Geri Halliwell-Horner sparked amusement on social media when her birthday tribute to fellow Spice Girl Mel B apparently included instructions to an employee named Pippa.
The singer shared a series of photos on Instagram of herself with her bandmate, real name Melanie Brown, to mark her 49th birthday.
However, her caption read: "Sent images to Pippa and this wording asked her to tweak where needed.
"Happy birthday @officialmelb! Hope you have an amazing day!"
The post was flooded with comments from fans making fun of the gaffe and expressing concern for Pippa.
Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Perez Hilton commented: "Pippa, get it sorted!"
Another follower wrote: "Sending much love to Pippa on this day, she might need a wine glass or two."
The post was eventually edited to only feature the birthday tribute.
