Geri Horner leads birthday tributes to Mel B as Scary Spice turns 44... after laughing off they were at loggerheads following lesbian romp claims
Geri Horner led the birthday tributes to bandmate Mel B on Wednesday as she celebrated her 44th birthday.
The 46-year-old songstress took to Instagram to share shot of the Leeds native performing on stage during their reunion tour, after endless reports that the pair had fallen out over Mel's claims that they had a lesbian romp years earlier.
The flame-haired singer posted a shot of the Mel B dressed in a head-turning gold jumpsuit with sheer panelling and crystal embroidery mid performance with the words 'Happy Birthday Melanie' written across it.

Captioning the shot, Geri wrote: 'Happy Birthday Melanie! Have an amazing day x' alongside two emojis.
Not the only band member to acknowledge her milestone, Mel C, 45, shared a similar shot of the America's Got Talent judge rocking out on stage dressed in an edgy two-piece and gold thigh-high boots while proclaiming her 'love' for the star.
The I Turn To You singer penned: 'Happy Birthday to this absolute power house @officialmelb Love you Scary. So happy to be sharing the stage with you on this special day #spicingupmanchester #birthdaygal #northerners'.
While Emma Bunton, 43, posted a picture of herself hand-in-hand with Mel B dressed in their ethereal-looking stage costumes.
Praising her bandmate, she wrote: 'Happy birthday @officialmelb I love you so much. I'll be squeezing you a little tighter today. Can't wait to celebrate with you! Xxx'.
The group are in the midst of their UK and Ireland reunion tour and are set to take to the Eithad Stadium in Manchester on Wednesday.
The Spice Girls kicked off their reunion tour on Friday in Dublin's Croke Park before taking to the stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in Wales on Monday evening.
They will also be taking Sunderland, Edinburgh and Bristol before arriving to London's Wembley Stadium.
While some fans have congratulated the band mates for their star-studded performances others have been left far from pleased after the shows were marred by audio issues in the stadium.
Addressing the complaints in an Instagram video on Friday at 6am, Mel B admitted that the band had experienced sound issues and said the problems would be improved for the upcoming shows.
Earlier this year the tour was believed to be hanging in the balance after Mel claimed she had sex with Geri during the height of their fame in the nineties.

The openly bisexual singer made the shock claim while filming for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in March, cheekily telling the broadcaster Geri had 'great boobs' and adding: 'It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it.'
However, the saucy claims of their night of passion reportedly caused great upset, with sources suggesting Mel made a frantic call to Geri, who has denied that the fling ever took place.
Speaking of her time in the girlband - which were together from 1994 to 2000 and are now set for a reunion tour - Mel was clearly not in the mood to hold back as she detailed her relationship with Geri, claiming: 'We were best friends. It just happened.
'She (Geri) is going to hate me for this because she is all posh in her country house and her husband, but it's a fact. It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it. She had great boobs.'

When Morgan inquired how frequently they slept together, she said ‘Oh stop it, you pervert’, before eventually claiming there was a solitary sexual encounter.
Piers delightedly expressed: 'This is a bombshell. A Spice Girls bombshell. You have never admitted this before have you? People are going to be fascinated!'
Mel responded: 'Yeah and I have said it now. All done. She is going to kill me and so is her husband.'
'Hopefully when Geri gets asked that, which hopefully she will after this, she won't deny it, because it was just a thing, a fun thing,' she stated.
