Spice Girls ‘including Victoria Beckham to reunite for special performance at Geri Horner’s 50th birthday’

All five members of the Spice Girls are set to reunite for the first time in a decade at Geri Horner’s 50th birthday, according to reports.

The Bag It Up hit-maker will celebrate the milestone age in September with a lavish party and not only has she invited Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, and Victoria Beckham, they are expected to perform together as a five-piece for the first time since the closing ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012.

According to a source, the bash will be a “seated, black tie do,” and the theme is “Timeless Elegance”.

“It’s being held in a Grade II listed manor in Oxfordshire which, conveniently, is just a stone’s throw from David and Victoria’s Cotswolds manor,” the insider dished.

“The girls can’t wait to reunite and the plan is for all five of them to sing Happy Birthday and get up on stage to join Geri for a number — possibly Wannabe.

“One of the girls turning 50 is a massive deal — they all want to mark the occasion in style, and reuniting after a decade seems the perfect time,” they added to The Sun.

The Spice Girls were originally formed in 1994 and went on to become the best-selling girl group of all time, with a catalogue of hits including Spice Up Your Life and 2 Become 1.

Horner left the band in 1998 and the remaining members went their separate ways in 2000.

All five members reunited for a string of arena shows in 2007 and they got back together again to play at 13 stadiums across the UK in 2019, minus Beckham, who decided not to take part.

The Standard has contacted a representative for Geri Horner for comment.
