Mel C has broken her silence on the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour, revealing that one member still ‘needs more convincing’ to take to the stage. 

It was revealed earlier this week that the iconic girl group would be reuniting for a possible world tour to celebrate 30 years since the release of the debut single Wannabe.

It has already been said that Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, is ’90 per cent out of the running’, with the fashion designer, 51, having not joined the girls on stage since the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.

But in a new interview, Mel C, 51, shared her excitement about the tour and let slip that one other member seemingly wasn’t as enthusiastic about picking up the mic again and needed further persuasion. 

Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice shared: ‘Next year is a big year for us and we have to acknowledge it in some way.

‘So we are talking about what that’s going to look like and for me, Melanie, I know for sure, and Emma [Bunton], we’d be back on stage. But sometimes other people need a little bit more convincing.’

Amid her revelation that it was Geri Halliwell-Horner that needed convincing, this further adds to recent reports that Ginger Spice is set to meet with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller in Miami this weekend to discuss the plans. 

The singer, 52, recently remained coy about a possible reunion, saying in an interview last month: ‘I love the Spice Girls as a whole movement, the tribe of us, and the individual members.’ 

It was thought that the scandal scandal engulfing her husband Christian Horner, who accused of misconduct by a team employee, put Geri off taking part. 

But with Geri’s Red Bull F1 boss Christian gearing up for the latest race in the calendar and with Simon reportedly a racing fan with an invite from Red Bull to attend, it would be the perfect opportunity for the two to chat.

Meanwhile, discussing the prospect of all five girls being on stage together for the first time since 2012, Mel added: ‘It would be the best thing ever, ever, ever. And sometimes it feels like a duty to the world.

‘When we did the shows in 2019, it brought so much joy to so many people. Not everybody likes the Spice Girls but loads of people do.

‘We’re living in this weird world right now. There’s so much negativity and mad s**t going on. Let’s all spice up our lives.’

Meanwhile, Mel B joked that any important details regarding the tour won’t be shared with Mel B as ‘she can’t keep her mouth shut.’
