Victoria Beckham is leading the charge with a Spice Girls reunion according to Scary Spice Mel B.

While Posh Spice did not appear alongside Sporty, Ginger and Baby for the 2019 reunion tour, she is ready to go this time round.

“We are doing something together as the Spice Girls and it has always been me kind of championing everybody together,” Mel B told The Daily Telegraph.

“But this time it was actually Victoria that was saying, ‘come on, lets all do something’. So we have got something in the works, which will be announced soon.”

The five original Spice Girls – Mel B, Beckham, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton – last appeared on stage together at the 2012 London Olympics.

“It is about f***ing time,” Mel B said of the new project.

Mel B, 48, sat down with the Telegraph on set of the top rating The Masked Singer reality show, for which the next season will screen on Channel 10 later this year.

She has spent the past few weeks filming the show at Sydney’s Disney Studios alongside fellow judges Chrissie Swan, Abbie Chatfield and Dave Hughes.

The Masked Singer sees celebrities competing in a singing competition with their identity withheld as they perform inside giant costumes.

“It is everything you would want from a show,” she said.

“It is just fun, I get to dress up, put my heals on, and I get to watch this show. It is just silly and fun. Plus, this time round I get to bring my Spice Girls outfits from the 1998 tour … and they still fit.”

FBoy Island twist: $50k ‘Nice guy’ in explosive claim

Nice guy, nice try.

After splitting the $50,000 prize money with Molly O'Halloran in the explosive season finale of hit BINGE series FBoy Island, Confidential can reveal Nick Brown broke it off with a woman he’d been seeing days out from filming the reality show.

FBoy Island saw 24 men vying for the affections of three women, the catch being that half were nice guys and the other ‘fboys’ or players.

Brown went on the show as a ‘nice guy’ and told O’Halloran he had not been in a relationship for two years.

Confidential has learnt though that Brown, 25, dated 21-year-old Sydney childcare worker Ruby Sharan for more than nine months in the year before filming began in February.

At the end of January in fact, the pair holidayed on Hamilton Island with her parents, siblings and a group extended family and friends.

The pair then spent time together as a couple from February 3 to 5 at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast with Sharan gifting Brown the trip for his birthday.

He began shooting FBoy Island in mid-February.

When asked about the relationship with Sharan, Brown said: “I was casually seeing Ruby, she understood the situation. While I was seeing Ruby for a short period of time, it wasn’t a relationship, it was just casual.

“I am still a 25-year-old male, and we got along well, that was cool but she knew from the start I didn’t want a relationship.

“I was going to be going overseas eventually to pursue my rugby career and that is still on the cards now. And she knew that I was going for this. That was what it was.”

Brown plays rugby for the Manly Marlins and after winning the show, he and O’Halloran, an occupational therapist, said she was looking to move to Sydney from Melbourne to continue their romance.

Sharan would not comment when contacted. A close friend named Ashley however said the pair were dating until he began shooting FBoy Island in February.

“He was at Ruby’s 21st, came on holidays with the family to Hamilton Island in January and never left each other’s side,” she said. “It was his birthday in Hamilton Island as well and Ruby took him to an dinner at some expensive restaurant and spent over $700 for it.”

O’Halloran chose Brown over runner-up Vernon Lyon, who was an ‘FBoy’ that broke up with his girlfriend to go on the show.

Speaking to Confidential ahead of the finale, O’Halloran and Brown said they were planning a number of trips together to Bali and Fiji.

Marriage though is not on the cards for Brown, 25.

“Marriage is not really in my mindset at the moment but we are definitely planning things together. We are planning things together but we haven’t talked about that (marriage).”

Of their future together, O’Halloran, 27, said: “I am not here for just a fling or a two second relationship, I am an all or nothing type of girl. So definitely I wouldn’t enter into a relationship if I didn’t think that was the end goal but we are not wanting to rush things and put pressure on the relationship. We are wanting to have fun and get to know each other better.”
