Los Angeles: Popular band Spice Girls have said they are reuniting and planning to work on “new opportunities together”.

“We have enjoyed a wonderful afternoon catching up and reminiscing about the amazing times we have spent together.

“We all agree that there are many exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of The Spice Girls, while reinforcing our message of female empowerment for future generations,” the group said.

Beckham posted the photograph of the girl group on Instagram and posted, “Love my girls. Many kisses. Exciting”.
