Mel B wears her trademark leopard print as she’s spotted just 24-hours ahead of lavish wedding to Rory McPhee at St Paul’s Cathedral – after it was revealed which Spice Girls WON’T be attending

Mel B was spotted outside her luxury London hotel on Friday, just 24-hours ahead of her lavish wedding to Rory McPhee at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Scary Spice, 50, who is due to tie the knot on Saturday at 2pm, wore her trademark leopard print while running final errands before the big day. 

The Bride-to-be donned leopard print leggings and crocs and even held a matching water bottle while chatting with members of her wedding party.

She completed the look with a cream knitted vest and shielded her famous features beneath a baseball cap and shades. 

It comes after The Daily Mail exclusively revealed earlier this week that neither Victoria or Geri Halliwell would be at fellow Spice Girls’ nuptials.

There is also a suggestion that another member of the band, either Emma Bunton or Melanie Chisholm, are also not going.

Sources said Victoria will be abroad, with one explaining: ‘Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can’t be there. 

‘She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It’s a real shame.

‘There is no issue between them, they haven’t fallen out. It’s just one of those things.’

As for Geri, she and Mel have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity.

The two women went to war after Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan’s Life Stories programme.

Geri was deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised.

Sources also said that Geri’s husband Christian Horner was ‘mortified’ about Mel’s claims.

Neither Victoria or Geri attended Mel’s 50th birthday in Leeds back in May. Just Emma and Mel C were in attendance.

On Thursday Victoria shared a gushing wedding tribute to her pal and despite being out of the country was  keen to show that Mel was still in her thoughts. 

Posh Spice posted a photograph of herself and Mel looking glamorous together at a recent event as she sent her well-wishes to the happy couple.

She gushed in a caption: ‘Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx’

It is the third time that Mel will say ‘I do’ after first marrying Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998. 

For her big day, Mel wore a Vegas showgirl-style feathered headdress with a white and gold dress.

And when she wed Stephen Belafonte in 2007, they eloped to Las Vegas before holding a vow renewal in Egypt the following year.

Mel and Stephen separated in 2016 when she accused him of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied.

His lawyers said that during the marriage they spent her £50million fortune.

Mel grew close to Rory after the breakdown of her marriage to Stephen. 

Last year, she said: ‘He’s a family friend, great hairdresser… when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments…

‘And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.’

Mel is able to marry him at St Paul's Cathedral (pictured) because of her OBE, which she got in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women, especially Woman's Aid.

Mel B celebrated her upcoming wedding with a sun-soaked hen party in Tunisia, featuring leopard-print bikinis, a choreographed dance routine, and a ‘Zen party’. 

Her daughter Phoenix and 35 friends joined in the festivities, which included a lavish menu and dancing by the ocean. 

The hen party also included a leopard print themed night, as well as a belly dancing class.
