Halliwell's Instagram post celebrating her fellow Spice Girl's birthday accidentally included a message to someone named 'Pippa' before it was later edited—and fans are cracking up.

Geri Halliwell took to Instagram to wish her fellow Spice Girl Mel B a happy birthday last week, but it wasn't without some hiccups.

Currently, the celebratory post is captioned:


Happy birthday @officialmelb ! Hope you have an amazing day! 🎉🥳🎁

Super sweet, right?

You may have noticed, however, that the post has been edited.

So what did it say before?

Well, thanks to some trigger-fingered fans, screenshots of the original caption were captured, and it's pretty hilarious, actually.

The birthday message to Mel B originally read:

"Sent images to Pippa and this wording asked her to tweak where needed"
"Happy birthday @officialmelb ! Hope you have an amazing day!"

In case you, too, were confused, Pippa is the name of Geri's publicist.

Oops.

While the post truly was delightful, with Halliwell paying homage to the birthday girl by way of images of Spice Girls past...

... fans in the comments couldn't resist getting in jabs about the quickly altered (~ 24 minutes according to some eagle eyes) Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V caption.

A few managed to sneak in non-Pippa-related comments to send Scary Spice some birthday love.

Well, this certainly doesn't do much to quash the rumors about a feud between Mel B and Halliwell. That and Mel B saying Halliwell is "really f**king annoying" less than two years ago...

But we hope she had a wonderful birthday, nonetheless.
