Mel C has suggested that Victoria Beckham may actually reunite with The Spice Girls for Glastonbury Festival in the future.
Victoria hasn’t performed with the Spice Girls in years, and skipped the band’s 2019 reunion tour, so to see them back as a five-piece would be no small thing.
Mel, 48, said on Friday that it would be ‘the dream’ for the group to play at the annual festival next year and has a ‘good feeling’ Victoria would join them.
She said: ‘It’s the dream, the absolute dream, we would love to do it [play Glasto].
‘The girls and I, we have chatted about it, it’s the biggest stage in the world, we have the best festival in the world right here…
When asked if Victoria, 48, aka Posh Spice, would join them, she exclaimed: ‘I have a good feeling [she would]’
The mother-of-one played Spice Girl anthems Who Do You Think You Are and Spice Up Your Life during her Glastonbury DJ set on the festival’s William’s Green stage on Thursday evening.

Speaking about the gig, she added to BBC Breakfast: ‘I didn’t expect it to be as big as it was and as many people to be going as nuts as they did, it was a wonderful introduction to Glastonbury.
‘It’s amazing because the wonderful thing about Glastonbury is there is something for everyone.
‘There is so many musical styles and when you drop a Spice Girls song you think: how is it going to go? But people loved it, it was wonderful.’
The star, known as Sporty Spice, wore an Alexa play Spice Girls T-shirt during her DJ set.

She also said that Billie Eilish, who will be the festival’s youngest solo headliner when she hits the Pyramid stage on Friday evening, will ‘blow everyone away’.
‘The thing is, Billie just has it naturally,’ she said. ‘I think she wrote her first single when she was 14 and since she was a teenager she has been doing big gigs.
‘She’s had a lot of pressure on her shoulders so even though she is very young she is very experienced.’
On Sir Paul McCartney, who will be the oldest headliner when he plays at Glastonbury on Saturday, she added: ‘He is still out there doing it, he is incredible and I think everyone has to see Paul McCartney in their lifetime.
‘To see him here at Glastonbury will be incredible.’

Mel, whose other band members are Mel B, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton, announced she will be taking to the Other Stage on Friday with pop band Blossoms for a Spice Girls song during their third Glastonbury set, calling them the Spicey Blossoms.
The Spice Girls last reunion was in 2019 – minus Victoria.
Last year Mel told the Celebrity Search Engine podcast the girl band have bizarrely never been approached by Glasto to perform, despite the rumours.
She also spoke about the possibility of another Spice Girls tour, saying: ‘I can’t speak for everybody but if it was down to me, as soon as we can, we will.
‘The success of the shows in 2019 and just how much we loved it, we have to do it. If we don’t do it, I’ll be very, very cross!’
