It seems tales of a Spice Girls reunion are as old as time itself but Mel B has pretty much confirmed the ladies are planning to get back together next year.
The girl group last performed at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and haven’t toured together since 2008.
However, to celebrate 20 years since the release of their debut single Wannabe, Scary Spice insists there is something in the pipeline as a treat for fans.
When asked about rumours of a reunion at the recording of Alan Carr’s New Year’s Specstacular, she joked: “I think I’m the one putting all the rumours out there.
“To be serious,” she continued. “It is our twentieth anniversary this year and it would be rude not to celebrate so hopefully something will happen pretty soon.”
When pressed by funnyman Alan to reveal more details, she shouted: “I can’t tell you what it is yet!”
Just last week it was reported plans by the five girls – Mel, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton – had been thrown into doubt as Mel C did not want to work without Victoria, who has other commitments.
A source told The Sun: “To fulfil this Mel believes the band has to be the original five-piece and Victoria needs to be involved.”
Posh Spice has previously said she wishes her former bandmates luck but she is content working on her fashion empire.
Maybe Victoria’s changed her mind and said she’ll always be there (see what we did there? Tee hee).
