Melanie C wants to carrying on performing in the Spice Girls – minus Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell.

The singer has expressed her disappointment over the decision to scrap tour dates in China, South Africa, Australia and Argentina so her bandmates could spend more time with their families.

In a recent statement, Mel C insisted that the curtailed comeback tour wasn't her decision, adding fuel to rumours of a rift in the group.

Now the singer has revealed that she wants to team up again with Baby Spice Emma Bunton and Scary Spice Melanie B for live shows.

She tells WENN: "If they'd be up for it - I think it would be lovely. I enjoy singing with the girls. It would be great. I've always liked singing with Melanie B.

“We did a duet on the first world tour with the Spice Girls and I think our voices work well together. And also Emma. Our voices work well together too."
