However, Victoria - known as Posh Spice in her pop star hey-day - will sit the trek out, deciding to focus on her ever-expanding global fashion brand instead. 

A source told the newspaper: 'There is a huge demand for the Spice Girls to get back together, especially with the nostalgia around the two-decade anniversary of their first release next summer.

'Mel B flew into London last month to secretly agree the plan with the other three girls. They should each make more than ten million pounds from this.'
