Adele, who will no doubt be sticking around to enjoy the show, also met Emma who shared a sweet selfie of the two of them and branded the pop star ‘gorgeous’ as she paid a sweet tribute ahead of the show. 

Dedicated: Earlier in the day Geri met groups of fans who had turned out in the hopes of meeting their favourite Spice Girl before the show, one fan was even so dedicated he revealed he was getting her signature tattooed on his arm

She also shared a clip of herself walking out into Wembley Stadium where she predicted: ‘There’s going to be a lot of love a lot of tears, four spice girls, 700,000 people 13 stadiums. Tonight – it’s the big one.’

All of the Spice Girls have closely documented their tour journey on their respective social media pages and kept their fans updated on what goes on behind the scenes.

Posting a snap of herself with her team on the tube, Mel joked: ‘Getting used to the London ‘tube’ life’.

Spice Girls fans were holding out hope that Victoria Beckham would join the rest of the group during their last performance at Wembley Stadium after being absent for the rest of the tour due to work commitments.

Speculation reached fever pitch just hours before their final concert in Wembley, as Mel C shared a cryptic throwback post adding further fuel to the fire.

Taking to Instagram the songstress posted a black and white of herself alongside bandmates Mel B, Geri Horner Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham in their 90s heyday, but noted that ‘five girls’ would be headlining the stadium in London.

However Victoria appeared to dash any last hopes that she will make an appearance during the last night of the tour, as she was pictured arriving at Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio’s wedding with husband David in Seville.

Earlier in the day Mel C shared a post which led to a flurry of comments from delighted fans who began to suggest that Victoria could be making a return for the final show, after pulling out of the reunion tour due to work commitments. 

In a lengthy caption Mel wrote: ‘In 1994 five girls answered an advert in The Stage newspaper for a new girl band. 25 years later, those five girls headline Wembley Stadium, for the third night in a row!

‘Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that all these years later we would be playing to sold out stadiums, performing what I believe to be the best show we’ve ever done.

‘It’s an honour and a privilege to share a stage with my fellow Spices, @therealgerihalliwell @officialmelb @emmaleebunton and the gorgeous @victoriabeckham will always be missed (hopefully someday to return)! 

The singer continued: ‘I never forget though, none of this would have been possible without you – the unbelievable fans. You have made a very normal girl feel incredibly special and I can never thank you enough for this.

‘I love you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to live this amazing life.’

Within seconds several eagle-eyed fans noted that Mel had hinted that all five girls would be taking to the stage at Wembley, sparking a social media hysteria as many claimed that this was evidence that Victoria would be rejoining the band for their last show. 

One wrote: ‘You reckon Posh is gonna make an appearance for the last show?’ while another noted: ‘Five girls healine Wembley? Posh spice is making a comeback!?’

A third also posted: ‘Maybe VB could return tonight??’ while one excited fan replied: ‘She’s gonna come on tonight!’
