Emma Bunton reveals ALL FIVE Spice Girls reunited for a socially-distanced walk in the woods last week... with Mel C, Victoria Beckham, Geri Horner and Mel B donning their wellies for the hike
Emma Bunton has revealed that all five of the Spice Girls reunited last week for a socially-distanced walk in the woods.
Speaking on her Sunday evening Heart FM radio show, Emma, 44, told listeners that Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Victoria Beckham donned their wellies and headed off for a hike together.
Referring to the COVID-19 lockdown, Baby Spice said: 'As things slowly, slowly start to get back to normal and we’ve all started to meet up with friends again haven’t we?

'Which is strange… I actually started to think I would never see them again… well unless it was on Zoom calls. And this week, yes, I finally got to meet up with Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Victoria!
'Now you may think we propped up a bar somewhere or had drinks in the garden but no! We went on a social distancing walk in the woods, yes!'
Emma - who hosts a show on Heart every Sunday between 7-10PM - drew comparisons between summer 2019 and summer 2020, and how the girl group - minus Victoria, 46 - were wrapping up their reunion tour just 12 months ago.
'This time last year we were performing at Wembley all glammed up. Well this year we were in wellies… walking in the rain… Yes, something you don’t see every day – five Spice Girls in their wellies!'

Sadly, none of the girls have shared snaps of the woodland reunion, with the band clearly aiming to keep this gathering private.
The group were last seen as a five-piece when they met at the London home of Geri, 47, in February 2018, when its believed they discussed plans for their 2019 reunion tour and an animated film based on their Posh, Scary, Baby, Ginger and Sporty Spice personas.
While Victoria didn't end up on the tour with the other girls, the animation is still said to be in the works.
Their gathering in 2018 was highly-publicised, and the girls are said to be in constant communication with one another behind-the-scenes as a fivesome, with a group chat in place.

Emma and Victoria spent time together last Christmas at the Beckham family's home in the Cotswolds, while both Emma and Geri were there again for Victoria's son Brooklyn's 21st birthday party in March, weeks before the UK went into lockdown.
Despite last week's walk involving all five of the band, Victoria has reportedly ruled out a return to the stage yet again.
The group are said to be mulling over plans for 2021, to mark 25 years since they burst into the charts, following their super-successful tour in 2019.
But Victoria - who sat out the last reunion - is said to be standing firm on her decision not to perform with the group again, leaving it to just the remaining four.

'Of course, we respect Victoria's decision, and her feeling towards it. Although she wasn't with us on the stage, she was very much involved in the show.

'Obviously, [this year] has gone nuts and no one knows what's gonna happen with shows, for now.
'But personally for me, speaking on my own behalf, I would love to do Spice Girls shows in the US, in South America, in South East Asia, and get into Australia finally. All those places we never got to, as well as the US because I love to be there.'
She was also asked about the prospect of new music, to which she went on: 'We have such an incredible back catalog and people love our music; we don't want to produce anything that's not of the standard of our other work.
'We talk about it tentatively and we're like, "You know what? We're not gonna force the issue on that one." We'd rather it happen organically.'
