Mel C confirms reports that the Spice Girls are discussing plans for a new worldwide reunion tour in 2021.

Mel C has confirmed that the Spice Girls are in active discussions about a new worldwide tour for next year, coronavirus permitting.

Four members of the girl group - Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell - reunited for a 13-date tour of the UK and Ireland last year, culminating in three sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium.

Reports earlier this year suggested that the group are now planning a huge tour of Europe, North America and Australasia next year to mark 25 years since the release of their debut single 'Wannabe'.

"Well, we're talking about it," Mel C admitted on Thursday's edition of This Morning. "There are no plans set in stone right now, but I think all the fans out there know we would love to do more - more in the UK, more around the globe.

"So please God, this horrible pandemic goes away and we can all start making exciting plans for the future."

All five members of the group - including tour absentee Victoria Beckham - recently reunited for a lockdown walk near Halliwell's mansion in the Cotswolds, prompting speculation that Posh could rejoin her former bandmates for the new tour.
