As Mel B admits she’s been thrown out of the Spice Girls WhatsApp group, could we be waving Goodbye to a reunion?
WORDS: ROBYN MORRIS.
It’s their 30th anniversary this year, but hopes of a Spice Girls reunion may be on hold for the moment, as it looks like Mel B has potentially ruined any plans of a big comeback for the iconic girl group.
The star, 48, has admitted that she’s been kicked out of the Spice Girls WhatsApp group after revealing plans for a reunion that were supposed to be kept under wraps.

Victoria Beckham, 50, who didn’t take part in the band’s 2019 tour, said, ‘We do have a group chat, I do speak to all the girls. It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate – a dinner or a lunch – and reminisce, but it will not be any more than that. There have been lots of rumours about tours and performances but that will not happen.’
