Mel C ‘desperate to be back on stage’ with Spice Girls member Emma Bunton

Melanie C has said she’s “looking forward to getting back on stage” with her Spice Girl co-star as she celebrates Emma Bunton’s 47th birthday.

The 49-year-old singer, whose real name is Melanie Chisholm, shared a series of snaps of the couple on Instagram to mark the occasion.

Alongside the post, she wrote: “Happy birthday @emmaleebunton. I love you more than words can say. I long to be back on stage with my kids!

“Let’s hope we don’t have to wait much longer! Have the best day.

Bunton bandmates just replied in the comments: “I love you more!!”

All members of the girl group except Victoria Beckham reunited in 2019 on tour in the UK and Ireland.

Chisholm recently told The Times that the other Spice Girls – Melanie Brown, Geri Horner and Bunton – “would love to get back on stage” for another reunion but they need to navigate “life, work , everyone’s family”.

When asked about fashion designer Beckham, she said: “It would be the ultimate dream. The door is always open for Victoria, we would love to see her again. We keep our fingers crossed.

The official Spice Girls account also shared a video on Instagram of Bunton performing as Baby Spice to mark the milestone.

They captioned the post: “Happy birthday @emmaleebunton!” and asked fans to share their favorite memories of the singer in the comments.
