Lewis Gibson stunned by Mel B’s response to figure skating homage to Spice Girls at Milano Cortina 2026
As the excitement builds for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina 2026, Team GB’s ice dancing duo, Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, is set to dazzle audiences with a unique performance paying tribute to Spice Girls hits. With a goal to become Team GB’s first Olympic Winter Games medallists in figure skating in over three decades, Gibson and Fear are engaging fans both on and off the ice.
The last successful GB ice dancing medalists were the illustrious Torvill and Dean, who brought home bronze in Lillehammer 1994 following their legendary routine at Sarajevo 1984. In homage, Gibson and Fear aim to captivate the crowd not through classical pieces, but with a vibrant medley of iconic Spice Girls tracks during their rhythm dance. This upbeat twist promises to resonate with an array of fans, from skating enthusiasts to loyal followers of 90s pop culture.
Gibson’s ensemble will feature a dramatic cheetah print top to symbolize his admiration for Mel B, paired with sporty cargo pants that represent Mel C. Fear, on the other hand, will channel nostalgia through a Union Jack dress reminiscent of Geri Horner and playful space-bun hair to mirror Emma Bunton‘s style.
This innovative and energetic tribute is set to take place during the team event on February 6, with the ice dance competition following on February 9. The buzz around their performance escalated recently when Gibson’s playful Instagram post caught the eye of Mel B, who expressed anticipation for their Olympic appearance and suggested more “spicy routines!”
In a lighthearted turn, Gibson has also cheekily attempted to involve all the Spice Girls, hoping for extra engagement leading up to the Games. As he sends good vibes through social media, the Skating community, along with SPICE fans everywhere, watches closely as these determined ice dancers strive for success at the Milano Ice Skating Arena.
