USUALLY it is Victoria Beckham who holds up proceedings when it comes to a Spice Girls reunion.
But Melanie C has claimed it is now Geri Horner who is yet to give the green light for a return.
The Celeb Report told on Saturday how all five members of the chart-topping girl group, including Emma Bunton and Mel B, had been asked to reunite to perform at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June.
But when asked about whether they would accept the invitation, Mel C suggested the question ought to be directed to Geri instead.
However, she then added that the group are yet to meet up to discuss the offer.
Speaking at her concert in London on Saturday night, she said: “You’re going to need to ask Geri about that one.
“We have not discussed it yet.”
I told earlier this month how another planned tour for the group had been shelved after Covid killed the momentum.
Geri had been helping to manage the foursome but the plans had dried up and they started to focus on other solo projects.
But Mel C, who has been on a solo tour around the country for the past week, is notorious among fans for remaining coy about plans for the group.
She denied they were set to perform at the London Olympics closing ceremony back in 2012 — before all five members were reunited.
She also played down whispers of a reunion prior to the announcement of their 2019 Spice World tour.
But in recent years she has also been the one who is most eager to do more as a group and has said she is convinced Posh Spice can be persuaded to return.
In October, Mel said: “We would love to have her back on stage. In all honesty, I think it’s gonna happen. At some point, I think Posh Spice will be back on stage.”
During the 2012 Diamond Jubilee concert, MEL B wrote on social media: “Makes me sooo sad Spice Girls wasn’t part of the Queen’s jubilee, I was so up for it.!”
And Mel C added: “Bit miffed I’m not at Buckingham Palace.”
So come on, Geri — I’m sure HRH would love another look at that Union Flag dress.
The prospect of performing for Her Majesty ought to be enough to make anyone say yes.
IT’S MABEL VERSUS EUNICE
NOT to sound like an old codger, but I’m starting to worry about Mabel.
As Storm Eunice battered Britain, the pink lady was out in just this Fendi micro mini to celebrate her 26th birthday.
No coat, no tights – she’ll catch her death if she carries on like this.
It sounds like she had enough to contend with the morning after though, battling through a monster headache.
Posting a video on Instagram she wrote: “Had the most colossal hangover of my whole life on my b’day lmao. But: She’s back, bishes!”
Glad to hear it, Mabel, but take a coat next time, yeah?
