It's happened... Those intending to Spice up their lives by heading along to the proposed reunion tour are bound to be bitterly disappointed by the news that another member has removed herself from the line up.
There was always going to be something of a question mark (or a resounding 'not a CHANCE') over Victoria Beckham's inclusion, but now Mel C has decided against it too.
A source speaking via The Sun said: "Mel C is out of the reunion for now. She has essentially left the band to focus on a more serious music career. She loves the girls but it just didn’t feel right for her to reunite with them at the moment. She has other priorities and obviously it was a bit of a problem that Victoria made it clear she wasn’t going to be part of the reunion.”
As for Mel B, Geri and Emma - they seem to be hell bent on marking their 20th anniversary in some way, with the source adding: “Mel B and Geri in particular are still determined to mark their anniversary in some way. They are arranging a number of meetings which include the option for a tour, possibly with just the three of them or with other singers. There have even been the suggestions of a Spice Girls talent show. It would be an absolute TV sensation. Could you imagine the opportunity for a member of the public to become a Spice Girl?”
Adele would be first in line! Although that wouldn't be good news for Geri...
So, in addition to the news that there could be a(nother) talent show to source two stand in Spice Girls, there's also the nugget that Mel C is going to release more solo material. Yaaaay.
