Why the Spice Girls kicked Mel B out of their WhatsApp chat

The Spice Girls told Mel B to “Stop” spilling the beans.

Melanie Brown admitted she has been kicked out of the girl group’s WhatsApp chat for gabbing about a potential reunion tour celebrating their 30th anniversary.

“I heard you got kicked out of the WhatsApp group?” ITV presenter Alison Hammond asked Brown on the Britain’s “This Morning” Thursday

“That always happens to me,” the singer, 48, responded, “because I say things.

“You know, I get so excited when it comes to Spice Girls, because it is 30 years. And, you know, we’ve got a lot to celebrate — the fact that we’re all still healthy and living life and all talking still.”

She added, “It’s nice, so I can’t say anything else to get myself kicked out!”

The Spice Girls, which formed in 1994, consisted of Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Brown (Scary Spice).

The group had a string of hits like “Wannabe” and “Spice Up Your Life” that made them global sensations, selling over 100 million albums before disbanding in 2000.

They briefly reunited in 2007 for a tour and again in 2012 to perform at the London Olympics.

“We are wanting to do something, and we are, but I can’t really tell you because I’ll get kicked out of the WhatsApp group again,” Brown said on “The Jonathan Ross Show” last month.

“I have to be really careful. We’re definitely doing something. I’m probably going to get told off! I’m in trouble now.”

However, Beckham, 49, threw cold water on the tour speculation earlier this week.

“We do have a group chat. I do speak to all the girls,” the fashion designer said during an interview on Radio France.

“It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate — a dinner or a lunch — and reminisce, but, yes, it will not be any more than that.”

“I’m so proud of what I achieved with the Spice Girls that now, for me, it’s about empowering people through fashion and beauty,” she shared.

“There have been lots of rumors about tours and performances, but that will not happen. But I’d love to celebrate with the girls in another way, just me and them.”

Brown is currently promoting her memoir, “Brutally Honest.”
