Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm has spoken out after word spread that Victoria Beckham was the only Spice Girls member absent from her wedding last month.
Mel C recently made an appearance on Australia’s KIIS 1065 radio station, where she revealed that Beckham was in fact “very disappointed” that she couldn’t attend the ceremony.
She said it was a scheduling clash with her husband David Beckham’s FIFA commitments.
“So Victoria was very disappointed to not be there,” Mel C said. “She was with David in New York and it was the football final, the World Cup.”
She added that Beckham had tried to make it work but had to remain with her family while David fulfilled his role as a FIFA ambassador.
Although she missed the celebrations, Beckham still played a special part in the wedding by creating Mel C’s custom ivory wedding dress and also lent her another outfit to wear during an earlier ceremony in Australia.
“Of course she made my gorgeous dress, and she was messaging me on the day,” Mel C shared, adding that the pair had recently caught up in Ibiza before the wedding.
The singer married Chris Dingwall in England on July 18 after the couple had previously held a civil ceremony in Australia. Other Spice Girls Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell-Horner were all in attendance.
