The internet has been alight with rumours that the gang will be rejoining for good, or at least that a tour’s on the cards.

Celebrity gossip website TMZ reported that the Spice Girls were set to “hit the stage in England first and then migrate over to the U.S.”, claiming that a source had confirmed the pop stars would be picking up their microphones for a world tour.

Five days after the picture was posted the site said, “sources connected to the women tell us the meeting was for ‘rough planning’ and the goal is a world tour that will kick off in late summer.”

Over on Twitter there’s been no stopping the rumour mill, with droves of fans expressing their excitement at the possibility of seeing their favourite band play live.

With particular enthusiasm, one Twitter user said: “And when the f*** is the Spice Girls reunion concert? Because I will be FRONT ROW spicing up my life!”

Another said they would be “listening to their music on repeat” to celebrate.
