Huge amount of helpers for Spice Girls

The Spice Girls will each have their own personal team of helpers when they jet off on their world tour later this year.

In the old days, Baby, Ginger, Posh, Scary and Sporty all shared one make-up artist and hairdresser. However, this time around, the girls are planning to take 10 hair stylists and make-up experts, as well as fitness trainers, nutrition advisors, personal assistants and child minders.

A source told The Mirror: "There's so much competition between the girls. It's hilarious - and completely over the top. Why can't they just share like in the old days? It's a far cry from the old days when they had one make-up artist and a hairdresser between them."

However, a spokesman for the band insisted: "It's normal for each girl to have a team."
