Spice Girls reunion: Geri Horner insists Victoria Beckham IS still in the band... as Mel B reveals her daughter Phoenix thinks she's 'cool' because they are 'vintage' now
Geri Horner has insisted Victoria Beckham is still very much in the Spice Girls.
Chatting on Lorraine on Monday morning, the newly-reformed girl group reiterated that there is no bad blood between the four members going on tour, and the absent Posh Spice who is sitting it out due to her career as a fashion designer.
Each of them - Geri, Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton - insisted that Victoria is fully supportive, whether she is 'on stage or off stage' and that she won't ever not be a Spice Girl.

'Vicky is supportive on and off the stage,' Geri said. 'The five of us have always had this thing, we support each other on and off stage. We did speak to her and meet up with her and we said, "Look, you’re in the band on and off the stage, it doesn’t matter".'
'The thing is, we’re very proud of Victoria. She works incredibly hard and what she’s achieved is amazing. She will always be a Spice Girl, as we will and always have been.' added Mel C, with Mel B saying: 'I'm hopeful we'll get back together, I want to tour america too! It will work at some point!'
Mel B also spoke of her eldest daughter, Phoenix, who was born when the Spice Girls were in the latter years of their heydey.
'Phoenix says, "you're so cool, because you lot are vintage." I'll go with that, I like that!' Mel said. 'I'm forcing all of my kids to come on the road with us.'
'Me too!' Emma agreed.

Mel C added: 'I can't believe this moment has come. We like to keep [the fans] guessing.'
Indeed, the reunion has been on the cards ever since the group reformed for the Olympics closing ceremony in 2012, at which all five of them performed.
Since then - especially over the past 10 months - there have been rumours that a tour was set to happen.
'Thanks for your patience, we have got good fans!' Geri said.
'There's an electric Spice chemistry, my husband says when we come in the room its like you get a punch in your face,' Emma explained.
'We really love each other!' Geri said. 'Girl power becomes people power. It's all about equality. Last year was very dark with #metoo, but it had to happen for people to be able to heal. Now we can move onto the light.
'There's a lot of female charities who don't get a lot of funding, so we created a new power up campaign which helps organisations. We want to give women a voice!'
Meanwhile, Victoria jetted back over to Los Angeles at the weekend to accept the Fashion Icon Award at the People's Choice Awards on Sunday, where she dropped a Spice Girls reference in her speech, amid the reunion.

The rest of the Spice Girls announced their reunion tour last week, with Beckham, 44, the sole holdout, choosing to stay focused on her fashion line.
While she won't be performing with Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie Chisolm (Sporty Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) on the tour, that didn't stop her from referencing their breakthrough hit song Wannabe.
The singer and fashion designer was presented the award by actress Amber Valetta, who wore a dress designed by Beckham herself to honor the Fashion Icon.
'I always told myself, 'Dream big and then dream even bigger,'' Beckham said in her speech in front of a star-studded crowd in Santa Monica, California.
'And I wanted to show that if I can do it, anyone can do it. And what you can achieve really can be limitless if... I can't help it — if you really, really want it, okay?'

She added, 'They told me at the table, they said, 'You come all the way from London, you gotta get up there and give 'em what they want, what they really, really want.''
Her reference to the 1996 smash hit song, one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 7 million copies sold, caused the crowd to cheer.
'So many years ago, I started with girl power, and now that message is just as strong as ever but now it's through the privilege of being able to empower women through my designs,' the pop star turned fashion designer continued.
While fans were delighted by her Spice Girls nods, Victoria had earlier made it clear her singing days are long behind her.
'I do apologize for reading off of cards, but I hung up my microphone some time ago, and I get a little scared when I get on stage and I see a mic,' she said.

She also took the opportunity to praise the firefighters for doing 'an incredible job' battling the wildfires in her 'second home' of Los Angeles.
Beckham was wearing an all-white suit to the event, revealing in a red carpet interview with Guiliana Rancic that, 'this is a suit that I custom-made for myself that I'm going to put in my next collection.
Beckham added that, after the awards ceremony, she planned on meeting up with her close friend Eva Longoria to have dinner, 'just the two of us.'
Beckham also made headlines before the awards ceremony, sharing a video on her Instagram of her getting her hair cut by hairstylist Ken Paves while riding in a car on her way to the ceremony.
She arrived in Los Angeles by herfself, leaving husband David Beckham, and their four children behind in London.

Beckham rose to prominence as a member of the Spice Girls, selling over 85 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling female group of all time.
After releasing three albums in four years, 1996's Spice, 1997's Spiceworld and 2000's Forever, the group went on hiatus to focus on their solo careers.
The group reunited in 2007, with the release of their Greatest Hits album, and again in 2012, the last time the entire group performed together, during the Summer Olympics in London.
The Beckham-less U.K. reunion tour kicks off May 29, 2019 in Manchester and ends June 15 in London.
