The girl group signed to Virgin Records in 1995 and later celebrated at a posh restaurant where Victoria, 48, ended up falling asleep over her dinner.

Bad: Victoria Beckham threw her knives out of the taxi window after signing the Spice Girls record deal, her bandmate Mel C claimed (pictured in 1997) He said: “By the time we arrived the taxi was a wreck. there was lipstick, champagne and flowers everywhere. Somehow, Victoria’s knives ended up being thrown out the window…” Mel added that the Spice Girls’ manager Simon Fuller had to pay the taxi driver more than £50 for the mess they caused as well as compensation for their “terrible behaviour”. Mel wrote: “We steamed into this incredibly stylish restaurant, reeking of booze and cigarettes, and collapsed onto the table. The other patrons were not amused. “At this point, Victoria was so drunk that she pretty much fell asleep face down in her dinner. She was still idle!’ Success: The girl group signed to Virgin Records in 1995 and later celebrated at a fancy restaurant where Victoria, 48, ended up falling asleep at dinner (pictured in 1996) Mel is also hoping for another Spice Girls reunion in the book so she can perform again with her bandmates Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Mel B. Elsewhere in the memoir, Mel writes about how she was left heartbroken by Robbie Williams after he “treated her badly”.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast at Glastonbury, Sporty Spice described playing the festival as a five-piece as “the dream”. He said: “It’s the dream, the absolute dream, we’d love to do it. The girls and I, we’ve talked about it, it’s the biggest stage in the world, we have the best festival in the world here.” The band, who parted ways in 2000 before briefly reuniting in 2007, reunited for a tour in 2019 – but for the first time, it was a quartet as Victoria chose not to return. Mel wrote: “We steamed into this incredibly stylish restaurant, reeking of booze and cigarettes, and collapsed onto the table. The other patrons were not amused”
