'Here's to singing together forever. Happy birthday, @melaniecmusic. Love you to bits.'

Emma's video consisted of clips of her and Mel C singing together while in the band, as well behind-the-scenes footage and more recent content of the pair.

Reciprocating the love, Mel C replied: 'My darling baby [love heart] look at us and everything we have done. I love you beyond words xxxxx'.
