Spice Girls practise pole dancing

The Spice Girls have been practising pole dancing for a raunchy routine on their forthcoming world tour.

The five-piece have been taking lessons at London's Soho Revue Bar, which regularly plays host to pole dancers, drag artists and live bands.

They have also hired the services of an all-male American dance team to perform alongside them at the concerts.

A source told The Sun: "The girls all agreed that a pole dancing section in the show would be fabulous and sexy.

"And they wanted to get some proper lessons from professional dancers.

"They chose the Soho Revue Bar with all its fabulous kitsch decor and they liked the idea of something a bit seedy."
