Emma Bunton is rooting for a Spice Girls reunion – but can’t give away Too Much about when it will happen.

In an exclusive interview with Guilty Pleasures, Baby Spice addressed months of speculation that the band might perform at Glastonbury next year.

They’d been tipped for the coveted Legends spot, at Worthy Farm, following in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue and Diana Ross.

‘There’s always talking, isn’t there? “Oh, the Spices Girls are getting back,”‘ laughed 46-year-old Emma.

‘It was so funny, even last year, a really good friend of mine was at Glastonbury, and she called me and went, “Are you going to come on stage?” I’m like, “No, I’m sure I would have told you!”

‘Do you know what, obviously as the Spice Girls, we love working together, and when the time is right, things kind of happen. But I love, love, love [them], and I can’t wait till we perform again. It’s got to be right for all of us, collectively, so hopefully that’ll happen at some point soon.’

The 90s icons last toured together, sans Posh, in 2019, and earlier this week Emma was joined by bandmate Mel C for her glitzy Christmas Party show at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.

‘The whole lead-up [to performing], sometimes I feel like I haven’t done it before, I’m that nervous. But as soon as it’s all together and I hit that stage, my goodness, it’s just the best feeling,’ she gushed.
