Mel B 'escapes' from the Spice Girls reunion tour

Birthday girl Mel B headed out in Manchester after celebrating her birthday at the Etihad Stadium with her fellow Spice Girls on Wednesday night.

Scary Spice Melanie Brown took out from the Spice Girls reunion tour to visit the Escape Reality experience at the Printworks.

Mel swapped her trademark leopard print for an orange boiler suit as enjoyed the interactive gaming experience with her dance troupe from the tour.

The Stop singer and her dancers braved the appropriately scary Enigmista room which sees participants take on a serial killer on the loose.

The good news is that they managed to escape from the killer's lair and Mel ,44, was freed to take to the stage again for the second Spice Girls date in the city.

The first Spice Girls show of the three-night run a took a hilarious turn as the girls sang ‘happy birthday’ to Mel, and she couldn’t resist bringing up that Ginger Spice Geri Horner had left the 90s girl band on her birthday back in 1998.

She joked "you better not leave tonight you f****** bitch" - only for a giant leopard print cake to be wheeled out for her.

The birthday surprise then as Mel and Geri hurled cake at each other, and Scary complained that Ginger had 'broken' her outfit in the play fight.

The Spice World reunion tour, featuring the girl band's greatest hits and favourite album tracks, continues in Manchester on Friday and Saturday night.
