THE Spice Girls broke down in tears when Mel B told them she was engaged.
The Sun told how the singer, 47, is due to marry her boyfriend of three years – Rory McPhee.
Speaking about the moment she told her bandmates, Mel told Hello!: “Emma [Bunton] cried, so did Mel C. All of them were delighted for us and said, ‘We love Rory, he’s amazing’ and they’ve all sent congratulations cards.
“I do care about their opinion and it’s really special to me that they like Rory so much, because they’ve never liked any of my boyfriends and they’ve been quite clear about that.
“They were actually pushing me towards Rory for ages before the two of us became romantic, but I’d say to them, ‘It’s not like that; he’s just a really good friend who makes me feel safe’.”
