Will they follow in the Spice Girls’ footsteps?

With the Spice Girls back together and set to kick off their Spice World 2019 tour next week, we’re hoping Girls Aloud might have been inspired to reunite by former Popstars: The Rivals judge Geri Horner and co.

Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding and Cheryl split following their Ten: The Hits Tour in 2013; but now Kimberley’s admitted a reunion isn’t completely out of the question 'in the future.'

Mel’s sex claims

Mel B, 43, sensationally revealed last week that she'd had a boozy night of passion with Geri, 46 – who is said to be furious with her, as her daughter Bluebell, 13, could read the story. A worried Mel C, 45, hinted the fallout could ruin the reunion, responding to Mel B's exposé by saying, "That's it then, the tour is off."

Geri’s posh new life

Geri married F1 boss Christian Horner in 2015 and replaced the tongue-poking andpeace-signs with spiritualism sessionsand cookery classes. She has a society neighbour, Lady Joanna Wellesley, and a menagerie of goats and donkeys at her country manor. She also reportedly stopped a photo shoot with the Spices so she could meditate – and her new lifestyle is said to have irked Northern lass Mel B.

Manager fallout

The Spices sacked old boss Simon Fuller in 1997, amid reports he'd had a relationship with Emma Bunton, 43 – which they both denied – but he's involved with the tour in partnership with Mel C's Modest Management agency. He's also responsible for Brand Beckham – which won't sit well with the girls if they reportedly continue to clash with Posh, 44.

Post & Mel B's feud

Fans want a guest appearance fromPosh, but she doesn't get on with Mel B. Mel reportedly described Posh as "a bit of a bitch" in an interview last month, and allegedly told her to "f*** off" during a phone call last year. She then dressed up as her for Halloween. Posh also said the girls used to switch off her mic on-stage!

Nerves over past humiliation

Their 2007 comeback single Headlines was a flop, limping into the charts at number 20, and they fear the same will happen with the tour. Emma suffered anxiety before tickets went on sale, while Geri is reportedly taking singing lessons to avoid embarrassment.

Fury at Jess Glynne payout

Allegedly without the girls' say so, tour managers booked Jess Glynne as their support act, agreeing to a hefty £1.3million fee. The Spice Girls, who are rumoured to be pocketing £2.2m each, are said to be furious, suggesting tensions will rise in the dressing rooms. Jess, however, said she only agreed to the tour as she was such a massive Spice Girls fan and wanted to "hang out" with them.

Wardrobe woes

Stage costumes are causing problems as the foursome struggle to agree whether their fans want to see them wearing their '90s outfits – think Union Jack dresses – or more grown-up attire. While Mel B is apparently "desperate to relaunch herself as an edgy, sexy star to compete with the likes of Rita Ora", Geri wants a more wholesome image to appeal to the older, original fans.

Victoria is still cashing in

It's no secret that money is a big motivation for the tour. But Victoria will still make millions without stepping foot on stage, as she owns an equal stake in the band's brand. This has reportedly caused fury among the band members.

A fifth spice?

The Girls are reportedly discussing having a "fifth Spice". Comedian Jack Whitehall and superfan Adele have offered their services, while The X Factor's Saara Aalto revealed Mel C told her she could join. But would that mean splitting their earnings even further?

Old animosities

Although Emma is seen as the sweet one, she's no pushover. She may have forgiven Geri for quitting the band in 2003, but reveals that she won't stay quiet if the Girls squabble. "I was never afraid to say exactly what I thought. It's still the same now," she said recently.

Asked if there’s any chance of the group working together again at This Morning Live, Kimberley told heatworld: "It’s not looking that way right now because we’re quite busy, but who knows in the future?

"Right now I don’t even feel like we’ve been split up that long. People keep asking us and I’m like 'oh, but we only just finished; give us a bit of time to miss it!'"

But while we might be waiting a while for a Girls Aloud tour, Kimberley’s hoping to catch her old pal Geri and the rest of the Spice Girls at one of their stadium shows this summer.

"I definitely want to be there singing along. I do love 2 Become 1, but because of my age Wannabe is the most nostalgic. Because I’m older, that’s the one that got me the most. I do love it when they do that, too."

Meanwhile, Kimberley’s busy working on her children’s clothing line Kimba Kids.

She said: "It came about from me being bored of the boys clothes that are out there. I’ve obviously got two boys, so I started developing the brand with my brother because he works in that arena already. That was handy for me.

"We developed Kimba Kids, launched last July and it’s going really well."

Kimberley also discussed her 'play dates' with Cheryl and her son Bear, saying: "All of my friends have got kids the same age, so I’m really lucky. I see all my friends with kids; obviously Cheryl, Denise Van Outen has got a little girl. My boys love older girls, so we love doing play dates with her as well. It’s great."

Asked if we’ll see Bear modelling her Kimba Kids clothing line, she explained: "He’s not old enough yet, but I’ve just started developing babywear as well so we’ll have a range for three months to three-year-olds. We can hook up Cole and Bear when that comes in."

CUTE.
