Mel C found herself in an awkward position during a radio interview on Heart Breakfast when host Amanda Holden broached the subject of Victoria Beckham's ongoing feud with her son Brooklyn. The conversation began with talk of a potential Spice Girls reunion before Amanda abruptly changed tack.
Amanda declared she had 'banned' discussing the Beckhams on her show, saying she was 'heartbroken for them'. Mel, who had been smiling up to that point, shook her head and frowned, replying: 'Yeah we won't be talking about that.' The tension was palpable as the subject was swiftly dropped.
The feud between Victoria and Brooklyn Beckham has been simmering for months and escalated in January when Brooklyn posted a scathing Instagram statement accusing his mother of being 'controlling' and dancing 'inappropriately on' him at his wedding. Victoria has not publicly commented, but a source told the Mirror she was 'on the floor in bits' over the incident.
Amanda quickly steered the conversation back to a possible Spice Girls reunion. Mel said she was keeping her fingers crossed, noting that Victoria missed the 2019 stadium tour. 'She has to have that experience,' Mel said. She added that the group felt closer than ever after celebrating Emma Bunton's 50th birthday together, with the four members present – Victoria, Geri Halliwell, Emma, and Mel – enjoying a nostalgic evening.
Mel expressed hope for a 30th anniversary reunion, though she admitted to feeling 'frightened' by the pressure to get it right. The recent reunion at Soho Farmhouse was also attended by All Saints' Nicole Appleton and TV star Holly Willoughby, with David Beckham posting his joy at seeing his wife with her friends.
