Songstress Melanie C has opened up about the relationship between the members of the Spice Girls and revealed that when they were together as a group they used to fight a lot.

Speaking to Heat magazine, she explained that although none of the clashes were physical she feels as though a lot of their arguments left them with “mental scars”:

“It hardly ever got physical actually. Me and Melanie B used to get a bit pushy-shovey but we’re talking years ago.”

“We’ve had some humdinger rows and some raised voices, but I don’t think anythings ever been thrown – no injuries inflicted on each other – only mental scars!”

She added that despite everything they’ve been through they’re now great friends and enjoy being together: “No matter what’s happened in the past, we love and accept each other. I always laugh most when I’m around them.”

Melanie C has revealed that she would love to work with the Spice Girls again.

The 38-year-old, who performed with the rest of the girls at the Olympic closing ceremony, told the Daily Star that she hasn’t ruled out returning to the places they didn’t visit on their 2007 reunion tour:

“I never thought we’d perform ­together again the first time when we reunited in 2007 and I think we toured for about six months.

“Unfortunately we didn’t get to Australia, we didn’t get to South America…but you never know. I’d love to work with the girls again, it’s always such an event.”

However, the Superstar judge, who releases new album, ‘Stages,’ later this month, admitted that she still finds it odd when she does reunite with her former bandmates:

“It is odd being back ­together. It’s a bit surreal because we’re still friends and we still see each other but it’s rare that all five of us get together and when we do it’s in front of the world, so it’s weird.”

Speaking about her outfits, Victoria Beckham said that it will be “fantastic” to raise money for charity. She said:

“I’ve got all my costumes still. I can’t wait for Harper to grow a little so she can have some. But the rest I’d like to put up for charity, I think it would be a fantastic thing to do. Everything we did at the time was great, it really was great. We watched a little video Geri put together and I think we were nearly all brought to tears.”
