Mel B has continued to fuel rumours that the Spice Girls are to reunite for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The 36-year-old, recently confirmed as the new host of Dancing with the Stars Australia, announced that a surprise UK meeting with Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Mel C will be taking place next month - around the same time as rehearsals for a Buckingham Palace concert on June 4.
"will be back in uk next month to see my spice girls," she tweeted. "can't wait,missed them all sooooooo much!!!!! girlpower all the way babay!!!"
Rumours began when Mel B let slip on Australian TV this week that the Spice Girls "do have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee coming up".
Halliwell later confirmed that the group did receive an offer to play, but hinted that Beckham had refused a reunion as reported.
It was confirmed yesterday (February 7) that Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Dame Shirley Bassey, Jessie J, Annie Lennox, Cliff Richard, Ed Sheeran, JLS and Madness are among the acts to perform at the Diamond Jubilee concert.
The event is part-organised by Gary Barlow and will air live on BBC One, BBC One HD and BBC Radio 2 in the UK. American viewers will be able to watch exclusive highlights on ABC on June 5.
