Mel B and Geri resume Mama Spice duties as the group jet back to LA

Hours after bursting onto the stage for the first night of the Spice Girls comeback tour, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell switched from international pop stars to doting mothers as they left Vancouver for LA.

Scary Spice was spotted wrangling Angel Iris - her daughter to former boyfriend Eddie Murhpy - while queuing up at the airport before her flight.

She was joined by Geri Halliwell and her daughter Bluebell, who was taking baby steps through the terminal with her mother's careful guidance.

Mel B and Geri, who describes herself as a "working mother", later scooped up their daughters and joined the remaining Spice Girls as they boarded a private jet.

Victoria Beckham, who was accompanied by her husband David, is thought to have been ushered through security.

Before their first show, which received mixed reviews, Mel C said: "You know what, so much time has passed, so much water has gone under the bridge, it's just great to all be back together."

She also dismissed reports of tension between the women, saying: "I don't think we ever thought it was the four of us and Geri."

She concluded: "Us coming back together has been five individuals coming back together."

Adds Geri: "I do not have a relationship with anyone else like I do with the girls.

"It is like family - sometimes I'm sure I get on their nerves and they get on mine but I love them on such a base level."
