Mel B hopes to reform the Spice Girls for a bonanza show in South Africa at the same time as next year’s football World Cup finals, it has been claimed.

According to The Sun, the singer wants to reunite the group with or without band member Victoria Beckham.

A source said: “Mel’s determined to get the girls back together for the World Cup and wants them to plough ahead as a foursome if Victoria doesn’t want to take part.

“She has got the others excited by the idea of a one-off appearance. They are very interested.”

Victoria has previously said that she has no plans to return to music, while it is possible that her husband David will be part of the England squad that travels to South Africa in 2010.

Geri Halliwell recently confirmed that the girls were “evolving a plan” about a possible comeback following a meet-up in London last week.celebs
