The Spice Girls are recording a new song together, according to a report.

Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Melanie C have apparently already recorded parts at a basement studio in Brighton last week while Victoria Beckham and Melanie Brown will join them imminently.

According to the News of the World, the girls are hoping it will make them a Christmas number one. A source commented: "It's phenomenal news for them, and the girls are really excited."

Halliwell and Bunton were photographed giggling and hugging each other after the session at the home of Richard Stannard, their old producer.
