Geri Halliwell has been mocked by fans who were left shocked after the Spice Girl made an embarrassing mistake while posting a birthday message to Mel B . In celebration of Melanie Brown’s 49th birthday, Geri shared a throwback photo of herself with her bandmate. The photos were sweet and some showed the pair in ’90s clothing at the height of their pop careers.
While the images were adorable, the caption was a little less charming as the singer accidentally posted a message to her publicist Pippa Beng. The caption read: ‘Sent images to Pippa and this wording asked her to tweak where needed. Happy Birthday @officialmelb ! Hope you have an amazing day!’ This was clearly a mistake, and it was suggested that the star didn’t actually share the post herself, which fans were not impressed by.
‘Confirmation celebs don’t even post legit birthday messages 😂,’ commented @alisa20. ‘What a lovely genuine heartfelt message from yourself,’ said @mikeytomsmith sarcastically. The blunder was live on social media for 24 minutes before the post was edited and the caption changed to just a birthday greeting.
But the edit was too late and fans were quick to poke fun at this hilarious blunder, with many jumping to defend Pippa, who they believed to be the real person behind the post. ‘Sending much love to Pippa on this day, she might need a wine glass or two,’ commented @bringback00s. ‘How did that take 24 minutes to be put right 🤣🙃 Oh Pippa, you’ve had a mare .
