MOST go out of their way to appear scary at Halloween parties, but not Melanie Brown.

The former Spice Girl made herself look Posh as she took the mickey out of ex-bandmate Victoria Beckham.

It seems Mel B Scary Spice wanted to take a sarcastic swipe at Mrs Beckham for reportedly snubbing a planned reunion of the ’90s girl band.

The America’s Got Talent judge, 43, attended Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party in New York on Wednesday night in a Victoria Beckham mask and black mini-dress. She carried an axe-shaped sign reading “No I am not going on tour”.

Her friend Gary Madatyan dressed as David Beckham in a Real Madrid shirt.

To make sure her message got across, Brown posted photograph­s of her outfit on social media.

In September, she reassured fans that a tour would happen with or without 44-year-old Victoria, who has said in the past she will not tour again.

She later posted a picture of herself chatting on Facetime to bandmates Baby, Sporty and Ginger – Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Horner.

The group last performed together in 2012, at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. | 3 bay leaves

2 tbsp brown sugar Salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup of fresh cream

Method

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, bay leaves, vinegar, paprika, peri-peri, garlic and sugar.

Allow chicken pieces to marinade for at least two hours.

Once the coals are ready place the chicken onto the centre of the grill. Close lid, open the air vents.

Cook for 15 minutes, turn the chicken and baste with the marinade. Cook for another 15 minutes. Check to see if the chicken is cooked by cutting a slit into the chicken with a sharp knife.

Remember chicken needs to cook over a low heat to remain tender and juicy.

Reduce the remaining marinade in a frying pan over a high heat setting. Once the sauce has reduced add the cream and stir with a wooden spoon. This will allow for the marinade to turn into a tasty peri-peri sauce to drizzle over your chicken before serving.
