Mel B claims Geri Halliwell lied about her age: ‘No one knows how old she is’

Melanie Brown has claimed fellow Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has lied about her age for years and said “no one knows how old she is”.

The 48-year-old revealed her friend always kept her passport close to her chest when on tour with the Spice Girls.

Scary Spice admitted she “doesn’t believe” Ginger Spice was born in 1972, despite her openly celebrating her 50th birthday with celebrity friends.

Speaking on Olivia Attwood’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast, she said: “No, well no one knows how old Geri is. No one’s seen her passport. I mean, I know we’ve travelled the world, but I still don’t know how old she is.”
