AS one of the chosen few who attended Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash, you’d think Mel B would have been discreet in her choice of words.
But in typical scary fashion, Mel has put her leopard print foot in it, by making a dig at Victoria’s age.

Writing on social media, the 48-year-old told her 1.6 million followers about her eventful weekend.
She said: “Been epic, Victoria Beckham 60th birthday yesterday to meeting my competition winners at @roryjameshair spa day to you @emmaleebunton and @jadejones who made my night/long weekend complete.”
Cleary this is a faux pas, given that it was in fact Victoria’s 50th birthday party and its not the first time she has riled up the Spice Girl sisterhood on the subject of age.
Last month she exposed fellow bandmember Geri Horner for consistently lying about her digits.
She revealed how at the height of The Spice Girls fame, when they were flying around the world, Geri would be protective of her passport so that the others couldn’t catch a glimpse of her real age.
Speaking on the Olivia Attwood podcast, 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.
During the party The Spice women delighted guests by performing their hit song Stop, which was caught on camera by Victoria’s husbands David Beckham.
Writing on his social media beneath the video clip, the former Manchester United and England Midfielder said:
“I mean come on x@victoriabeckham, @melaniecmusic @officialmelb, @emmaleebunton @gerihalliwellhorner,” accompanied by colourful heart emojis.
Indeed Mel, who keeps dropping hints that the girls are set to reunite for some gigs ahead of their 30th anniversary, teased her followers further by saying: “Tour dates coming soon.”
Fashion guru Victoria, also shared the clip writing, “best night ever” Happy Birthday to me, I love you all so much.”
She also seemed delighted to be back together with The Spice Girls, writing on social media, after the event she said:
“The best gift to be reunited. Thanks to all my friends and family for celebrating with me.”
As well as the fashion designer’s close friends and family, including her four children, some Hollywood power players were also present, including Tom Cruise, actress Salma Hayak and Victoria’s close friend, the actress Eva Longoria.
David Beckham’s best friend and sports agent, Dave Gardner was also present, posting snaps of him and his mates grabbing a kebab at the end of the night.
Declaring it ‘the best night ever’, Victoria had to be carried out of swanky Mayfair private members’ club Oswald’s by her husband David at 2:30am.
Her ongoing foot injury meant she had rely on crutches for her glam entrance hours earlier, but luckily David was on hand for a piggy back as the night came to a close.
