The reunited girl band – Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel C – performed all their classic hits to a packed audience, which included Victoria’s soccer star husband David and their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
They opened the show with Spice Up Your Life, before Emma told the screaming crowd: “It’s so good to be home. We’re back together again!”
Baby Spice Emma managed to get through the whole concert, despite injuring her ankle at the girls’ Las Vegas concert last week. Although the crowd were thrilled to see all the girls on stage – the first time they had played together as a five-piece in the UK for nine years – they saved their biggest cheers of the night for Posh Spice Victoria whenever she sang a solo line.
The mother-of-three also made sure she waved to her sons, who were ecstatic to see their mother on stage.
After playing all of their UK number one singles, including Say You’ll Be There, Who Do You Think You Are and Mama, the girls ended the concert with the debut hit Wannabe before another version of Spice Up Your Life.
A galaxy of stars were there to see the girl group, including TV chef Gordon Ramsay, Rihanna, Will Young and reality TV star Danielle Lloyd. The girls play 16 more dates at The O2 before continuing their world tour in Manchester in January.
