Spice Girls move closer to reunion tour but one star has 'pretty much ruled herself out'
Spice Girls are inching closer to a reunion tour to mark their 30th anniversary - but Victoria Beckham is said to have "pretty much ruled herself out".
There has been plenty of speculation about the band - Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell-Horner, and Victoria - coming together again for a world tour next year, when their debut single 'Wannabe' turns 30 years old.
Spice Girls star Geri is expected to meet the group's former manager Simon Fuller in Miami later this week, when both are in the Magic City for the Miami Grand Prix.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "There have been rumours swirling for months, but Geri has always been too busy and had other things on, preventing her from saying Yes.
"Nothing is yet confirmed but Geri and Simon are back in touch with a myriad of exciting ideas.
"If Simon were to get involved, this would absolutely take any tour to the next level."
However, Victoria is said to be "90 per cent out of the running" to reunite with the 'Say You'll Be There' hitmakers.
The source added: "Unfortunately Victoria has pretty much ruled herself out, but there is still a world in which she could do some sort of avatar appearance or a special one-off thing.
"She would always want to honour the girls' history."
Mel C recently hinted that the group could head out on a world tour for Wannabe's 30th anniversary.
In March, she told Australia's 2Day FM: "We have to do something special.
"Obviously I can't say too much but we are talking about things. Hopefully a nice little world tour!"
In 2024, the Spice Girls sparked reunion speculation when they all appeared in the same room together - and blasted out a rendition of their hit tune 'Stop'.
Geri, Emma, Mel B and Mel C came together to support Victoria at her 50th birthday party, and the quintet couldn't resist a rendition of the 1997 song.
If the '2 Become 1' hitmakers go on tour without Victoria, it won't be the first time they have hit the road Posh Spice-less.
Spice Girls played at 13 sold-out stadium shows in the UK and Ireland in 2019, but Victoria didn't reunite with the group.
However, she did when they performed at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony.

British Airways flight attendant found dancing naked in business class
A British Airways flight attendant has reportedly been found dancing naked mid-flight. The hostie, 41, was meant to be serving drinks and meals to passengers, instead, after a search, colleagues found him completely naked and jumping up and down in one of the plane's business class toilets. Clearly unable to continue his shift, the man was given a pair of pyjamas to change into before being seated in a first class seat and strapped in for the remainder of the 10 hour flight headed to London from San Francisco, The Sun reports. There were around 470 passengers and crew on board the packed double-decker Airbus A380 at the time. 'We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working. It is an extraordinary thing to do,' one co-worker told The Sun. 'The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else. 'Rather than asking passengers 'chicken or beef', he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet. It was a long time before he was located and he was completely out of it. 'Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on me.' On landing, the man, who disembarked in a wheelchair, was given medical attention and arrested by police on suspicion of being unfit for duty. The incident is being investigated and the flight attendant has been suspended.

Spice Girls flock to Mel B's themed 50th bash
Spice Girl Melanie B celebrated her 50th birthday over the weekend – and two out of her four bandmates were there to celebrate with her. Fellow Spice Girls Melanie C and Emma Bunton were on hand for the celebrations, the pair both sticking to the night's strict dresscode: Mel's trademark Scary Spice leopard print. The party was held at the Habbibi hookah bar and restaurant in central Leeds, Mel's hometown. In recent years she's moved back to the northern UK city with her children, reconnecting with her mother and sister after a period of estrangement. But it appears that period is well and truly over – in footage from the night Mel shared on Instagram, she could be seen rolling on the floor with younger sister Danielle, the sisters laughing hysterically as they embraced. Other video shared from the event showed Mel dancing with her fellow Spice Girls to the group's 2000 hit Holler. All three Spices attended with their respective partners in tow: Mel B with her fiance, hairdresser Rory McPhee, Bunton with husband Jade Jones, and Melanie C with her Aussie model boyfriend Chris Dingwall. Notably absent at the party were the other two Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell-Horner. Geri did at least wish Mel a Happy 50th on Instagram – although fans were quick to point out in the comment section that Mel is not one of the 83 accounts Geri follows on the platform (she does, however, follow all three other Spice Girls). It's perhaps not without cause: Mel B used the platform to publicly wish her former bandmate a happy 52nd birthday last year – but added a few digits to her age. 'Happy 75th bday Ginge,' she wrote. The last time all five members of the group were seen together was for Victoria's 50th bash in April last year. Meanwhile, speculation is growing – yet again – that the Spice Girls might soon embark on another reunion tour, this time to mark next year's 30th anniversary of the release of debut single Wannabe. The group's long-suffering Aussie fanbase might believe that when we see it. After ditching a planned Australian date during their first reunion tour in 2007, the group got Aussies' hopes up again the final night of their 2019 UK and Ireland reunion jaunt. Mel B made world headlines as the band said their goodbyes at Wembley Stadium, announcing 'we'll see you in February in Australia!' By the next morning she was walking back the comments many had interpreted as confirmation of what would've been the group's first Australian tour, explaining during a radio interview on 2Day FM: 'You know me by now. I announced it on stage, yes, without everybody else signing off 100 per cent, but I figured if I put it out there, maybe it's going to happen.'
