Music icon Mel B has detailed how she has been preparing for her upcoming wedding to hairdresser Rory McPhee – who she has credited with helping her trust and love again
Mel B prepared for her upcoming wedding in style by practicing walking down the aisle and even throwing a bouquet on a US chat show appearance.
The Spice Girl, 49, told host Jimmy Fallon she will marry in St Paul’s cathedral and she the proceeded to walk down the Studio 6B “aisle” with an audience member before meeting Fallon at the ‘altar’ and kissing him. An audience member then caught her bouquet.
In real life she will wed hairdresser Rory McPhee who she has credited with helping her trust and love again after an abusive relationship with her ex. “He’s a beautiful soul,” she said, before explaining she had to go for interviews to get approval to marry at St Pauls.
She added: “My fiancé went on his bachelor party, we call it a stag do in England. His friends dressed him up as Scary Spice and put him in a leopard print onesie!”
Mel B was appearing on the show as she will again be a judge on America’s Got Talent this year. She also refused to confirm or deny whether there is still a Spice Girls reunion in the works, but she said she hopes it might happen and Victoria Beckham will design her wedding dress.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Mel said of the reunion: “I’m always the first person to say, ‘Oh, it’s going to happen. It’s going to happen,’ but, just this once, I’m not saying anything.”
Fallon excitedly replied: “That means something! I’ll take that as something.” Mel B responded: “Take it as you want to take it, Jimmy.”
The Spice Girls had enjoyed an impromptu reunion at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash last year, and Mel B admitted that she would have preferred to have come back together for the fans, rather than party guests.
She explained that the singers joined forces to perform their song ‘Mama’. “So then Mel C got up, and I was like, ‘Why we getting up, doing a free concert?’ And I was the last one going up, going, ‘Why are we doing this?’ I want to do it to the fans! That’s the most important thing.”
The five-piece girl group, Mel B, Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, and Emma Bunton, then sang their song ‘Stop,’ which was captured by David Beckham and shared on social media. “Clearly we hadn’t rehearsed in a while,” Mel B said after Fallon showed footage of the two songs. “We were a bit off key, but, you know, we blend well together,” she added.
