The reunion came after Scary Spice admitted she felt “really sad” for her bandmate Geri after her Red Bull Racing chief husband Christian Horner‘s leaked text message scandal.

She also claimed that Geri had lied about her real age in the Spice Girls’ early years.

Geri has since unfollowed Mel B on Instagram, although she still follows Victoria, Mel C and Emma Bunton.

And we revealed this week how Mel’s attempts to smooth things over at the party with her former bandmate got an icy reception.

Last night, Mel appeared to extend an olive branch once again as she shared a photo of the girl group posing in their party glam at Victoria’s bash.

She shared a gushing tribute that reflected their glittering careers and band ethos in the nineties – and said that she loved Geri, Victoria, Emma and Mel C.

Mel wrote alongside the photo: “What an amazing girl power weekend with all my girls, I have soooo much love and respect for you ALL #friendshipneverends.”

Last month Mel exposed fellow bandmember Geri for allegedly lying about her age.

She claimed that at the height of the Spice Girls’ fame, when they were jetting across the globe, Geri would keep her passport away from prying eyes so that the others couldn’t catch a glimpse of her real age.

Speaking on the Olivia Attwood podcast in March, she said: “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.

“She claims she just had her 50th birthday, but I don’t believe her.”

The Spice Girls reunited at Victoria’s exclusive birthday bash over the weekend at private members club Oswalds in Mayfair, just a stone’s throw from her flagship Dover Street store.

The five former bandmates delighted guests by performing their hit song Stop, which was caught on camera by Victoria’s husband David Beckham.

But The Sun revealed Mel B’s attempts to smooth things over with Geri didn’t go smoothly.

A source said of the stars, who burst onto the pop scene with their No1 hit Wannabe in 1996: “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 ­Victoria and have a good laugh with everyone, not talk to Mel about the embarrassing things she’s said about her.”
