Mel B fuels speculation over a Spice Girls reunion with latest post
What does this mean?!
Last updated 8th Apr 2024
Over the last few months, Spice Girls singer Mel B has been teasing a reunion with all five members of the group. She's appeared on TV several times, including Loose Women, and American TV show Today with Hoda & Jenna, to say there will be very exciting news coming soon.
The singer even joined Hits Radio to tell how her aim was to get the Spice Girls back in the studio by the end of year, potentially recording new music.
Now, the singer has fuelled the reunion news even more by sharing a photo of a mural which shows four members of the group, Mel C, Emma, Mel B and Geri, alongside Harry Styles, facing backwards with his arms in the air.
The location on the Instagram post is Wembley, and Mel B captioned it: 'Wembley?? I’ll say no more 👀🤫😅'.
This latest post has understandably attracted a lot of attention, including a comment from Cara Delevingne saying: 'Please!!! I beg you!! I will literally do anything!!', another fan wrote: 'YAAAAS!! The world can’t wait anymore, we need you girls back on stage!!! ✌️🌎💃🎤'. (sic)
What has Mel B say about the Spice Girls reunion?
Earlier this year, on Loose Women, Mel B confirmed the group will reunite this year. The singer, also known as Scary Spice, revealed the exciting news, in the year the band celebrate 30 years since they formed.
Of course this isn't the first time Mel B has teased a reunion, but this time she told the panel: "We are definitely doing something... I’m probably going to get told off but I’ve said it, there we go! We are doing something this year. I’m in trouble now..."
This follows the news in the week the Spice Girls stamps were released, when Mel was talking on Today with Hoda & Jenna. The singer teased really good news for Spice Girls fans would be coming in the next few weeks, however we have not had any announcement yet.
Taking about a reunion, she said: "Yes, yes I agree (there should be one), but now we're actually going to be releasing some really good news in a few weeks. It involves all five of us."
She went on to say: "There are five of us, five diaries, we're all parents."
What did Mel B say about the Spice Girls reunion in 2023?
Back in May 2023, Mel B was asked about a comment seen on a preview of her show Queen Of The Universe, with Graham Norton. Speaking to Sky News, Mel revealed: "We are going to be doing some stuff, all five of us pretty soon, which is going to be announced.
"But yeah, I like giving a little bit of a dig to my girls - 'I'm going to replace ya' - not that I ever would or I ever could anyway."
She was then asked about a Spice Girls tour, with the singer adding: "There will be - if I've got anything to do with it."
It was 26 years ago that Geri left the Spice Girls, before the group split two years later in 2000. They later reunited briefly in 2007/2008, before all five members took to the stage at the London 2012 Olympics, which was to be their last performance as a group of five.
Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner (née Halliwell), then reunited for a huge tour in 2019, without Victoria Beckham, who was unable due to other commitments.
