Spice Girls plans global TV talent show

The Spice Girls are planning a global TV talent show. The ‘Wannabe’ hitmakers – comprising Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, and Geri Horner – recently confirmed they are reuniting to work on new projects, and it has now been claimed they will be looking to put together a new girlband with a televised audition process.

Their original manager Simon Fuller is putting together the idea for the show, and is keen to look for members in places, including the UK, US, Japan, China and Australia.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Simon has been formulating this girlband idea for over two years. He wants to create an international band.

“For example, one member will be selected from China, another from India and then someone will be from the UK.

“The plan is to bring people together and add some diversity to the charts.”

Though the Spice Girls will have input into the auditions, they won’t all be on the judging panel at the same time.

The insider explained: “Simon has formulated the idea of a TV talent show — based loosely on Take That’s Let It Shine, which featured Gary Barlow as a judge — which will have a panel that includes one or more of the girls.

“There will then be contributions from the other members depending on where it is being filmed.

“Geri has said she wouldn’t be able to commit to judging for six weeks in China but could appear in London or America.

“Meetings have taken place with Nickelodeon about the show.

“Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Emma have had experience of being on TV talent panels but this would be a first for Victoria.”

The Stop’ singers are also in negotiations for their own clothing line, which would be masterminded by Victoria.
