JUST when the SPICE GIRLS outfits were safely tucked away in the loft, it's time to start digging them out again.
MEL B, with the help of her fella STEPHEN BELAFONTE, are masterminding a full-scale comeback.
I say full-scale but one member of the line-up is resisting the invitation.
VICTORIA BECKHAM has made it clear to the girls she won't have the time - or desire - to uproot her family again for more fun and games with her old pals.
But Mel B, MEL C and GERI HALLIWELL are getting together next week regardless, with fellow bandmate EMMA BUNTON. Baby is a little reluctant to commit to going on the road but the others are sure they can talk her round.
A source said: "This time next year at least four of the five girls will be back on stage doing the Spice material again.
"Both the Mels and Geri are the driving force behind making it happen.
"They have agreed to meet up again next week and thrash out their plans for the future of the Spice empire.
"Emma is being cautious but the minute she's with the girls they'll talk her round. When Geri left the first time, she was arguably the band's biggest star.
"If they coped without her, they are confident they can make it work without Posh."
But the popularity stakes have changed since the Nineties. Posh was definitely the star attraction on the 2007 tour.
I revealed a couple of weeks back that Mel and Stephen had discussed a one-off Spice Girls appearance at the World Cup in South Africa next summer.
It sounds like the response has encouraged talks about another big comeback.
I went on tour with the girls to Toronto and Las Vegas.
It was a right old laugh and I reckon there's a bit of mileage in the old Spices yet. But next year is far too soon.
In ten years, the novelty factor will be far better and the cheque fatter.
I'd pay for my nippers to go to see Mel B in her catsuit at 50 when the toned tum is more "lardy Leeds lass".
