According to the Sun Online, she said: “It suddenly occurred to me this afternoon, I need to say something I should have said a long time ago: I’m sorry.

“I’m sorry I left. I was just being a brat. It is so good to be back with the girls that I love.”

Geri has been spreading Spice fever on a 13-date UK tour with Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C, minus Posh Spice.

Their final show was at Wembley stadium on Saturday, where they performed to thousands, including legend Adele.

Two years later, the Spice Girls went on hiatus.

Geri, who is married to Formula One boss Christian Horner, voiced her sadness that their special reunion is now over.

She shared a pic of the dismantled Spiceworld stage on Instagram and wrote: “🙁 Spiceworld – (they’re) taking it down ☹️.”
