Posh, Sporty, Baby, Scary and Ginger are expected to make £10million each from the “farewell” tour, which begins in Los Angeles and comes to London on December 15, with each girl having a private jet to fly her from gig to gig.

But, they all insisted at the announcement in London yesterday, they are not in it for the money. “We’re doing this because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a Spice Girl again,” said Ginger Geri Halliwell. “Who would turn that down?” A lot has happened since they bounced on to the world stage with their debut hit Wannabe in 1996. A decade on, they seem to be more about Mum Power than Girl Power. 

Posh Victoria, 33, has three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz with football pin-up David Beckham.

Scary Melanie Brown, 32, has two girls Phoenix Chi and little Angel, the baby whose father has just been identified by DNA test as Hollywood star Eddie Murphy.

What do YOU think? Should the girls get back together, or accept they have no talent between them?
