Another Spice Girls reunion is the very last thing we need

Only Victoria Beckham could look at the swansong of Oasis’s reunion tour and think, OK, this, but make it zig-a-zig-ah.
VB and the Beckham family were at the Manchester band’s final night at Wembley last weekend (one imagines she drew a line at David wearing a bucket hat) and she was apparently so taken with the adoration heaped on Noel and Liam that she took to Instagram to float getting the Spice Girls - Geri, Emma, Mels B and C - back together for a tour of their own. All it took was a full pan of the stadium posted on Insta Stories to her 33 million followers with the word “tempting” and the appropriate tags for all her ex-bandmates and, voila, the headline “Victoria Beckham teases a Spice Girls reunion” trends around the world.
