In their first interview since reuniting, The Spice Girls have revealed that they never asked Victoria Beckham AKA Posh Spice if she wanted to join their 2019 reunion tour. Awkward…

The remaining members sat down with Jonathan Ross for their first interview since reuniting, it will air tonight in the UK. NME reports that Mel C told Ross she’d seen Victoria recently and is quoted saying “She is still very much a part of the Spice Girls, she really supports us and we really support her. But she did raise the point that she was never actually asked. We just presumed.”

Geri also added “I spoke to her two days ago, before the announcement and she has said it for years that she just doesn’t want to do it anymore, so we knew that.” The news that Beckham wasn’t involved in the tour didn’t come as a surprise to most fans as she has refuted reunion rumours for years.

Tickets for the Spice Girls reunion tour go on sale tonight at 9:30 Sydney time and are sure to sell out. There’s currently no plans for an international tour outside of the UK, but we can dream right?
