Do the Spice girls really Wannabe reunited?

-

IT’S been 20 years since the Spice Girls’ heyday.

And now Mel B – aka Scary Spice – has hinted that the inventors of girl power are set to reunite to mark the anniversar­y.

The singer, 40, said ‘hopefully all’ of them would be celebratin­g 20 years since the release of their debut single Wannabe – which catapulted the five-piece to global stardom.

She added: ‘I think it’s our 20th year next year so we’re going to be doing something at some point with hopefully all of us.

‘There’s nothing like getting up on stage and performing live to your fans. So I’m always wanting that feeling back.’

Her comments came despite reports last summer they would reform for an internatio­nal tour without Victoria Beckham.

The Spice Girls – Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner (formerly Halliwell) and Victoria Beckham (formerly Adams) – sold more than 75million records and had nine number ones.

Known as Scary, Sporty, Baby, Ginger and Posh, their 1996 debut album Spice made them the fastest-selling British act since the Beatles. During their heyday, they were introduced to royalty, pictured with Nelson Mandela and performed with operatic heavyweigh­t Luciano Pavarotti.

Mel B is due to host Lip Sync Battle UK on Channel 5 on Friday, on which celebritie­s compete in miming to hit songs.
