Mel B hits out at Spice Girls bandmates for refusing reunion

Mel B has branded her Spice Girls bandmates "d********s" for not wanting a reunion.

The 49-year-old pop star shot to fame alongside Geri Halliwell, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham in the late 1990s as part of the world's best-selling girl group but recently claimed she had been kicked out of a WhatsApp group after pushing for another tour.

Speaking on an upcoming episode of Sky Max show 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' - which will air on Saturday (30.10.24) - when asked why she had been expelled from the group, she explained: "Because I’m Northern and say what I think and feel and I’m constantly saying to the girls, ‘We need to go back on tour. Because they’re d********."

The Spice Girls were formed through an open audition in 1994 and were initially known as Touch, before going through a couple of lineup changes, choosing a different name, and breaking away from their original management.

They achieved a record-breaking run of six consecutive number-one singles and two number-one albums before the shock exit of Geri in 1998 and released their last record in 2000 but got back together in 2007 for a world tour.

In 2012, all five members performed a medley of hits at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics and were briefly seen together again at the opening of their short-lived West End musical 'Viva Forever' but Victoria opted not to return for the group's last run of stadium shows in 2019.
