Scary Spice Mel B, 42, will fly in from LA today for a secret meeting with bandmates Posh, 43, Baby Emma Bunton, 42, Sporty Mel C, 44, and Ginger Geri Horner, 45.

It will be the first time the five have been together in the same room since  2012.

Pop Idol mastermind Simon Fuller, 57, is behind the venture — and is believed to have promised reluctant Victoria her  vocals will not be needed.

Last night a source close to the band said: “This is the pop reunion no one thought would ever happen again.

“But after a long period of negotiation Victoria agreed the time is right  to work on new projects this year.

“It’s very exciting because she has always been adamant she wouldn’t go back.”

They are considering TV projects in China, a new telly talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits.

Our insider added: “Victoria and Geri agreed it would be impossible to be part of a  fully-fledged tour because of family and business commitments.

“Now that she’s a top designer Victoria is concerned about singing but she wants to make money to pump back into her business.”

Victoria’s fashion empire, launched in 2008, made a loss of £8.4million last year.

WHAT THEY'VE BEEN UP TO

Here's what the five Spice Girls have been up to since last performing together at the London Olympics in 2012.

Baby Spice

EMMA Bunton has established herself as a leading radio DJ and has her own weekend show on Heart FM from 7pm-10pm.

Ginger Spice

GERI Horner has reinvented herself as a TV presenter by fronting new BBC1 Saturday night  show All Together Now.

Scary Spice

RECENTLY divorced Mel B has made a career out of being a top talent show judge   in the UK and the  US.

Sporty Spice

MEL C’s vocals are a Spice highlight. Her last album Version of Me peaked at No25 in the charts in 2016.

Posh Spice

VICTORIA Beckham’s fashion empire made an £8.4million loss last year despite husband David’s business stepping in to subsidise it.

The  band’s debut single Wannabe hit No1 in 1996 and they went on to become the biggest-selling girl group ever — shifting more than 85million records — before splitting in 2000.

New song Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) was released in 2007 but a reunion tour had to be cut short due to  personal and family commitments.

They performed at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and appeared at the premiere of ill-fated musical Viva Forever! that December.

Spice Girls Say Sorry

It was the last time they were seen together —  although Geri has stayed  close to the rest.

She said last October: “I really pushed to get everyone back together.

It got to the point where I had to let it go. I still love the girls and there are other bits and bobs in the pipeline.”
