Mel B reveals major Spice Girls reunion update about Victoria Beckham
MEL B has sensationally revealed Victoria Beckham will re-join the Spice Girls for a mystery project.
The singer, 47, claimed an exciting announcement is just around the corner, news which is set to delight Spice Girls fans around the globe.
Although she kept schtum on specifics, Mel promised all five girls will unite professionally for the first time in 11 years, following their iconic performance at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012.
The fashion designer, 49, notably chose not to join her fellow Wannabe hitmakers for their 2019 UK stadium tour, claiming she had been too busy with her namesake clothing brand.
But now the timing is perfect, according to Mel, and Victoria’s agreed to get behind the microphone once more.
She exclusively told The Sun: “My theory is that if I say it enough, it will happen. But actually we are planning on releasing a statement.

“What that is, I can’t say right now because we’re just finishing off perfecting what we’re going to be doing together, all five of us, but it’s going to be something that the fans are really going to love.”
When asked how they persuaded Victoria to come back, she replied, “Well, it’s not even about convincing her. I mean she dressed me and my mum for when I got my MBE, so we’ve kind of always been in contact.
“It’s not like none of us are speaking together, we’ve all got a group WhatsApp, but it’s just about timing.
“She was really busy doing her fashion line and supporting David with his moves and his career and obviously she’s got a bunch of kids so it’s just about finding the right time.
“And we’ve managed to do that so there should be an announcement pretty soon.”
The former X Factor judge hit the road with Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner four years ago as part of a 13-date UK tour.
Victoria told Vogue Germany at the time: “It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says: ‘You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to.’
“I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company. I’m 45 now and very happy to be the woman I am.”
It follows reports all five Spice Girls could reunite for a headlining Glastonbury slot, and it was more recently revealed they’d turned down the chance to perform at King Charles III’s Coronation concert last month.
