A woman who was sacked from the Spice Girls in favour of Melanie C has admitted that she is shocked by the group's success.
Lianne Morgan, now 37, was originally picked for the girl band alongside Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie B and Michelle Stephenson, who would later be replaced by Baby Spice Emma Bunton.
However, she was told a month later that she was too old for the band, despite being the same age as Geri.
"It was like winning a lottery ticket and then having it taken away from me. I'm angry about the way I was treated," Lianne told the Mail On Sunday.
"I wish the girls the best of luck, but I'm still flabbergasted that they were picked in the first place when they can't sing! It's a total injustice. I'm a better singer than all of them. I don't like their new single, and I haven't bought their latest album."
However, Lianne added that she has bought tickets to the group's reunion tour and will be in the audience at the 02 Arena in London later this month.
"I thought they'd be a flash in the pan," she explained. "It just goes to show what you can achieve if you put your mind to it."
