Spice Girls 'set to reunite' with Victoria Beckham for Geri Horner's 50th birthday bash

The Spice Girls are set to perform as five piece for the first time since the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics - as part of Geri Horner 's 50th birthday celebrations.

Ginger Spice Geri has invited fellow members Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Beckham to the lavish party in September.

The bash is to be held in a Grade II listed manor in Oxfordshire, close to David and Victoria's own manor house in the Cotswolds.

A source told the Sun : "It's going to be an amazing night. It's a seated, black tie do and the theme is Timeless Elegance. Loads of Geri and her husband Christian’s celeb pals will be there and, excitingly, Geri is inviting all the Spice Girls - including Victoria.

"The girls can't wait to reunite and the plan is for all five of them to sing Happy Birthday and get up on stage to join Geri for a number - possibly Wannabe.

"One of the girls turning 50 is a massive deal — they all want to mark the occasion in style, and reuniting after a decade seems the perfect time."

The group last performed in 2019 - albeit without Victoria - when the Girls embarked on a sell-out 13-date tour of the UK and Ireland.

Posh Spice Victoria was invited to take part, but was forced to decline due to other commitments.

Last month, meanwhile, Sporty Spice Mel C teased the possibility of the group headlining the iconic Glastonbury Festival in 2023.

Discussing her DJ set at this year's event, the 48-year old told BBC Breakfast: "I didn’t expect it to be as big as it was and as many people to be going as nuts as they did, it was a wonderful introduction to Glastonbury.

"It’s amazing because the wonderful thing about Glastonbury is there is something for everyone, there is so many musical styles and when you drop a Spice Girls song you think: how is it going to go? But people loved it, it was wonderful."

She continued: "It's the dream, the absolute dream, we would love to do it. The girls and I, we have chatted about it, it's the biggest stage in the world, we have the best festival in the world right here."

Sources close to Victoria have previously cast doubt over a full-scale reunion, however, in light of the 48-year old's alleged confidence issues.

A pal of Posh told New Magazine in March: "She is nervous because she knows the whole world will be watching her.

"Posh Spice and Victoria Beckham are two different people now, and that is how it has been for a long time.

"She has a different image now and she doesn’t want to embarrass herself."
