As the Spice Girls approach their 30th anniversary, news that they won’t be touring seems to have been confirmed by an unlikely source. In a recent interview, model Cara Delevingne recalled bumping into Victoria Beckham at Glastonbury and asking her whether the Spice Girls were getting back together – and apparently Posh was less than impressed.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Cara, 31, said, “I pestered Victoria Beckham about [a reunion] once at Glastonbury. She was like, ‘Please stop talking to me about that’.”
And now an insider says that Posh was less than impressed that the incident has been made public. The source says, “Vic was absolutely mortified that Cara not only revealed what she said, but also mentioned the frosty reaction, which she feels tarnishes her image by making her seem angry.”
While the Spice Girls are often asked about a reunion and still have no official plans to celebrate their anniversary – having last performed together at Victoria’s 50th birthday party in April – insiders say her reaction to Cara’s question had more behind it.
Apparently, part of Victoria’s frustration with Cara stems from when her husband David was spotted partying in LA with Cara’s sister, Poppy Delevingne, 38, back in 2017. David and Poppy were seen leaving a West Hollywood bar looking worse for wear and it’s possible that Victoria had that memory in her mind while speaking to her sister at Glastonbury.
“Vic might have remembered David’s night out partying with Cara’s sister, Poppy, and while Cara had nothing to do with it, it’s possible that might have affected the way she spoke to her,” the source adds.
Meanwhile, David is also said to be annoyed that old stories are being brought back up given that he and Victoria have dealt with them already.
“That whole thing about Poppy had been blown way out of proportion at the time, which David had apparently repeatedly told Vic,” the source reveals. “The last thing she wants is to be part of the reason for putting that story back in the public eye. She also doesn’t want anyone to be tarnishing her name among her A-list friendship circle, so she’s planning to reach out to Cara and and offer an olive branch, just so that they can put it in the past.”
As for the sought-after reunion and hopes for a concert, Posh recently poured cold water on the idea, revealing, “We have a group chat and I do speak to all the girls. It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate [the 30th anniversary] – a dinner or a lunch – and reminisce. But yes, it will not be any more than that.”
