Spice Girls hire therapist for tour

The Spice Girls will be accompanied by a therapist for the duration of their reunion tour, according to a report.

Executives at record label Virgin are concerned that arguments between the singers could result in one of them deciding to pull out. Bosses will ask the therapist to act as a mediator between the girls, should the worst happen.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "This tour will be massive and record bosses do not want anything getting in the way - least of all the girls themselves. They want Girl Power to come back in style, not end in arguments between the girls. So taking a therapist along to smooth out any problems makes sense.

"The therapist will be available any time the girls need someone to talk to so that any disagreements do not get out of hand. It would be a disaster if any of them walked out mid-way through the tour."
