The Spice Girl, 43, underwent a three-hour operation after “severing her hand” on some glass this month.
And, after being treated in hospital where she was visited by four of her famous bandmates – Geri Horner, 46, Emma Bunton, 42, and Melanie Chisholm, 44 – Mel headed to her hometown of Leeds where she enjoyed a Sunday roast at her sister Danielle Brown’s house.
Sharing a picture of herself sat at the dining table, with Danielle and their mother Andrea seated opposite, the singer wrote on Instagram: “Can’t beat a Sunday roast at ya sisters house right!!
“Thankyou @missdaniellebrown for the Best Sunday dinner EVERrrrrr!! #homecooking #Sunday #familyfirst Leeds Leeds Leeds #yorkshirepudding #roastpotatoes #stuffing.”
In another snap, the star could be seen waving her bandaged hand in the air as she sat next to her mum and her aunt.
She captioned the image: “Yippppeee spending time with my mummy @pandy397 and my auntie die @dizzydicooke Leeds Leeds Leeds #familyfirst #healing #sisters.”
Mel was previously estranged from her mother and sister after her former marriage and divorce battle from Stephen Belafonte caused numerous family rows, with Danielle previously claiming she and her family had not seen the pop star for a decade.
Danielle had previously tried to mend the rift with her talent show judge sister while her mother made her dislike of Mel’s ex Stephen clear on social media.
Andrea had so little contact with her daughter that in 2011 she found out Mel had fallen pregnant and given birth to her daughter Madison, the child she shares with Stephen, on Twitter.
She previously said: “I only found out she was pregnant because of Twitter and I found out on Twitter that she’d had the baby too.”
And on not being able to get to know her granddaughters when they were younger, Andrea added: “Half of my family is missing to me.
“Every day I pine for Mel, Phoenix and Angel.”
In 2014 Andrea and Danielle took to Twitter to plead for information after Mel was rushed to hospital ahead of The X Factor final, on which she was a panellist.
Danielle tweeted: “This is ridiculous and cruel!!! Evil! How can NO one tell me and my family where my sister is and what is going on?????
“Just a simple call to say she is going to be ok is all it takes!!!!”
Actress Danielle accused Stephen of lying to her family at the time, writing: “STOP @stephenthinks1 with your evil lies!! You told me and my mum yesterday she is fine and not in hospital @SimonCowell just doing press!
“I am beyond desperate and this should be a private family matter!! But we don’t know what else to do. If anyone at all can help then please do!”
Mel returned to The X Factor for the last live episode days later but was not wearing her wedding ring and viewers grew concerned after they noticed she had marks on her body.
After seeing tweets from the television audience, Stephen tweeted: “I don’t usually respond to Twitter messages but I will respond to commend of hitting my wife which I think are quite disgusting and untrue!
“Mel was very ill. A bunch of doctors helped her get better. If fans can’t relax before being negative, they are not real fans @OfficialMelB.”
However, Mel has since revealed she was covered in bruises after trying to break through a door following a suicide attempt when she became desperately unhappy in her rocky marriage.
In her book Brutally Honest, Mel recounted swallowing hundreds of pills, writing: “Suicide was not the answer. I had to make my life count. I had to get to a hospital. I had to get those pills out of my stomach before anything happened.
“My head was spinning. All I thought was that I needed to get out of the room but for some reason the door was jammed.
“I can’t clearly remember what happened next but I remember throwing myself at the door, crashing my full weight against it.
“Those bruises on my face and shoulder everyone saw at The X Factor final three days later — most of them were caused by those moments trapped in that doorway.”
