Last year, Geri Halliwell opened up about the possibility that a full Spice Girls reunion could take place around their 30th anniversary.
“For me, the Spice Girls belongs to the whole world – I’m really proud of that and I love being with the girls,” she began (via The News).
“But I think, when I engage with something – it’s like any project is like children – I want to give it my 150 per cent,” she added, explaining that she is currently developing a character for her debut children’s book named Rosie Frost.
Although seemingly reluctant to promise any hopes of a full-blown reunion with fellow members Victoria Beckham, Melanie C, Mel B, and Emma Bunton anytime soon, Halliwell did say that the prospect of a reunion at another time is still on the cards.
Back in May, the members also piqued the interest of fans after they hinted that a mystery project was in the works, featuring all five original members.
At the time, Scary Spice (aka Mel B) revealed that the group were putting the finishing touches on a new project, and that it would be something that fans will love.
In other news, Spice Girls released an alternative never-seen-before music video in celebration of their ’90s smash hit ‘Stop’, and Mel B alluded to the band performing at this year’s Glastonbury – a rumour which was later quashed by Mel C, who said the event would not be occurring due to schedule conflicts.
