Mel B has revealed that a planned Netflix documentary about the Spice Girls has been shelved. The 51-year-old singer appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain, where she told host Susanna Reid: 'Well, I don't think anything's happening, I think something was, but I don't think it's actually going to be happening now after all, which is a shame.'
When pressed on why the project had been axed, Mel B replied: 'I'll tell you in the dressing room!' The documentary would have focused on the rise of the Spice Girls, but Mel indicated that not all band members were willing to participate. She told Hello! magazine: 'I think we've all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point. But it has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest - and not everybody wants to be honest.'
In addition to the documentary, Mel B also cast doubt on a potential Spice Girls reunion tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough hit Wannabe. She said: 'I think you know if it's going to happen, it will happen, and I'm always for a Spice Girls reunion, don't get me wrong.' However, she later told Hello!: 'I can tell you that it's not happening. If it does, it'll be a shock to me, let's put it that way.'
Mel B explained that she has stopped pushing for a tour, saying: 'You can't be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don't want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50.' The Spice Girls—Mel B, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie C, and Victoria Beckham—dominated the charts in the 1990s, but a full reunion has proved elusive.
