The Spice Girls have been taking pole dancing lessons in a London nightclub.
The reunited girl group - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Mel C - want to include a raunchy routine on their forthcoming world tour.
They are determined to make the dance as racy as possible so they attended a masterclass at the infamous Soho Revue Bar - a former lapdancing club.
A source said: "The girls all agreed that a pole dancing section in the show would be fabulous and sexy. And they wanted to get some proper lessons from professional dancers.
"They chose the Soho Revue Bar with all its fabulous kitsch décor and they liked the idea of something a bit seedy."
The girls will be joined by an all-American male dance crew for the steamy segment.
The band - who have not worked together as a five-piece since 1998 after Geri sensationally quit - recently started rehearsing for the shows, which kick-off in Vancouver, Canada, on December 2.
Victoria has revealed Mel B is having trouble remembering the words to new song 'Headlines'.
She said: "It has been really good fun. Everyone was on really good form and it was great. I'm not going to say I wasn't nervous because it has been so long since we were together, but it was like we'd never split up.
"We were doing the video the other day and Mel B couldn't remember the words!"
Meanwhile, Mel C says the Spice Girls tour is "no place for a baby". The 33-year-old singer - who is the only Spice Girl yet to become a mother - has hit out at her bandmates for bringing their children on tour.
Mel told Britain's Closer magazine: "Travelling around the world and living out of a suitcase is no place for a baby. I feel that if I'm lucky enough to be blessed with a kid, then I want to be a regular mother.
"I'd want to be at home taking them to school and being there full-time. I wouldn't want to be travelling all over the world with them strapped to my back. I'm not criticising anyone else. That's just how I'd want it."
Victoria Beckham has three sons - Brooklyn, eight, five-year-old Romeo and Cruz, two - with soccer star husband David Beckham.
Mel B has an eight-year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, and a six-month-old daughter, Angel Iris, with former lover Eddie Murphy.
Geri Halliwell gave birth to daughter Bluebell Madonna in May 2006, while Emma Bunton welcomed her son Beau into the world in August.
Mel C revealed she is particularly worried about how Emma will cope taking her newborn son on the road with her.
She said: "I am sure Emma is nervous about taking Beau on tour because he'll only be three-months-old." |
