Spice Girl reunion 'not happening' says Bunton

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton has denied the group have agreed to reunite for a tour next year.

The Sun reported four of the five band members would be getting back together in 2016 - without Victoria Beckham - for an international tour.

But on her radio show, Bunton insisted "nothing's happening at the moment".

Journalist Dan Wootton, who broke the story, later tweeted "no official announcement will come until later this year".

Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Bunton were reported to be planning a reunion tour, 20 years after their first hit Wannabe in 1996.

"If anything happens and it's concrete, and we decide on something, I will let you know," Bunton said on Heart FM on Friday morning.

Mel C tweeted: "Woke up this morning wondering whether I need to start practising my backflips???!!!"

To which Bunton replied: "Do I need to put my pigtails in?!?!?"
