Money men put an end to Victoria’s Spice Girls comeback

VICTORIA Beckham’s dream of making a comeback with the Spice Girls has been kiboshed by the investors behind her fashion business – because they claim it would ‘cheapen’ her brand.

Posh had been hoping to join her former bandmates for their lucrative return to the stage in an attempt to relive the happy memories she shared with them – as well as a substantial cut of the earnings. However, sources say equity firm NEO Investment Partners, who ploughed £30m into her company last November, have told her it would be counter-productive to her luxury brand, Victoria Beckham Limited. We understand her investors are nervous that a return to Spice Girl mode for Victoria, pictured, could see her ridiculed for her singing. Victoria, 44, who has admitted that she is not a talented singer, has now left the other girls irritated after having to break the news that she won’t be taking part. It’s also bad news for music mogul Simon Fuller, 58, who has been masterminding the multimillion dollar project since last year. A source revealed that Victoria was really disappointed: ‘Victoria has really happy memories of her time in the Spice Girls.’ But despite Posh’s firm refusal, sources close to the girlband say the other girls are not giving up on trying to persuade her. Good luck with that, ladies!
