Mel C flaunts insane abs as fans can't believe real age at star-studded birthday
Standing on stage at London's Koko club, Mel C appeared to be in her element as she performed on stage to celebrate her milestone birthday.
Wearing a black ensemble teamed with a matching leather jacket, the Spice Girl, who also went by the name of Sporty Spice, treated the audience to a number of songs, showing off her remarkable vocal ability. Showing off her trademark tattoo on her stomach, Mel also wowed the crowd with her enviable toned figure.

But it wasn't just her stellar performance that attracted the attention of her fans - her age did also, as many could not believe her age. Taking to X, also known as Twitter, one fan said: "I refuse to believe that Mel C is 50 today. In my head she's still doing backflips in tracksuits & if she was 50 that would mean I'd be turning 40 in 5 years!"
Another person said: "Mel C is 50 today I’m honestly shocked." And a third commented: "Would u believe if I say that you look and sound better at 50 than in your 20s?!" Mel first found fame as part of the Spice Girls in 1994 and the group's single Wannabe soared to No1 across 37 countries , two years later.

In 2007, they briefly reunited for a worldwide tour held at London's O2 arena which sold out within two minutes. And five years later, they performed at London's Olympic closing ceremony. And while speculation of a reunion has been rife of late, Mel teased fans with a possible reunion.
The Appleton sisters also joined Mel on stage to celebrate her milestone birthdayIn a recent interview, she said: "As we get older, the Spice Girls are learning the need to give each other space. In the ‘90s, we would go 24/7. We were young, we were ambitious, we were under a lot of pressure, we were knackered and there were flare-ups. All bands have similar stories, but as time has gone on, we just have that real respect and appreciation for each other."
She added: "Because we know without each other, we never would have achieved what we did and we wouldn’t have the lives and careers that we have now, so it’s quite beautiful.I love it when bands get back together after a break of five or 10 years because you know they probably appreciate it more than ever.”
