'The first gig I went to in Wembley arena was The Spice Girls! I was a dreamer then and these 5 girls (back then) taught me to be free, be me, be proud to be a woman and to not give a f**k!' Jess wrote in her caption.
'21 years later I stood on the same stage and toured with these ladies, not a dream a f**king reality! Thank you for having me. You have been nothing but light in my life from when I was a kid to right now.'
Jess continued that she felt 'blessed' to share a stage with the group after being a lifelong fan. 'You have inspired me, encouraged me and shown me nothing but love and support! You are exactly what the Spice Girls stand for on and off stage.'

The Sun claim tour insiders grew suspicious of the duo as they reportedly became increasingly close and were 'on the same wavelength despite their 15 year age gap', yet Mel has 'remained adamant' things were just platonic.
The Real Love hitmaker is said to have partied into the wee hours with the Wannabe songstress, in news that comes just a week after she pulled out of the Isle of Wight festival despite being seen living it up with the Spice Girls till 7am.
Jess spoke last year about her reluctance to 'put herself in a box' in regards to her sexuality yet admitted she has enjoyed relationships with men and women.

Mel meanwhile sparked controversy ahead of the launch of the tour in May, when she alleged to have enjoyed a lesbian romp with her Spice Girls bandmate Geri Horner in the group's heyday however Geri denied the claims.
Speaking of the rumoured romance, insiders claimed: 'Jess was a huge Spice Girls fan and pretty infatuated with Mel. So it was a bucket-list moment when she was asked to support the group...
'After they performed the gig in Manchester last month, Jess ended up partying with Mel in her dressing room until 7am. They became so close while on tour that there were whispers behind the scenes that they were having a secret romance.
'But Mel is adamant they’re just pals. Although there are 15 years between them Mel and Jess discovered they were on a very similar wavelength. Both of them are straight-talking, and of course Mel enjoyed having her ego stroked by Jess'.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jess and Mel for comment.
Jess' first discussion of her sexuality in the public was in 2015, when she told ES Magazine: 'I was actually broken-hearted. She just f***ed me over. It was the first girl I'd ever fallen in love with. I've never said that to anyone.
'It was a relationship that was so new to me. Someone I met working.'
The news comes after the head of the Isle of Wight Festival slammed Jess' 'shocking behaviour' after she failed to take to the stage for her scheduled performance last Sunday night.

The I'll Be There hitmaker pulled out of the show hosted at Seaclose Park, Newport, on Sunday 10 minutes before she was due to perform due to 'physical exhaustion'.
Festival boss John Giddings criticised the singer as he asserted she would never be booked to play at the music festival again.
He told The Mirror: 'She will never be booked to play the Isle of Wight again. It shows no regards for people that bought a ticket...
'It’s so sad that an artist would do that to their fans. She’s let them down.'
