Mel C has broken her silence on the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour, revealing that one member still ‘needs more convincing’ to take to the stage. 

This week brought the exciting news that the legendary girl group plans to reunite for a potential world tour to mark 30 years since their groundbreaking debut single Wannabe.

It’s already been noted that Posh Spice, also known as Victoria Beckham, isn’t likely to join, as the fashion designer, 51, hasn’t performed with them since the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.

However, Mel C, 51, expressed her thrill about the upcoming tour in a recent interview, revealing that another member of the group was less eager to return to the stage and needed some convincing. 

Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice shared: ‘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.’

It was revealed earlier this week that the iconic girl group would be reuniting for a possible world tour to celebrate 30 years since the release of the debut single Wannabe [L-R Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell in 2007]

Amid her revelation that it was Geri Halliwell-Horner that needed convincing, this further adds to recent reports that Ginger Spice is set to meet with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller in Miami this weekend to discuss the plans. 

The singer, 52, recently remained coy about a possible reunion, saying in an interview last month: ‘I love the Spice Girls as a whole movement, the tribe of us, and the individual members.’ 

It was thought that the scandal scandal engulfing her husband Christian Horner, who accused of misconduct by a team employee, put Geri off taking part. 

But with Geri’s Red Bull F1 boss Christian gearing up for the latest race in the calendar and with Simon reportedly a racing fan with an invite from Red Bull to attend, it would be the perfect opportunity for the two to chat.

Meanwhile, discussing the prospect of all five girls being on stage together for the first time since 2012, Mel added: ‘It would be the best thing ever, ever, ever. And 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.’

Meanwhile, Mel B joked that any important details regarding the tour won’t be shared with Mel B as ‘she can’t keep her mouth shut.’

In a new interview, Mel C, 51, shared her excitement about the tour and let slip that one other member seemingly wasn’t as enthusiastic and needed further persuasion

She quipped: ‘We’ve decided now we’re not going to tell Mel anything because 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.’ 

Since they officially broke up they there have been various rumours that they would reunite – with Mel B recently sharing her enthusiasm again for another tour.

Mel C previously hinted that the band could do something special next year to mark the 30-year anniversary of their debut album, Spice.

The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria missing out.

While the last time Emma, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Geri all performed as a five was during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

Speaking to Rebecca Judd On Apple Music 1 in March, Mel C teased: ‘There has to be something befitting of 30 years since Wannabe.

Meanwhile, Mel B joked that any important details regarding the tour won’t be shared with Mel B as ‘she can’t keep her mouth shut’

‘Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl.

‘We all feel like that, but we now are getting together because we know if we’re going to do anything, we have to start planning things to get things right.

‘We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed.’

However, she admitted it might be up to her and Mel B to get things moving, saying: ‘I think me and Mel B are probably going to be going in there all guns blazing, ‘Come on! It’s time!”
