Mel C has hit out at reports that the Spice Girls have reunited just to give their bank balances a boost.

The Spices are set to make a staggering �20m each from their series of live shows in a comeback that they say will be �bigger than Take That�s.�

However, Sporty insists that friendship rather than money is behind their decision to reunite.

She says: "We experienced something so unique together that we're always going to have a bond, no matter how long it is between seeing each other.

�Sometimes we might fall out, but we love each other and always get back together, as you can see."

The newly reformed Spices will be performing 11 shows in around the world, starting in December.
