Victoria Beckham has revealed the real reason she decided to reunite with the Spice Girls, suggesting she was inspired by the #MeToo and Time's Up campaigns. The 43-year-old, known as Posh Spice, was believed to initially be reluctant to re-join the group, who celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2016. But she told the Mirror: "The Time's Up and #MeToo movements have shone a light on how powerful we can be when we work together to bring about change. That is incredibly inspiring."

Although the British five-piece are yet to reveal if they are going on a tour, they have promised there's lots of "exciting things to come". A statement released by Jo Milloy, on behalf of the group, read: "We have enjoyed a wonderful afternoon catching-up and reminiscing about the amazing times we spent together. We are always overwhelmed at how much interest there is across the whole world for The Spice Girls."
