The ’90s band, which also includes Victoria Beckham, 48, Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown, both 47, and Geri Horner, 50, last performed as a five-piece at the London 2012 Olympics.

Mel C said: “We’re still talking, it’s just about finding a middle ground for everyone.

“Will Victoria join? I’m an optimist, so I say yes!”

“The older we get, the more the Spice Girls learn to give each other space.

“In the 90s we were on the go 24/7.

“We were young, we were ambitious, we were under a lot of pressure, we were broken and there were flare-ups.

“All bands have similar stories, but over time we just have this genuine respect and appreciation for each other.

“Because without each other we know we would never have achieved what we have achieved and we wouldn’t have the lives and careers that we have now, so it’s quite beautiful.

“I love it when bands get back together after a five or ten year break because they probably appreciate it more than ever.”

If Victoria agreed to reunite, it would mean her husband and former England captain David Beckham, 47, would be in the spotlight for his long-awaited knighthood.

In 2003, Beckham, who played 115 times for England and was captain for six years, was awarded an OBE for services to football.

He received it from the late Queen at Buckingham Palace, watched by Victoria, sons Brooklyn, 23, and Romeo, 20.
