Mel B confirms Victoria Beckham will re-join the Spice Girls for a mystery project
“All five of us!” Mel B promises Victoria Beckham will rejoin The Spice Girls for a much-anticipated reunion when they ‘finish perfecting’ a mystery project
Mel B says former bandmate Victoria Beckham will rejoin the Spice Girls for a mysterious project.
The singer, 47, claimed an exciting announcement is in the pipeline for the girl power group, but was tight-lipped on the details.
She did promise that “all five girls,” including Mel C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, will unite professionally for the first time in 11 years.
The last time the Spice Girls reunited was for an iconic performance at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
In 2019, the band went on a tour of the UK, but fashion designer Victoria, 49, specifically chose not to take part claiming she was too busy with her clothing brand.

Mel B revealed that the five Wannabe hitmakers will soon be releasing a statement about their secret project and are currently “perfecting” it.
She gushed that it’s something fans “will really love,” but declined to provide more insight.
The singer told The sun: ‘My theory is that if I say it enough times, it will happen. But actually, we plan to release a statement.
‘What that is, I can’t say right now because we’re just putting the finishing touches on perfecting what we’re going to do together, all five of us, but it’s going to be something the fans will really love.”
When asked how the girls persuaded Posh Spice to rejoin, Mel B said it wasn’t about convincing her as they’ve “more or less always been in touch.”
She added: “It’s not that none of us speak together, we all have a WhatsApp group, but it’s just about timing. She’s been really busy with her fashion line and supporting David with his moves and his career and obviously she’s got a bunch of kids so it’s all about finding the right time and we succeeded so there should be an announcement soon . ‘
It comes after Victoria was reportedly ‘ready’ to rejoin the Spice Girls for a headline performance at Glastonbury.
It was reported last year that Posh Spice would be keen to join the chart-topping pop group if they were asked to perform at the iconic British festival this summer.

Emma revealed that she and the rest of the group ‘definitely have to do it’ when asked to headline the event, held at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Speaking on Keith Lemon’s podcast Back Then When, Emma spoke about the rumors surrounding the Spice Girls’ one-off return to Glastonbury.
She said, ‘I hope so! Can I be real? Nobody asked us! I also read it this week and said “oh we asked them. We’re pretty far down”. We’ve all been on the phone as if… nobody asked us!’
Emma went on to tell Keith that she “don’t know” where the rumor came from, but “hopes” it is true and someone will be contacted soon.
She continued, “I don’t know! I think it would be fantastic. And I talked to Victoria about it too. And I think she’d be ready for Glasto.”
