Spice Girls could be set to stage a second reunion at next summer's football World Cup in South Africa.

Mel B – aka Scary Spice – and husband Stephen Belafonte are said to be in talks for the girl group to perform at the event.

According to The Sun newspaper, Scary has already won the support of Geri Halliwell, Mel C and Emma Bunton, but has yet to convince Victoria Beckham.

"Mel's determined to get the girls back together for the World Cup and wants them to plough ahead as a foursome if Victoria doesn't want to take part,” a source said.

"She has got the others excited by the idea of a one-off appearance. They are very interested."

The Spice Girls stunned fans when they reunited in 2007 for a string of tour dates across Europe and the US.
