Posh to get £3M for not singing MINIMAL’ ROLE IN SPICE GIRLS REUNION
VICTORIA Beckham could pocket £3million from the Spice Girls reunion without singing a note.
Posh, 43, now a fashion designer, has reportedly pulled out of the band’s comeback plans, putting the project at risk.
But she is still in line to boost her bank balance through copyrights, endorsements and promotional plans if her pals press on.
A source said: “Victoria doesn’t want to tour as her fashion business is going from strength to strength.
“But she will make a lot of money even if she doesn’t take part in the reunion. It’s ruffled feathers as she is still set to benefit hugely without having to do much. At the moment she wants minimal involvement.”
Mel C hit out at her last week, saying: “Victoria has been quite vocal, it’s really not something she wants to do at this time. I think it has to be all five, so it’s tricky.”
Committed
And Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller has said “four not five” girls were on board.
The source said: “Victoria is adamant she is committed to her business, so Simon is seeing how he can get her on board without her committing to a major world tour.”
Last week Mel, 44, confirmed there are “no plans” for them to re-form yet.
She said: “It’s very early stages, we’re not talking about new music or going out on the road together at this time. It was just getting together to reignite all the things that we have had together and to work with Simon.”
Excitement about a reunion has been building since a photo of all five Spice Girls – Mel C, Victoria , Emma Bunton, 42, Mel B, 42, and Geri Horner, 45 – appeared online last month. It was taken at Geri’s house and was the first time they had all been together since the 2012 Olympics.
They l ater confirmed they are planning projects. Mel recently denied they would perform at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May. GIRLS Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has hinted the girl band could get back together – but not for five more years.
Cheryl Tweedy blocked a 15th anniversary reunion this year calling it “all a bit cringe”.
But Kimberley said: “I wouldn’t rule it out, absolutely not. It may be something that will happen in the future – maybe for the 20th. If the planets collided and it was the right time, then definitely.”
Kimberley, Cheryl, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding, and Nadine Coyle f ormed on I TV t alent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. They had 20 Top 10 hits – including Sound of the Underground and Love Machine – before splitting in 2013. Kimberley – judging Good Morning Britain’s Sing It To Win It – said: “It was an amazing time.”
