She’s already deep in conflict with eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola – and now Victoria Beckham is feuding in the Spice Girls universe as well.
Simon Fuller – the man who managed the band, created Brand Beckham and helped found Victoria’s fashion empire – is keen to organise a tour to mark the group’s 30th anniversary next year.
He has the support of Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton, and has spent more than a year trying to win Geri Halliwell-Horner round to the idea.
A source told The Mail’s Alison Boshoff: ‘Geri isn’t interested in stepping foot on a stage again.’
So the plan she agreed to was for Abba-style avatars of the girls, which would ‘perform’ in concert.

Victoria Beckham is embroiled in another feud an has been left out of the Spice Girls avatar plan while Geri Halliwell-Horner has confirmed she will NOT be returning to the stage

But Victoria is being left out of discussions and will not be part of the virtual line-up.
A source said: ‘Simon Fuller planning a tour has caused yet another schism. Victoria is f****d off that they have gone with him and there is no way that she will be a part of it.
‘The bad feeling seems to go back to her and David having to spend millions on buying him out of Beckham Brand Holdings. He still has a stake and board seat on her fashion business. There is resentment there.
‘Geri wants to do the avatars idea. She isn’t interested in coming back and doing a tour. She doesn’t need to. This is the one idea which Simon has had which has tempted her.’
The source added: ‘Simon Fuller is the only person who could get Geri to rejoin the Spice Girls, but he is the one person in the world who could never persuade Victoria.’
No wonder only Mel C and Emma Bunton went to Mel B’s 50th birthday celebrations in Leeds last weekend.
All of the ‘girls’ showed up for Victoria’s 50th birthday last year, but it seems that they are in separate camps once again.
In fact, there has not yet been a meeting to discuss plans with Geri and the other Spice Girls in the same room because ‘at any given point half of them aren’t speaking to the other half’.
But Victoria is being left out of discussions and will not be part of the virtual line-up (pictured Emma Bunton, Mel C, Victoria Adams, Geri Halliwell and Mel B L-R in 1996)

The source insisted: ‘There will be a Spice Girls reunion and all the details are now being debated by everyone apart from Victoria.
‘He [Fuller] has always got on with Geri; and he has been getting alongside her for the past year. He flatters her. He has been playing the long game cleverly and has pulled it off.
‘Geri is now the power broker.’
Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton would all sooner perform in person. It’s pretty much guaranteed big bucks and they all enjoyed their limited run of dates in 2019.
In fairness to Victoria, the main reason she is not rejoining the gang is because she is focused on her business and content to leave her pop career as a fond memory.
