The Spice Girls have reportedly been left horrified after an unreleased song featuring an explicit title has emerged online following a security breach.
The iconic girl group consisting of Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Melanie C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton were shocked when their song titled C. U. Next Tuesday, which was written and recorded 27 years ago, was leaked online.
The term is slang for a four-letter expletive, which goes against everything that the band represents during their illustrious career.

It is thought that the unwanted song was recorded for their debut album Spice but the group refused to have it on the record, The Mirror reports.
"The Spice Girls are all at a very different place in their lives now than they were when this song was first written as a tongue-in-cheek track in the Nineties," A source told The Sun.
They added: "It is obviously a bit embarrassing given the cringeworthy title, as they wouldn’t use the c-word in their own lives. It is a bit of a mystery how on earth it has got out but they aren’t going to dwell on it.
"The group have other projects they are looking forward to in 2023 so are focusing on them and hoping this song — which they were never particularly fond of — is forgotten."
And speaking about the leak, a raging Mel C hit out to say: "C.U. Next Tuesday was never used because it’s a pile of s***. It would be a big rip-off if Virgin put it on a greatest hits album now."
The leaked song comes after the girl band had a reunion in November as they gathered to celebrate Geri Horner's 50th birthday after her original plans were scuppered in September following the Queen's death.
