Mel C claims Spice Girls reunion WON’T happen unless all five members are commited
MELANIE C has once again hinted that a Spice Girls reunion may never happen as she admitted she couldn't see the band reforming without all five members.
The singer - known around the world for being Sporty Spice - drew the line under talks of potential reunions while making an appearance on The Nightly Show with Davina McCall.
She explained: "It's not really doing the band justice to go out as a four piece. Whoever's missing, it doesn't matter. I think for me Spice girls is like a jigsaw puzzle."
The 43-year-old continued: "It's different to other bands. Look at Take That - they're going out as a three piece and they're brilliant. I love the boys! 'But with the Spice Girls, everything about us was the individuality and what that created together."
However, Mel had previously got fans' hopes up in January when she hinted fans might still get to see the girl group reunited in the future, despite her decision to opt out of the GEM reunion plans last year.
The Spice Girls star made the surprise admission during her early morning appearance on Lorraine when the host quizzed her about reunion talk.
Melanie, 43, answered: "Maybe we will reunite again. I know there’s been so much speculation with the 20th anniversary that just went by. In fact there has been speculation ever since Geri Halliwell left the group in 1998.
"It would have been the perfect opportunity to do it but it didn’t work out. Everyone is doing things and on different paths.We never say never."
"It's going to be 21 years since we first came out as the Spice Girls. It's gone by so fast."
Sporty Spice made her feelings clear about why she chose not to joining the Spice Girls reunion last year with an emotionally penned letter.
She said: “I’d love to play huge arenas across the world, sing our brilliantly bonkers pop songs and relive our former glory. It is of course a very lucrative opportunity too.
“But we were a five-piece band. Didn’t we reach a peak with the Olympics?
“There’s a lot to be said for bowing out on a high note. For me, the absolute pinnacle of my Spice existence was being watched by a billion people around the globe belting out Spice up Your Life on top of a black cab at the 2012 London Olympics.
“Anything less than the full line-up just didn’t feel like we’d be doing justice to the band or the fans.”
