The Spice Girls are reportedly reuniting yet again to celebrate their 25th anniversary for what could possibly be their most exciting get-together yet.
Mel B, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Mel C are believed to be organising a reunion to remake their famous 1996 ‘Wannabe’ music video to mark a quarter of a century since they formed their girls’ group.
The Sun reports that the women are hoping to reshoot the video, which was filmed in the entrance to and on the staircase of the former Midland Grand Hotel in St Pancras, London, after Covid-19 forced them to cancel their celebratory tour plans. The news is yet to be confirmed by the band and their representatives.

However, it’s reportedly ‘exceedingly unlikely’ that fashion designer Victoria Beckham will be involved if the reshoot does go ahead.
'Wannabe', which hit number one in the music charts in 1996, was the group’s best-selling song.
In January last year, Bunton – known commonly as ‘Baby Spice’ - shared a photograph on Instagram of herself on the staircase of the famous hotel, describing it as a 'special place'.
Bunton opened up about her friendship with her bandmates this summer, admitting on her Heart FM radio show that all five members of the Spice Girls recently enjoyed a socially-distanced walk in the woods.
'As things slowly, slowly start to get back to normal and we've all started to meet up with friends again haven't we?' she told her listeners.
'Which is strange… I actually started to think I would never see them again… well unless it was on Zoom calls. And this week, yes, I finally got to meet up with Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Victoria!
'Now you may think we propped up a bar somewhere or had drinks in the garden but no! We went on a social distancing walk in the woods, yes!'
In a recent interview on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show discussing the possibility of a Spice Girls world tour next year, Mel C said the band members are ‘having to wait and see what happens’.
She continued: 'You know, the Spice shows are so huge and so many tours have been moved to next year. We're talking about it constantly so as soon as we have any news on that front I will let you know.'
In April, the singer noted that she would love to go back on tour with the Girls, following the success of their UK reunion tour last year.
In July, Channel 4 announced an upcoming working title documentary called, Girl Powered: The Spice Girls was on its way, which will document the origins of the group and their journey to their reunion tour last year.
