Mel C has reiterated she won�t sully the musical heritage of the Spice Girls by cashing in on a reunion tour.

Sporty Spice admits she had a very difficult decision to make last year after being approached by the other four Spice Girls, who all wanted to reform the formerly all-conquering girl band.

Mel C had previously refused to consider a reunion tour because she didn�t want to jeopardise her new position as the only Spice Girl to forge a moderately successful solo career.

However, having seen that disappeared down the dumper following an underwhelming second album, Mel C now says she�s more concerned with preserving people�s fond memories of the Wannabe girls.

She tells The People, �I'd rather be remembered for how we were than spoil it with a reunion.

�I haven't changed my mind. I was approached earlier in the year and took a long time thinking about it. My heart and head said no. It's not something I want to do. That has not changed."
