GUESS THE A-LISTER

Can you tell who this pop star is in her first TV interview ever?

See what one of the world’s most famous stars looked like before she became a household name

PICTURES of Victoria Beckham and the rest of the Spice Girls, looking very, er, youthful have resurfaced.

The photos of the fabulous five show them looking virtually unrecognisable from the world famous women we know today.

The snaps come hot on the heels of their 20th anniversary for their number one single Wannabe.

The pictures, taken from the 2001 documentary Raw Spice, show the usually groomed to perfection VB looking less than Posh.

The footage was filmed a few years before the girls made it big in the 90s.

In a clip from the show, Victoria can even been heard talking about her love for Ryan Giggs – who at the time was her husband David Beckham’s Manchester United teammate.

The other girls, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton, also look remarkably different, but it’s Victoria who stands out the most.

Mel C also looked very different during her Sporty Era

The Spice Girls hit the big time in 1996 following the release of their debut single Wannabe.

They then went onto global stardom, which saw them become household names.

Victoria Beckham is now one of the biggest stars in the world.

Having ditched singing, she is now a respected fashion designer and married to one of the most handsome men in the world.

Emma Bunton can be heard every morning on Heart radio, where she does a show with Jamie Theakston.

Mel B has enjoyed regular stints on shows like X Factor and America’s Got Talent.

Mel C is still perusing her music, and has started working on seventh studio album.

And Geri has also kept her hand in at music and has appeared on shows like Australia Has Got Talent and the X Factor

Meanwhile, the pics emerge as the girls confirm they WILL be making a comeback - albeit without two founding members.

Mel B, Geri and Emma officially revealed their return in a video message this week on the 20th anniversary of their debut single Wannabe, in which they unveil their new name Spice Girls Gem.

The title is an acronym of the remaining members’ names and separates them from the original group after Victoria and Mel C ruled themselves out of the reunion.

In the message on their newly launched site, which starts with a shot of the trio (pictured), they said:

“You’ve stood by us for 20 years and we want to say a big thank you.

“We’ve had our ups and downs but you have always been there.

“We want to celebrate and have a party, and when we do, you’re invited.”

They didn’t give much away about what they are planning, but just two days ago I reveal­ed they will be throwing their party at Hyde Park next ­summer.

After running out of time to organise something for this year, they have agreed to perform a huge London show next July, which would be an undeniable treat for more than 65,000 Spice fans.

The limited capacity means millions will miss out on seeing them live — but the girls will make up for it with new music.
