David Beckham’s 40th birthday celebration in Marrakesh seems to have turned into a bit of a Spice Girls reunion, at least based on the pictures he and his wife put on Instagram.

Victoria Beckham posted images today on the social network showing her with former bandmates Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton.

Becks also added to the collection of celebrity snaps on his account.

Ex-Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, food writer Tana Ramsey, and model and actress Denise Vasi are also in the pictures, which show them having what looks like a great time at some Moroccan venue.

Becks’ fashion designer and singer wife, formerly known to the world as Posh Spice, posted a picture – minus David – with the message: “Amazing evening with my girls last night x vb.”

She later posted a picture of the four Spice Girls plus Ms Longoria, with the message: “Spice Girls in Marrakech!”

Eva later put up a similar photo with the message: “I’m the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice.”

However, there were no pictures with the actual fifth Spice Girl, the X Factor judge Mel B.

Victoria had earlier used her Twitter account to hint at her husband’s birthday plans, posting a picture of a dress and even giving the event its own hashtag – #DB40.

She later posted a picture of the couple with their arms wrapped around each other standing by a plane. Her tweet said: “So excited to be celebrating David’s birthday x #DB40″

She also posted one on Instagram of the pair by the side of a small lake, writing: “Special evening with family and friends x #DB40 x”

Former England footballer Beckham shares his birthday with singer Lily Allen (30) and designer Donatella Versace (60), and now the royal baby (0) as well!

He marked turning 40 by joining Instagram yesterday and he already has 3.6 million followers.

The star posted a picture of himself lying in bed, with the caption: “Good morning and hello! It’s great to finally be on Instagram, been a long time coming but I can’t wait to start sharing all my special moments with you.

“Thank you for all your birthday messages so far. Looking forward to a great day with friends and family x.”

He later posted pictures including one of him with eldest son Brooklyn, and an old photo of himself with former Manchester United teammates including Ryan Giggs.
