Following the game, Geri posted a couple of pitch-side snaps and tagged the Lionesses. The 52-year-old shared a cuddle with her mum, Ana, in the second of the two.

According to The Sun, Geri, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton were approached by Left Bank Pictures about a TV series.
The company, which previously worked on The Crown, hoped to enter negotiations before Geri reportedly objected. Without the green light from all five band members, the project was shut down.

“There is a lot being written about different things, but there are absolutely no plans to do a family documentary,” he said. “Netflix do enough, and you see enough of the behind-the-scenes on that. So where that report has come from, I have absolutely no idea.”

In the years since the Spice Girls disbanded, Geri has remained on good terms with Mel B, Mel C, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton.
Back in April, fans were delighted after the five of them returned to the stage at Oswald’s club in Mayfair. Reuniting for Victoria’s 50th birthday celebrations, the former girlband danced to their classic hit, Stop, with David Beckham sharing highlights from the evening.
More recently, Geri penned a sweet post to Mel B on Instagram. Sharing a selection of throwbacks from their Spice Girls days, the mum-of-two wrote: “Happy birthday @officialmelb! Hope you have an amazing day!”
