And the finishing touches have been made to the grand cathedral, in the form of huge bouquets of white flowers at the front. 

People were seen getting the stunning blooms into position before Mel arrives for the nuptials. 

It was a hands on job, as a few gathered to help get the beautiful white flowers in place. 

Mel was spotted ahead of the ceremony donning her trademark leopard print, as she stood outside a swanky hotel in London.

Scary Spice opted for a white top and sliders, and donned large sunglasses and a cap as she chatted away and took a phone call. 

It was recently revealed that neither Victoria Beckham or Geri Horner will be among the guests when Scary Spice Mel ties the knot with Rory McPhee at St Paul’s Cathedral.

The MailOnline claims that Victoria, 51, won’t be in the country, so will miss out on the wedding.

A source said: “Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can’t be there.

“She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It’s a real shame.

“There is no issue between them, they haven’t fallen out. It’s just one of those things.”

Meanwhile Geri is said to be absent because of her tense relationship with Mel.

Victoria has shared a sweet tribute to Mel on her big day, posting photos of them together on social media. 

Posh Spice took to her Instagram stories to share a stunning snap of her and her bandmate looking all glammed up.

She added the sweet caption: “Sending love to you @officialmelb!

“@rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx.”

The wedding comes over a year after the ex-reality TV star was released from prison after becoming a convicted sex offender.

Sex offender Stephen Bear, 35, reveals he has married Brazilian girlfriend Miami, 18[/caption]

Bear was sentenced to 21 months imprisonment for sharing a sex tape of his ex-girlfriend and Love Island star Georgia Harrison.

But the former star has now announced the news of his marriage in a series of Instagram posts.

Bear wore a pink suit for the ceremony and posted to Instagram a photo of the couple, writing: “MY WEDDING . MR AND MRS BEAR.”

The Celebrity Big Brother winner could be seen in one video picking up his new bride, who donned a lacy white gown.

He was also filmed singing Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You as he spun Miami around on the dancefloor. 

It is not known exactly when the couple met.

However, in January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil with his new girlfriend, boasting: ‘The police can’t catch me now.’

In a grim video shared from the beach, he bragged: “Life’s good. I thought I’d come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all. 

“Stay true, because this year I’m fully active, I’m off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I’m in Brazil.

“They can’t catch me now. Catch me if you can.”

Swigging a beer, he added: “I’m just chilling out, licence is finished, police is finished. I can be completely left alone, ready to enjoy my life now. All my conditions are just lifted.

“Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space.”

Bear was caged for 21 months in March 2023 after being found guilty of voyeurism and sharing the explicit footage without consent.

He was released from prison in January 2024 just 10 months into his sentence.

He was ordered to pay her £27k on top of the £207,000 he was told to pay Georgia in a separate civil case after leaking the video on his OnlyFans page.

The Sun later revealed he was trying to make ends meet by selling a range of tracksuits, which he bought from Temu for £11.95, and then embossed with the words “Mexican Cartel”.

POLICE were present as crowds took pictures of Liverpool star Diogo Jota’s grave after he was laid to rest alongside his brother Andre Silva.

A joint-funeral for Jota, 28, and his brother André, 25, was held at the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar church after Thursday’s tragic car crash.

Police were initially called to the cemetery due to crowds of mourners taking photos at the graveside.

After clearing the cemetery, the crowds were said to have returned moments later, according to reporters on the ground.

Family, friends and Liverpool teammates said goodbye to Jota and his brother André at their funeral in Portugal.

Liverpool stars Virgil Van Dijk and Andy Robertson led mourners with two touching wreathes emblazoned with Diogo’s number 20 and André’s number 30.

Portugal’s head coach Roberto Martinez spoke after the ceremony and described how the days since their tragic deaths had been “really, really sad” but the funeral today showed “we are a very large, close family”.

Martinez went on to say it was “essential” for Portugal to show “we are together,” adding the brothers’ spirits will be “with us forever”.

He said: “So thank you very much for your messages and for your support and everything that we receive [from] all over the world.

“Today we are all one football family.”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot was there with his players – including Reds stars Joe Gomez, Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister.

Former teammates Jordan Henderson and James Milner were also in attendance.

Some of Jota’s international teammates present at the ceremony were Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Chelsea‘s Joao Felix and Manchester City‘s Bernardo Silva.

A huge crowd of mourners gathered outside the church and showed support for the brothers’ friends, family, coaches and teammates as they walked in procession.

The service was private but a live audio feed was played outside the church.

Addressing Jota’s children, who were not at the service, as well as their mother and grandparents, the Gondomar priest was heard saying in the broadcast: “There are no words, but there are feelings.

“We also suffer a lot and we are with you emotionally.”

Jota, along with brother André, died when his hired acid green £210,000 Lamborghini supercar suffered a suspected tyre blowout and crashed in a fireball on the A52 highway in Zamora province, northern Spain.

The brothers were en route to the Spanish port city of Santander to catch a ferry to the UK after the Portugal star was urged not to travel by plane following lung surgery.

Tributes have flooded in since the horrific news, including from Jota’s Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and current Reds boss Arne Slot.

The actor’s grieving family revealed he had died following a “private battle” with cancer.

It was not publicly known that the actor, best known for his starring roles on Nip/Tuck, Fantastic Four, Charmed and FBI: Most Wanted, was sick prior to his death. 

Julian leaves behind his only daughter, Madison, 25, who he shares with ex wife Brooke Burns.

The pair split just a year after she was born.

Now the daddy-daughter’s last social media engagement has come to light after Madison bagged a role as a yoga teacher in Miami.

In a proud grid post in March, she wrote: “Taught my first yoga class today. I guess dreams do come true.”

The Home and Away alum then replied: “You’re awesome!”

She then wrote: “No YOU’RE awesome!”

The pair often interacted online, with previous touching chat centred on the death of her dog two years ago.

SAD LOSS

Julian was best known for his starring roles on Nip/Tuck, Fantastic Four, Charmed and FBI: Most Wanted.

On Friday, Julian’s family announced that he passed away on Wednesday, July 2nd, in Clearwater, Florida, after a private cancer battle. 

His wife, Kelly McMahon, said in a statement: “With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.

“Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. 

“His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy.”

Kelly concluded in the heartfelt message she first shared with Deadline: “And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”

Julian and his third wife, Kelly, tied the knot in 2014 and shared no kids together – although he has a daughter from his second marriage.

He was married to Baywatch star Brooke from 1999 until 2001 and welcomed daughter Madison McMahon in 2000.

His first marriage was to singer and actress Dannii Minogue, sister of Kylie Minogue, whom he wed in 1994 after meeting on the set of their film, Home and Away, in 1991.

Their marriage lasted just a year and a half as he resided in LA to pursue his acting career while she was living in England for music.

HIS FINAL POST

Julian’s last social media post celebrated what would end up being his final film.

The actor boasted about his psychological thriller, The Surfer, which co-starred Nicolas Cage and was released earlier this year.

He posted a series of promos for the movie after taking a year-long break from Instagram.

The Portugal international and his brother Andre Silva died following a car crash in Spain.

Portuguese tennis star Nuno Borges wore a black ribbon in tribute to the 28-year-old forward.

Players got permission from Wimbledon chiefs to pay their respects on court.

Borges and compatriot doubles player Francisco Cabral both wore the ribbons.

Karen Khachanov beat Borges in a five-set thriller yesterday, though he is back on court alongside American Marcos Giron in the doubles this afternoon.

Jota was laid to rest at a heart-wrenching funeral service on Saturday.
