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the property manager, who is based in Leeds, said the mishap has 'set Mel back' but she is hoping to be out of hospital and home for Christmas.
Andrea said: 'She had a freak accident. It’s not for me to say how it happened, she’ll tell her fans on Instagram if she wants, but it’s set her back.
'She’s still in hospital, she’s just had an op and she can’t fly back to America yet. But she'll be OK and will hopefully be up and about soon and hopefully home for Christmas. She’s a fighter.'

Back in 2008, Andrea was cut off from the Broadway star and her daughters due to her disapproval of Mel's husband Stephen.
She made no secret of her feelings about Belafonte at the time of the argument, who became Mel's husband in 2007 after a secret Las Vegas wedding.
It was their vow renewal ceremony in Egypt that led to the family feud reaching its peak, where Mel also fell out with her sister Danielle, and her father Martin.
It was rumoured that her husband banned Mel's relatives from getting in contact at this event.

This resulted in the family never meeting her youngest daughter Madison, born in 2011 - a far cry from when Andrea has been allowed to cut the umbilical cord at the birth of Mel's second child Angel, in 2006.
Andrea even revealed in an interview with The Sun that she only learned of the pregnancy and birth via the internet.
'I only found out she was pregnant because of Twitter and I found out on Twitter that she'd had the baby too,' she said.
Mel was married to ex-husband Belafonte for 10-years, with the star claiming their relationship triggered her post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.
It was reported in January last year that Mel resolved the nine-year feud with her mother, dad and sister by inviting invited them to spend time at her family home in Los Angeles as she realised that 'life was too short' to maintain their argument.

Hitting out: In old emails, Mel was labelled a narcissist and a liar who refused to visit her cancer stricken father Martin (pictured) until he was on his deathbed by her mother and sister
In April it was revealed that Mel was labelled her a narcissist and a liar who refused to visit her cancer stricken father until he was on his deathbed in emails allegedly drafted by her mother and sister.
The emails were filed at Los Angeles Superior Court by Mel's ex-husband Stephen as part of an ongoing request that daughter Madison and step-daughter Angel attend therapy following their acrimonious divorce.
One message, purportedly from the former Spice Girl’s mother Andrea, accuses Mel, 42, of ignoring repeated requests to visit ailing father Martin, who lost his five year battle with cancer in March 2017.
It reads: 'Just fir (sic) the record I have proven emails with dates of when I sent you them urging you to visit your dad informing you his cancer had returned, your dad and (sister) Danielle also have copy’s (sic) so the pointless lies once again proven, you really do need to seek professional help the anger lies and abuse you give is only damaging yourself, it now has no effect on us we have hardened to it from you.
'You may want to look up narcissism you have all the symptoms of it and there is help out there if you want it.'

A second, allegedly from younger sister Danielle and brutally titled 'The day my only sister was out my life for good,' savaged Mel for only visiting her father when he was close to death.
'I was totally and utterly shocked at such a heartless cold and detached statement about our Dad. You stated that ‘not call you or contact you until he is on his death bed and then you will attend to pay your last respects. (Even writing these words I find impossible)
'Can I ask you why would you want to attend when he is on his death bed, but not make any attempt to be in touch or mend family rifts whilst he is still able to maintain his health?'
She added: 'Is it to relieve any guilt on your behalf? Or fear of your public image being tarnished? Or that you just thing it’s the done thing?
'You leave me bewildered and confused that I grew up in the same household as someone so self absorbed and down right nasty!!'
It's understood that Belafonte submitted the emails in a bid to lift the lid on Mel's true relationship with Andrea and Danielle, who he allegedly claims are playing an active role in trying to alienate him from the lives of his children.
