The not-so-big reunion! Mel B fails to entice Spice Girls to X Factor

[dropcap]R[/dropcap]UMOURS swirled that we would be treated to yet another Spice Girls reunion via the X Factor judges’ houses stage. New judge Mel B wanted one – or all four – of her former bandmates to help her whittle her boys category down to just three finalists. But now, it appears that Posh, Baby, Ginger and Sporty are all too busy to help out Scary Spice. An insider told The Sun: “All the Spice Girls have been approached to join Mel, as she thinks it would be great to have a reunion on the show. “Victoria has already indicated she won’t be able to do it” “But Mel is realistic that it’s a long way to travel and the other girls have commitments.” One of Mel’s popstar pals – in the form of a superstar designer – has already pulled herself from the running. The source added: “Victoria has already indicated she won’t be able to do it but Mel hopes at least one of the others will help her out.” Mel hinted that she could be reuniting with Victoria Beckham on the show after posting a throwback picture of the pair reading: “Watch out – we mean business.” The Word Up singer has also shared old pictures of herself posing with Geri Halliwell, as well as the whole group. The judges’ houses stage kicks off later this week, when Louis Walsh will jet off to a place other than Dublin. Shocker! The Irish judge is taking the groups to Bermuda, where he will be joined by former co-judge Tulisa. Simon Cowell is most likely going to be joined by a ridiculously dressed Sinitta in LA, while Cheryl is rumoured to be taking will.i.am to the South of France.
