It comes as Mel B teased earlier this month that the five original Spice Girls will hit the road to tour once again - and says fans will know more in a few short weeks time.
The news was revealed on Friday's Good Morning Britain by presenter Richard Arnold (ITV)The singer rocketed to international fame in 1996 when, along with Emma Bunton, 47, Mel C, 49, Geri Horner, 51, and 49-year-old Victoria Beckham, the Spice Girls released their debut single Wannabe. The band was rocked in 1998 when Geri quit and the group ultimately disbanded two years later.
However, the ladies reformed in 2007 to embark on a reunion tour - with all five taking part - and they later performed as a five at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. But since then, the full five have failed to tour together - as Victoria opts to focus on her fashion label instead.
Now Mel has teased that all five ladies are planning to take to the stage to perform again - as she along with Emma, Mel C and Geri enjoyed success in 2019 with a tour without Posh Spice involved.
Opening up to American feel-good morning radio show Today with Hoda & Jenna, the singer known as Scary Spice declared: "Well, I've been saying this forever, but now we're actually going to be releasing some really good news in about a few weeks that involves all five of us."
