Mel C, Geri clash over babies

Rehearsals for the Spice Girls reunion tour have been marred by rows between Geri Halliwell and Melanie C, according to a report.

Melanie, who recently claimed that she would not bring her children on the tour with her if she was a mother, is believed to have been complaining about "the babies everywhere".

An insider told the Daily Mail: "Mel C and Geri are very, very different people and the biggest rows have been between them.

"Mel C is completely annoyed by what she calls 'the babies everywhere', which as you can imagine does not go down well with Geri. Geri, whose daughter is now 19 months old, spends all her time babbling on about how wonderful Bluebell is and what a wonderful mother she is, and it gets on everyone's nerves."

The source added: "Mel says it's not because she doesn't have one of her own, she just thinks that the tour is the wrong place for children, and she thinks that having the creche where they are rehearsing has been a bad idea."

Emma Bunton gave birth to her son Beau in August. Melanie Brown welcomed her second daughter in April, while Victoria Beckham has three sons.
