The girls were then said to have had a play fight over the cake, with Mel later grumbling to the audience that Geri had broken her costume.
Storming the stadium in their iconic eye-catching ensembles, which saw the group change a whopping six times, the Spice Girls showcased their vocal prowess as they captivated the crowd with their chart-topping hit singles, including 2 Become 1, Wannabe and Say You'll Be There.

Back in 1998, Halliwell announced she had left the Spice Girls due to depression and differences between the group.
The first official confirmation was an announcement to the media by her solicitor on 31 May.
Her action aroused controversy and heartbreak, throwing the group into chaos as they were due to embark on a North American tour, which they eventually completed without her.
21-years on, the girls have rebuilt their friendship and led Mel's birthday tributes on Instagram.
The songstress took to Instagram to share a shot of the Leeds native performing on stage during their reunion tour.
Earlier this year the tour was believed to be hanging in the balance after Mel claimed she had sex with Geri during the height of their fame in the nineties.
The openly bisexual singer made the shock claim while filming for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in March, cheekily telling the broadcaster Geri had 'great boobs' and adding: 'It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it.'

Proving there was no bad blood between them, Geri posted a shot of the Mel B dressed in a head-turning gold jumpsuit with sheer panelling and crystal embroidery mid performance with the words 'Happy Birthday Melanie' written across it.
Captioning the shot, Geri wrote: 'Happy Birthday Melanie! Have an amazing day x' alongside two emojis.
