Melanie C has suggested that the Spice Girls could reconvene in 2016 to celebrate an anniversary.

The girl group released their first single in 1996 and Mel C told the Press Association that they could reunite in some form to pay tribute to their beginnings.

She said: "It's funny isn't it because people are saying it's the 20 year anniversary of the Spice Girls, and we did get together in '94, but 'Wannabe' wasn't released until '96 so we don't really see it until '96. And you might see a few of us having a little dance about on stage, no plans, but we'll see what we can do for you."

The news flies in the face somewhat of Victoria Beckham's recent insistence that she will never reunite with the Spice Girls again.

She previously said of their Olympics reunion in 2012: "I won't ever do it again. Doing the Olympics was an incredible honour. I was so proud to do it; proud to be British...That was a perfect time to say, 'That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more'. Sometimes you've got to know when it's time to leave the party."
