Spice Girls - Reports of arguments

The reformed five-piece were shooting their first video together in seven years at Pinewood Studios for their new single 'Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)'.

But it has been claimed that Emma Bunton cried over the late running of the scenes, Melanie Brown complained about jet lag and Geri Halliwell held up filming by meditating.

Meanwhile Victoria Beckham allegedly demanded that an assistant constantly give her fruit and champagne and even Mel C was reportedly finding the shoot difficult and wanted to go home as soon as she could.

A source told The Sun: "Things were very delayed. The director was tearing his hair out and threatened to walk.

"The girls were so tired and Emma was crying as the shoot just went on and on. Geri kept slowing things down by meditating and doing strange spiritual stuff.

The Spice Girls' new single is this year's Children in Need song and is due for release on 16 November.
