Speaking to the crowd at the start of their first show of 2008 at the O2 Arena, Geri crowed: "Mel B got so drunk she fell down a flight of stairs and twisted her ankle, so she won't be busting the moves tonight."
One fan said: "Scary was certainly much more reserved. It was clear the injury was affecting her and she couldn't gyrate around the stage like normal."
Scary Spice is the second Spice Girl to sprain her ankle, Baby Spice sprained her ankle during a sober show in Vegas last month. Hopefully the other 3 girls will make it through the reunion tour unharmed!
