The Spice Girls will embark on a tour to celebrate their reunion, according to reports.

The news comes days after Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, shot down reports.

Speaking to Vogue during a preview of her autumn/winter 2018, she said: “I’m not going on tour. The girls aren’t going on tour.”

But TMZ has claimed Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner have all signed contracts for a tour of the UK and US.

The US website reported: “Mel B signed on the dotted line last Friday and we’re told the other members signed as well [...].

“It spells out the specifics, including the number and location of concerts and compensation.”

The five-piece finally ended months of speculation when they reunited for the first time in six years last month at Horner’s house.

Following the meeting they revealed the “time now feels right to explore some incredible new opportunities together”.

Music manager Simon Fuller is said to be behind the venture which will reportedly involve a TV talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits.

Speaking on Heart Breakfast her co-presenter Jamie Theakston said: “I want you guys on the roof of Buckingham Palace, waving that Union Jack. Some sort of Brexit concert, I don’t know.

“Wouldn’t that be awesome?”

Bunton replied: “Wouldn’t that be amazing.”
