Victoria Beckham has finally rejoined the Spice Girls for a singalong after refusing to go on tour in 2019.

Amid the furore over her family fall-out with eldest son Brooklyn, Victoria joined the group to sign Viva Forever in the dining room of her London home – 30 years after the band first got together.

But one member was missing. Mel B was a no-show amid her bitter falling out with Geri Halliwell-Horner, but she has recently said she is keen for the band to get back together.

While the ladies sang, Victoria’s son Cruz strummed away on the guitar, while his girlfriend Jackie Apostel sat at the table for the iconic moment.

Victoria has been dropping hints that she might do something with the band, uploading a clip of herself singing a live acoustic version of one of their biggest hits and reuniting with the girls last month.

The new video comes after the girls reunited at Soho Farmhouse for Emma Bunton’s 50th birthday last month leading fans to question if there would be further announcements

Mel C appeared on Good Morning America in November to promote her ninth album Sweat, when she was grilled if the Spice Girls would come back together.

Crossing her fingers, Mel said: ‘I remain optimistic. It’s our thirtieth anniversary next year.

‘We toured in 2019, we did a few stadium shows in the UK and it was incredible.

‘We’re just so proud of the legacy that we have and we have fans now from new generations are just loving the Spice Girls so I would like to get back on stage with the girls.

‘We’re talking and we’re seeing what opportunities are out there. The thing that stops us is we feel so precious about it, we want to make sure it’s the right thing and agree on the right thing.’

Mel B also teased a major Spice Girls comeback – after Victoria surged to No.1 in the charts amid the fallout from her son Brooklyn’s brutal statement.

Scary Spice, 50, was seen liking a clip about the band getting back together.

The clip was a segment from the Shouldn’t Laugh But… podcast where host Laura Smyth suggested Victoria could divert attention away from the ‘PR disaster’ of her son’s statement by getting the group back together.

Fans saw Mel B’s like as a signal that there be plans for a Spice Girls reunion in the works after years of rumours.

Speaking directly to Victoria, Laura said in the podcast clip: ‘There is only one way on this earth you will ever come back from this PR disaster.

‘Three words. Spice Girls reunion. It will eclipse it all and I want you there. I don’t want four of them. I want all five.

Emma Bunton shared a throwback snap from her Spice Girls days on Sunday, after celebrating her 50th birthday with the band.

But Victoria had previously maintained that she would not join the band again, insisting her fashion career was her focus and reiterating that being in the Spice Girls was only four years of her life.

Discussing her decision not to join the ladies on tour in 2019, she told Vogue Germany: ‘It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again.

‘But to be the one who says, “You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to”.’

She added: ‘I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company. I’m 45 now and very happy to be the woman I am…’

Victoria did however confess the idea of a Vegas residency is one that appeals to her.

Speaking to Andy Cohen on Sirius XM, she said: ‘It would be tempting. But could I take on a world tour? No I can’t. I have a job…

‘How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere! I love the idea of it. I mean I don’t know if I could even still sing, I mean I was never that.’

She also posted a video of herself singing a stripped back acoustic performance of Viva Forever with Cruz.

Baby Spice reuploaded a photo on Instagram which was originally posted by bandmate Melanie Chisholm, who joked: ‘Wish I still had that coat @tommyhilfiger, love my Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton.’

Victoria last performed with the band during the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony and before that was on their 2007 world tour.

David Beckham previously said: ‘Our kids weren’t around to see their mum be a Spice Girl!’

And Victoria quipped: ‘He mum-guilted me!’

Mel C got emotional last month, when she reflected on 30 years of the Spice Girls and the band’s future in a new interview.

The singer has been busy promoting her 10th solo album but has admitted she will always pine for another Spice Girls reunion, this time with Victoria included.

A video shared by People.com showed Mel fighting back tears whilst flicking through photos from the band’s 2019 reunion tour with Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell.

‘This last picture actually makes me a feel a little bit emotional. Of all the pictures, isn’t that funny?’ Mel admitted.

‘It was the most beautiful experience as a Spice Girl. I think because so much time had passed that we were all very present and really could appreciate what this thing meant to so many people.’

‘It was such a joyous experience. We were just able to take it in for the first time and enjoy every minute. I feel emotional because I’d love to do it again.’

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
