Victoria Beckham took to her Instagram account on Tuesday to share a somewhat unusual Spice Girls announcement.
Posh Spice's latest update comes just hours on from her former bandmate Mel B teasing a Spice Girls reunion involving all five members is on the cards.
Victoria, 49, rose to fame in the superstar pop group in the mid-1990s alongside bandmates Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm. The five-piece became a worldwide phenomenon, scoring a string of number one singles and albums before calling it quits in 2000.
A handful of reunions followed - most notably to perform at the London Olympics in 2012. Now, to mark the girls' 30th anniversary, Royal Mail has revealed it is releasing a series of commemorative stamps to celebrate the milestone.
