A ladder emoji, a peace sign (holding up two fingers) and a girl with her hand raised were tweeted, leaving excited fans lingering with anticipation and speculating what the mystery message could mean. Several admirers of the girl band - who called it quits in 2000 before reuniting to tour in 2019 without 'Posh Spice' Victoria - believe that the teaser may be hinting at another reunion in the weeks to come.

Mel C has said that Geri Halliwell’s claim, in an interview back in the 1990s, that Margaret Thatcher was “the first Spice Girl” left her “nervous about going home”, given the views that are commonly held about the former UK Prime Minister in her hometown of Liverpool.In a 1996 interview with The Spectator, Halliwell claimed: “We Spice Girls are true Thatcherites. Thatcher was the first Spice Girl, the pioneer of our ideology – Girl Power”.Asked now if she agreed with that sentiment at the time, Mel C – or Melanie Chisholm – tells The Independent: “Absolutely not!

I’m not to blame!’ He’s always had a sense of humour, which is obviously important."So I’m hoping for good things. He’s quite in touch with the people."Geri has since broken her silence on the incident due to many publications claiming she had pinched the royals derriere.She told The Times: "I didn’t pinch Prince Charles’s bum, as was reported."I patted it.
