Mel C working on huge film as fulll Spice Girls reunion hits 'problem'

Mel C is busy working on her own career as fans keep holding out hope for a Spice Girls reunion. The iconic singer, 51, sparked hope of a reunion with Emma Bunton,Mel B, Geri Horner and Victoria Beckham as they approach their 30th anniversary.

Their debut album, Spice, will reach the landmark 30-year anniversaryin 2026. The girls toured together in 2019, but only as a foursome, as Victoria did not take part, due to various commitments with her fashion brand.

Rumours of a future reunion have continued to murmur away, but it seems Mel C is keen to get back to it even if her bandmates are dragging their heels. She is said to be returning to the world of music later this year and may even have her own film project.

Mel C's representative David Bianchi CEO of Various Artists Managment teased: "As far as Mel C is concerned, she has a new record deal which she will announce soon.

"There may also be a film project in the works with her as well. She is a global icon. She was a big part of one of the most successful bands of all time. I don't think some people realise quite how successful she and, indeed, they, really were."

He added on Through the Morning with Chloe Rivers on Suffolk Sound: "As for towards the end of this year, you will be hearing an awful lot more from her musically."

David also shared his thoughts on a Spice Girl reunion as he confessed: "The problem with the Spice Girl reunion is that all five girls are very successful in their own right. To expect them to all pull together and do that is quite the ask."

Mel C spoke of reunion plans earlier this year as she told Rebecca Judd on Apple Music 1: "There has to be something befitting of 30 years since Wannabe. Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl.

"We all feel like that, but we now are getting together because we know if we’re going to do anything, we have to start planning things to get things right. We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed."

She added: "I think me and Mel B are probably going to be going in there all guns blazing, 'Come on! It’s time!'" Since their decision to disband in 2000, they have reunited on several occasions – including in 2007, 2012 for the London Olympic Games and in 2018 to tour across the UK.

Victoria last performed with the group at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics as she did not take part in the 25th anniversary celebrations. The fashion designer is also gearing up to appear on the small screen as she embraces projects outside of the Spice Girls.

Viewers were gripped whenthree-part documentary Beckham was released on Netflix in 2023, as Victoria's footballer husband David’s career entered the spotlight. Now, the focus is Victoria who has filmedher very own seriesfor the streaming platform.

A teaser shared: “In the most Posh news ever, a Victoria Beckham documentary series is now in production. The series will follow her reinvention as a Creative Director of her own brand – offering exclusive access to Victoria, her fashion and beauty business, and her never-before-seen archives.”
