Blake Lively - Blake Lively's Spice Girls Dinner

Blake Lively's Spice Girls Dinner

Blake Lively fulfilled her lifelong dream of hanging out with the Spice Girls.

The 'Gossip Girl' actress was in London when the girl group - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell - went out for dinner at the same restaurant as her and Blake couldn't resist joining them.

She told Britain's Marie Claire magazine: ''I was in London and I stayed in my hotel most of the time because it was raining. But on the last night I went out for dinner. After I'd arrived, I was told a bunch of paparazzi had showed up. I thought, 'that's so weird. I've been Left Alone most of my stay - why are they bothering me now?' But then someone told me it was because Victoria Beckham was in the same restaurant.

''I was like, OK, that makes sense. She's a friend of mine and I would have said hello but I decided I didn't want to bother her. Until that person then told me that she was there with I was like, I need to say hello! So, there you have it; I got to hang out with the Spice Girls. It was my lifelong dream. That's it now. I can quit.''

Blake was so obsessed with the Spice Girls when she was younger that she even had her own version of Geri's famous Union Jack dress.

She said: ''When I was a child I probably should have been medicated about my obsession with the Spice Girls. I had the Buffalo shoes, a custom made Baby Spice necklace -when I say custom made it was made out of plastic from the local mall - and a Union Jack dress.''
