So casually Victoria Beckham was reminiscing about her days in a girl band, you know them, the Spice Girls.

It's a normal day. Then she happens to mention our beloved, all-time fave, fivesome were ALMOST named after a porn website. OMG, thank god that didn't happen!

VB admitted the group almost opted for the moniker The Spicey Girls, telling Fern Mallis at New York City's 92Y Fashion Icons event: "In the beginning, we were going to be The Spicy Girls, but then we realised there was a porn site called the Spicy Girls.

"That wouldn't have been good!" she joked.

A soppy posh spice recalled about all their nicknames at the time. The 41-year-old said: "Mel B really did dress scary, always in leopard print.

"Emma really was Baby; she always wore pigtails and those bloody awful platform shoes! But I'm still very close to all of those girls.

"I'm really proud of what I achieved with them. We were just five girls who weren't all that great individually, but together, we were pretty great!"

Our beloved Spice Girls back in the day together.

And when she was asked whether she was prepared for stardom, VB admitted: "I was never going to be a model. I studied dance until I was qualified to be a dance teacher.

"My mum said I had to have something to fall back on if it all went wrong. So if it does go wrong, I can always be a tap-dancing teacher."

The bunch clearly still hang out together. Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell recently attended David Beckham's lavish 40th birthday party in Morroco.

While Emma also went to Geri's wedding to Formula 1 boss, Christian Horner.
