Mel B offers Spice Girls second chance with wedding after Geri Halliwell 'snub'
The musician, 50, tied the knot with her hairstylist partner, 37, after six years of dating, but three of her former bandmates were nowhere to be seen at the St Paul's Cathedral ceremony.
Emma Bunton looked stylish in a baby pink number for the event, while Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm shared well-wishes online as they could not be in attendance.
Geri Halliwell, meanwhile, remains radio silent online, seemingly 'snubbing' Scary Spice and her wedding day.
However, the girl group has another chance to get with their friend as she plans a 'more informal and sexy' ceremony abroad.
Speaking to The Sun, she teased the glamorous gown she had splashed out on for the occasion.
'In one incredible afternoon, I found two perfect dresses,' she revealed.
'One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer, and one stunning dramatic dress by a US designer, Justin Alexander'.
The couple tied the knot before enjoying a lavish £28,000 reception at The Shard in London.
The guest list was truly star-studded, with Katherine Ryan, Alan Carr, Gaby Roslin, Cara Delevingne, and Daisy Lowe all in attendance.
Sharing her congratulations with the couple, Victoria, 51, took to Instagram to share a throwback picture of the pair with a touching message.
'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx,' she said.
Meanwhile, Mel C, 51, said she was 'gutted' to miss out on the nuptials.
Sharing a snap from the day, she wrote on Insta to the newlyweds: 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!' More Trending
Details on why Geri, 52, opted to skip the wedding are unknown, but it has been reported that their troubled relationship over the years had something to do with it.
The former bandmates were once reportedly unable to be in the same room due to animosity between them and their tendency to fight.
When appearing on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Mel made the bombshell confession that she and Geri had an intimate relationship during the band's early days.
It's believed Geri was upset by the revelation, for which Mel never apologised. Her husband, Christian Horner, was also reportedly angered by the claims.

SO Solid Crew star Lisa Maffia has revealed that she's cleaning loos and emptying bins at the local church, 23 years after her Brit Award win. The popular hitmaker, 45, was of course part of the much-adored So Solid Crew, which consisted of a huge line-up, with the most notable being Lisa, MC Harvey, Asher D and Romeo. 5 Lisa Maffia gets stuck in to cleaning duties at her local church Credit: Instagram / @lisamaffiauk 5 The garage star is happy to hoover and clean the loos Credit: Instagram / @lisamaffiauk 5 Lisa hasn't let fame go to her head Credit: Instagram / @lisamaffiauk In October, 2001, the UK act released their first album, They Don't Know, which performed moderately well on the UK charts. But it was their breakout single 21 Seconds that would carry the band's major success throughout the year. The song went platinum within weeks, and it seemed like everything was looking up for the new group. Now, Lisa has appeared in a new video, showing herself volunteering in a role a far cry from her music career. The star is part of CityGate church, and she offers her services for the church, which can include welcoming people as they arrive, teaching or caring for kids during services, playing music or singing, managing sound, slides, or livestream, and preparing the building for services or events. Lisa appeared to be doing the latter as she shared a video of herself on social media hoovering the church and then putting bin bags into the bins. So Solid Crew's Lisa, dressed in a casual black top and trousers, also scrubbed all of the sinks in the toilets. It comes after the 45-year-old left fans doing a double take last year - with fans saying "you're ageing backwards". The singer-songwriter showed off her youthful looks as she holidayed in Dubai. Noughties garage star 45, looks like she's ageing backwards as she poses for sizzling mirror selfie in Dubai The rapper posted sizzling mirror selfies of her posing braless in an orange strappy top and a skintight silver metallic skirt.

Lisa also flashed her trim waist and toned pins in a black crop top and cream midi skirt. She simply captioned it: "Dubai outfits." Many fans raced to comment, with one writing: "Finer than wine," while a second posted: "Okay babes the fit is fitting." 5 The So Solid Crew star has graced many red carpets in her time Credit: Reuters 5 So Solid Crew's 21 Seconds is still loved to this day Credit: Getty And a third added: "Just beautiful." Lisa has paved a successful career in the showbiz industry, and in 2002, So Solid Crew went on to helm their own Channel 4 documentary called This Is So Solid, which only helped to boost their popularity with the British public. But when their sophomore album 2nd Verse hit the market in 2003, it landed at number 70 on the UK chart. It wasn't long before members such as Lisa would attempt to start a solo career away from the group, causing the group to disband. These days, she runs her own music artists booking agency and has taken part in multiple reality TV shows - including Celebrity Coach Trip, The Games and even won ITV2's CelebAir.

There's major Scottish interest in this afternoon's events on the most famous lawns in world tennis, with Cam Norrie doing battle against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court. Wimbledon is a popular spot for footballers - with Rangers hero Graeme Souness spotted in the Royal Box with his wife Karen on Saturday. Norrie too has a major football connection in the family - with his Glaswegian dad David a massive fan of the Ibrox men. Norrie was present, along with the likes of Andy Murray, when the Great Britain Davis Cup team took time out to visit Ibrox for a match. During his brilliant run at Wimbledon in 2022, Rangers publicly invited Norrie to a game at Ibrox along with his dad. Fresh Wimbledon controversy as new technology fails again after randomly calling in the middle of point as star broken Norrie replied: "Love if, definitely be up for it." He also revealed that his "diehard" Gers fan dad tried to ensure he followed in his footsteps. Norrie recalled: "When I was young, he was like, 'you have to support Rangers, you have to wear blue the majority of the time'." Norrie has, however, revealed he's a Newcastle United fan.
