Mel C breaks silence on Spice Girl reunion tour as she reveals who 'still needs convincing'
Spice Girls star Melanie C has confessed 'next year is a big year us' as she opened up on the potential of a reunion for the iconic group group's 30th anniversary of Wannabe's release
Melanie C has admitted some are taking more convincing than others as the world gets excited about a Spice Girls reunion tour. Sporty Spice, 51, seemingly couldn't hide her excitement at the thoughts of a 30 year anniversary tour, but admitted not everyone is feeling the same buzz.
It was claimed earlier this week that the iconic girl group were in talks to hit the road to mark 30 years since the release of Wannabe. And now Melanie C has revealed certain members are needing more "convincing" for the feat.
It's thought Victoria is "90 per cent" sure to miss out yet again - just like she did on the group's sell-out tour in 2019. However, that doesn't appear to be going to stop Melanie and the other members.
Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty said: "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."
She revealed the prospect of the full ensemble reuniting would be the "best thing ever, ever, ever". And she also said "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."
And she joked that any reunion confirmation or secrets won't be ran by Melanie B, claiming "she can't keep her mouth shut".
"So don't listen to Mel B because she doesn't know, because we're not telling her," she playfully jibed.
Earlier in the week, it was claimed Band guru Simon Fuller was ready to meet with Geri to secure a deal for the reunuin. Geri and Simon are reportedly be back in touch and meeting in Miami, while Victoria has reportedly told pals she isn't considering going back to her music roots.
'There have been rumours swirling for months, but Geri has always been too busy and had other things on, preventing her from saying Yes," a source claimed to the Sun. 'Nothing is yet confirmed but Geri and Simon are back in touch with a myriad of exciting ideas."
However, they 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."

Victoria Beckham steps out as it's announced her husband David is set to receive a knighthood
Victoria Beckham stepped out in West London on Thursday as it was announced her husband David is set to receive a knighthood. The former Spice Girl, 50, looked effortlessly chic in black workout gear and a pair of stylish shades as she emerged from her £100K Porsche. The news of David's knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List comes after years of being snubbed for the honour. Now footage from the couple's 2003 ITV documentary The Real Beckhams has resurfaced, revealing Victoria had her sights on a title of her own long before the honours list caught up with her husband. Filmed on the morning of David's OBE investiture at Buckingham Palace, the scene shows the couple in a London hotel room preparing for the big day. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'David's nan and grandad are very excited. It's going to be a really nice day, and we're going to have lunch afterwards,' Victoria explains, before turning to the football legend and adding: 'I can't believe you're going to be David Beckham OBE.' David replied, 'I'm going to make you call me it,' to which Victoria responds with a grin, 'When you become a Sir and I'm a Lady, I'll make everyone call me it. Everyone! Even you.' Laughing awkwardly, David said: 'We'll see.' It was, at the time, a light-hearted exchange, but with David finally due to be knighted more than two decades later, her playful banter now feels incredibly prescient. The former Manchester United and England star, 50, is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours List. He will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun, meaning Victoria will officially be known as Lady Beckham. In the resurfaced footage of their preparation for his OBE investiture, their sons - and only children at the time - Romeo, then 14 months, and Brooklyn, then four, also appear. A lively Brooklyn flits through the scene, hugging his dad as he returns from the ceremony. The tender father-son moment that day feels especially poignant now, given the rift between Brooklyn and the family. The news of David's knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List comes after years of being snubbed for the honour - the doc was filmed on the morning of David's OBE investiture at Buckingham Palace, the scene shows the couple in a London hotel room preparing for the big day Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham remain estranged from the wider family, meaning it's unlikely they will be joining them in celebrating David's knighthood next week. Victoria and David also share son Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13. At another point in the video, Victoria jokes to David about his OBE, which was awarded by the late Queen for his services to football: 'Damn, I can't believe you beat me to it.' The pop star turned fashion designer is yet to receive a royal honour and following the investiture, she also admits to having a new-found appreciation for the royals. 'I like the fact that we have a Royal Family - it's lovely - but I was looking at the Queen today and I'm thinking, she's standing there for an hour and a half, giving out these awards... she probably does this every day. She travels around, she does a job at the end of the day, and she's still really polite. She made every single person there today feel special.' She adds: 'She spoke to everybody! Some guy got a medal for services to the Inland Revenue. I mean, who the hell would want to talk to him? But she did! That was so nice. 'We had a little bit of a nosy round [the Palace]. It wasn't quite as stylish as Beckingham Palace, not quite as modern.' Beckingham Palace was the nickname given to their lavish £2.5million home in Hertfordshire, which David and Victoria purchased shortly after their 1999 wedding. David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003 The Grade II-listed mansion, set in 24 acres and featuring a maze, recording studio and football pitch, became a symbol of their early-2000s celebrity status. They sold the property in 2014 to focus on homes abroad and a more private lifestyle. Later on in the fly-on-the-wall documentary, David reflects: 'I felt really proud today. Proud to be English,' adding that the Queen told him it was a great honour to be giving him the medal. 'She asked me if it's tiring travelling back and forward playing football. I said no.' Referring to his 2003 autobiography My Side, he continues: 'She didn't ask for an autograph... She'd read my book though.' The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening. David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003. While his appointment as an ambassador to HM's charity the King's Foundation was deemed an encouraging sign earlier last year, but his complicated tax affairs had once been viewed as a possible barrier. And in February 2017, there was a slew of leaked emails showing the former footballer had appeared to unleash a barrage of expletives criticising the honours committee that had once again left him off the list for a coveted gong. There was also an alleged 2013 leaked email, when, bitter not to be knighted, he complained about Katherine Jenkins, fuming 'Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. Plus taking coke. F****** joke.'
