 has put to rest rumours of a Spice Girls reunion for the group's 30th anniversary in a new bombshell interview and admitted she may never perform with her former bandmates again. 

The songstress, 50, found fame in the iconic girl group alongside , 51, , 50, , 51, and , 53, in 1996 before eventually splitting in 2001.

They reunited in 2007 for a world tour, followed by a perfomance at the 2012 London  closing ceremony and later a 2019 UK tour as a four piece without Victoria. 

As well as scrapped reunion plans, Mel also seemingly dashed hopes for the group's proposed documentary as she took a swipe at her bandmates who 'did not want to be honest' on screen.

She said: 'I can tell you [a reunion] is not happening, If it does, it'll be a shock to me, let's put it that way. When I look at that [2019 tour] and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time… I'm 50. You can't be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don't want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50.' 

While Mel gushed over her 'incredible bond' with her bandmates, she admitted that even if they proposed a late in the day reunion she was unsure if she'd join them.

She told Hello: 'I honestly don't know. I've got a lot of respect and love for those girls. I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for me being part of the . They've done a lot for me as a person and in my life. I've got fond memories, but I don't know if I would want to go back up on stage.'

Mel then went on to address rumours of the Netflix doc, following in the footsteps of David and Victoria's films. 

'I think we've all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point,' she says. 'But it has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest – and not everybody wants to be honest.'

Mel C herself confirmed that there was no reunion in the works, as she : 'No, there is no reunion. We are communicating all the time. We want to do something – who knows when.

'But I still feel very optimistic and I

There was also a rumoured Netflix drama  about the band in the works, but Reports emerged in 2024 that Geri has derailed the huge deal which would have netted each of the five members £1million each.

Sources had said that the 'nightmare' fallout between Geri and Mel B left the band unable to find a manager capable of 'mediating' to push projects over the line.

In February Victoria joined Emma, Geri and Mel C to sing at her London home - while Mel B was away on honeymoon 

Speaking to Andy Cohen on Sirius XM, last October, she said: 'Before I was in the Spice Girls, I was so self-conscious and they made me feel that I was good enough.

'But being on stage, I realised as fun as it is, you know, it’s not ultimately what I want to do anymore.

'I don’t know if I could even still sing,' she quipped. 'I mean, I was never that great. It would be tempting. But could I take on a world tour? No I can’t. I have a job…

'How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere? I love the idea of it.'

Victoria last performed with the band during the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony and before that she joined the band on their 2007-08 world tour.

Geri

Geri's departure from the band hit headlines across the world and the group went on hiatus two years later.

The Spice Girls shot to fame in 1996 when their debut single Wannabe reached number one in 37 countries.

The girl group reached the top of the UK charts nine times and had two number one albums. When Geri left the band, she launched a solo career and enjoyed four number one singles in the UK.
