Then, not missing a beat, VB herself walked into the studio, leaving Lily completely star stuck.
She immediately got up from the sofa, and the actress and Victoria both pulled the famous Spice Girls “girl power” peace sign.
Posh then pulled Lily, who is the daughter of legendary rocker Phil Collins, in for a hug as the star began to well up.
Choking back the tears, the actress looked completely shocked as she sat on the sofa next to her icon.
Lily’s eyes were glistening as though she wanted to cry as she tried to get her composure back, after meeting Victoria.
The two A-list stars clearly became friends after meeting on the chat show, because later Lily posted a hilarious video on Instagram.
In it, she was seen singing along to Wannabe, while she waited for Victoria.
But instead of stopping to talk to Lily, Posh was seen quickly walking off behind her.
Fans went wild for the clip, with one saying: “Omg this is the best! I adore both of these women so much.”
Another added: “This is just too brilliant!”
This one said: “Two icons together, what more can you want!”

BACK TO WORK
It’s been a busy year for Lily, following the birth of her first child in January.
The actress then got straight back to work in May to shoot the new series of Emily In Paris, just four months after becoming a mum.
The new series sees Lily’s leading character start a new life in Rome – but fans will have to wait to see if she returns to Paris.
The actress announced at the beginning of the year that she had welcomed a daughter called Tove with her American director husband Charlie McDowell, 42, via a surrogate.
She revealed their baby’s name in the post, penning to her 29million followers: “Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell.
“Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…”
