It was a frosty reunion for two members of the Spice Girls at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party on the weekend, insiders have claimed.
The singers all attended Posh Spice’s birthday bash at Oswald’s private members’ club in Mayfair, London, on Saturday.

But one detail in a group photo shared by Beckham on Instagram had fans sitting up and taking notice.
Geri Halliwell, AKA Ginger Spice, and Mel B, AKA Scary Spice, were placed as far apart as possible for a reason, sources claim.
It was the first time the pair had seen each other since Mel B, 48, claimed Geri, 51, had lied about her age.
“Mel tried to smooth things over with Geri at the party but it didn’t go as planned,” a source told The Sun.
“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.”

However, it seems the icy reception Geri gave Mel B later thawed out as the group was filmed performing their 1997 hit song Stop.
Attendees told The Sun that all five sat down at a table and chatted together during the night.
Mel B created waves when she told The Sun last week that Geri had been lying about her age.
“No-one knows how old Geri is,” she said.
“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 had her 50th birthday, but I don’t believe over.”
Mel B also sensationally claimed that she and Geri had once slept together.

That prompted Geri to unfollow Mel B on Instagram, but she still follows Victoria, Mel C (Sporty Spice) and Emma Bunton, AKA Baby Spice.
But Mel B is seemingly unapologetic about ribbing Geri over her age.
On her own Instagram, she joked about celebrating Victoria Beckham’s “60th birthday” at Saturday’s bash.
The party was attended by a long celebrity list that included Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and singer Marc Antony.
The birthday girl said it had been “the best gift” to be reunited with the other Spice Girls for her big day.
“Thank you to all my friends and family for celebrating with me,” she wrote.
“Kisses! xxx.”

Fans loved seeing the former Fab Five posing together again.
“I don’t know if I will ever recover from this,” one follower wrote.
“Thank you, Victoria. You have no idea how much this means to the fans,” said another.
“Viva forever.”
“The power of five!” wrote another.
