"Their comeback is still the talk of the town and everyone knows it’s going to be huge. Having one of the Spice Girls taking part would be the cherry on the cake this year."

Mel B may also be off the list as she took part in America’s version ‘Dancing With the Stars’, in which she finished runner up, in 2007 and probably won’t do it again.
With those three out already, it looks like Geri Horner and Mel C are the only ones left to approach but bosses will have to work extra hard if they want to secure the ginger singer as she previously admitted, although she loves the show, she would struggle.
She said recently: "When I was in the Spice Girls, having to learn dance routines when I’m not a trained dancer was very full-on. It would take me longer than it took everybody else and it was hard work. I love dancing but having to learn moves…"
