Mel B said she "loves" badgering her former Spice Girls bandmates about a reunion tour in a TikTok video posted shortly after the group announced a surprise collaboration with the England women's rugby team.
In a short clip shared on Monday, the 50-year-old singer took part in a viral trend listing things she "unfortunately do love," including "asking the Spice group when we are going on tour" alongside items such as "dressing like it's the 90s" and "meditating every day." The post was captioned, "Yepp I really do!!" and drew a stream of fan replies urging a full reunion and tour announcement.
The TikTok came in the wake of the group's joint announcement that they have partnered with the England Rugby team's Red Roses on a licensed merchandise range. The collection, released by England Rugby partners, will feature a jersey, track jacket and bomber, plus T-shirts, hoodies, accessories and a limited-edition Red Roses and Spice Girls rugby ball.
In a joint statement, the Spice Girls said they were "excited to partner with the Red Roses in supporting women's sport, particularly as this year for the first time in history there will be a female president of the RFU - that's incredible Girl Power!" The group added they hoped "the whole country will join us in cheering on the team at the Rugby World Cup, as they build on their great start."
Zoe Aldcroft, captain of the Red Roses, welcomed the partnership and highlighted shared values between the team and the band. "This is an important year for us as a team and it's fantastic to partner with a band which shares the same values as us," Aldcroft said, noting the role the collaboration could play in inspiring more young people to take up rugby and in expanding the sport's audience.
Fan reaction online was immediate. One TikTok user wrote, "Asking for a tour is necessary and every 90s kid is asking the same," while others thanked members Mel C and Emma Bunton for "keeping the spice dream alive" and urged the group to keep pressing for a tour "every year for the next 50 years." Several commenters expressed impatience for formal tour news.
The merchandise tie-in and Mel B's video come amid periodic speculation about a full Spice Girls reunion. Media reports in April said members had discussed a possible 30th-anniversary world tour, with four members—Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C—reported to have met in Miami to explore planning. Those reports suggested Victoria Beckham was likely to sit out, though the group has not confirmed any tour dates or a formal reunion.
Earlier reports also indicated renewed contact between Geri Horner and former band manager Simon Fuller, but organisers have stopped short of confirming plans. The group has frequently been the subject of reunion rumours since their 1990s heyday, with individual members periodically commenting on the possibility; no official tour or dates have been announced.
For now, the new licensed collection with the Red Roses and Mel B's lighthearted social media post have amplified public interest in the band's future, keeping reunion talk in the headlines and prompting fans to continue calling for a full-scale return to the stage.
