The Spice Girls made dreams across the world come true when they agreed to reunite for a comeback tour last year. The tour, entitled 'Spice World - 2019 UK Tour', will see Melanie Brown, Geri Horner (née Halliwell), Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm come together to perform their biggest hits for 13 dates in the UK and Ireland.

Whilst many of their biggest fans up and down the country will have bought tickets to see the show, they're now looking for people to actually take part in the show - and you can get involved!

An advert for backing dancers has just been released, with potential candidates being asked to send their CV and a named headshot to choreographer Paul Roberts, using the email address auditions@paulroberts.co.

The advert asks for people who are "self-expressive, strong, unique, diverse and intelligent," and requests that agencies do not apply - which likely means that they're looking for less well-known dancers.
