During an interview for AlanCarr's New Year's Specstacular, Mel B a.k.a Scary Spice teased that a reunion might be awaiting fans in the New Year. "To be serious, it is our 20th anniversary this year," she said, "and it would be rude not to celebrate, so hopefully something will be happeningpretty soon.”
Back in August, the America’s Got Talent judge stopped bythe Today Show to discuss a possible reunion. At the time she said, “You know,when you say it’s our 20th anniversary coming up, it does make you think, ‘Oh,my Gosh! It really has been that long. Hopefully, you know, we’ll gather thetroops around and we’ll get to do something to celebrate it next year.”
