As committed fans will know, the Spice Girls last performed together at the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games in 2012. A reunion has been on the cards a few times since, but it’s never actually happened - due in part to their various demanding schedules, including Beckham’s burgeoning career as a fashion designer.

Just earlier this year, former Baby Spice Emma Bunton insisted that the group members were still close. She said they had been mooting the idea of a comeback for the 20th anniversary of their hit single Wannabe over the summer (again, this didn’t come to be).

“We adore each other,” Bunton told the Telegraph. “There’s so much we’ve been through. I would love to do something [to mark the anniversary].

“I think we’d all quite like to do something, but it really is figuring it out. We all have such different lives. Mel B lives in America. We’ve all got different managers.”
