All five Spice Girls are set to discuss an upcoming reunion.
Melanie C has confirmed that as the 30th anniversary of their debut single Wannabe rapidly approaches, the music icons are joining forces to discuss how to celebrate. And it appears that even Victoria Beckham, who in 2018 confirmed she wouldn't be joining the band on stage for their 2019 stadium tour is also open to discussions.
Next year, the group will celebrate three decades since they burst onto the music scene and changed history by becoming one of the biggest selling girl-groups of all time. Since their decision to disband in 2000, they have reunited on several occasions – including in 2007, 2012 for the London Olympic Games and in 2018 to tour across the UK.
But now, Melanie, 51, has said they will definitely be discussing ways to celebrate their achievements. In a new interview, Melanie, from Whiston, Merseyside, mega-star revealed "it's time" for the group to return to the music scene. She said: "There has to be something befitting of 30 years since Wannabe. Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl."

We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed. I think me and Mel B are probably going to be going in there all guns blazing. Come on! It's time!"
Reports previously claimed that all five members were discussing a new version of their Spice World movie – but Baby Spice, Emma Bunton later clarified that she had never been approached about this while appearing on ITV's This Morning. But last year, there were reports that Geri Horner-Halliwell, Ginger Spice had pulled out of all discussions following an alleged rift with Melanie Brown MBE.

PA)A source claimed about Geri's supposed feud with Mel B: "She's just lost patience with Mel and her little digs and jibes." Speaking to MailOnline, they added: "She's walked away and without Geri, it's really not going to happen - in the past, she's been a driving force in the group, but she doesn't want to deal with Mel at all at the moment let alone share a stage with her."
Elsewhere, all five stars reunited last year to perform their classic hit Stop at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party, with her husband David sharing a glimpse into the performance online instantly sending fans wild. But the speculation didn't end there. Melanie Brown later reshared David's upload and hinted that tour dates were on the cards.
She said: "About last night" and then decided to include a hashtag with the words "tour dates coming soon". And plans of a reunion was further confirmed after Victoria also posted a message on her Instagram stories telling fans how much she loved them her bandmates and included the hashtag "SpiceUpYourLife."
