Over the years the Spice Girls, who formed in 1996, have been embroiled in a number of spats.

However, despite not performing as a five piece since 2012, they have always patched things up.

This time though it looks like Emma may be holding a bit of grudge against Geri, after it was reported she had put a spanner in the works over the proposed Netflix Spice Girls biopic.

Today, it looked like Baby Spice might still be feeling a bit sour towards Ginger, as she failed to repost her birthday message.

Emma appeared to ignore Geri's post, but reposted Victoria Beckham's Mel B and Mel C's tributes.

Posh Spice posted a throwback snap of herself giving the birthday girl a piggyback with the caption: "Happy birthday @emmaleebunton!!! Kisses xxx."

Sporty posted a sweet compilation video of the pair on Instagram set to the Spice Girls hit 2 Become 1.

Writing next to it, Mel C said: "Happy Birthday to my darling @emmaleebunton hope you have the most beautiful day and a year full of wonderful opportunities, especially some we can share! Love you to pieces."

Mel B – Scary Spice – also posted a sweet snap and said: "HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY BUNTONNNN! We always have the most fun when we're together. Love youuuu."

The rumoured feud all started at the end of last year.

The Sun revealed how plans for the Spice Girls biopic were almost derailed by Geri, leaving the other women fuming.

It was then revealed how Netflix have now taken over the reins and want to release the proposed original series in 2026, the 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls’ debut single Wannabe.

A TV insider said: “Executives are keen to have all the group on board providing as much input as possible — after all they are pop royalty."

However, The Sun revealed how Netflix will go ahead with or without the band's support, if they can't all get on board.

The source added: “The project is in its very early stages so there’s plenty of time to get all five Spice Girls involved.

"But they have to work with each other, and with the producers, to make it happen.”
