Spice Girls’ Emma Bunton and Mel B ‘reunite for surprise music project alongside pop legends’
A Spice Girls reunion may not be on the cards for anytime soon.
But fans will be glad to know that two members of the hit girlband are said to be joining forces once again to star on a new K-pop TV series.
Emma Bunton and Mel B reportedly flew to Seoul in November last year to take part in a reality show, collaborating with K-pop idols.
The eight-episode Apple TV+ series, named KPOPPED, is being executively produced by music icon Lionel Richie and is set to air later this year.
The format sees Western musical legends collaborating with the biggest K-pop artists to reimagine one of their greatest hits in a K-pop style, with a live audience voting for the winner of the best new song.
Apple have already announced that Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion will be performing on the show, as well as serving as an executive producer.
While South Korean star Psy, who soared to fame with his international 2012 megahit Gangnam Style, will also appear on the series.
And now The Sun has claimed that the show’s star-power is even more off the chart, with Emma and Mel, both 49, also starring, as well as fellow Brit Boy George.
A music insider told the publication: ‘A Spice Girls reunion is a way off. So having Emma and Mel back on stage singing a Spice Girls song together might be the closest fans get to a comeback, even though it will be with K-pop stars rather than Geri Horner, Melanie C and Victoria Beckham.
‘They flew to South Korea at the end of last year and were on set for quite a few days as they battled it out with other pop veterans.
‘With them alone on board, it is a big show. But there’s also Boy George and loads of other chart-topping stars, which will be enough to encourage people to tune in.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Emma and Mel for comment.
Fellow Spice Girl Melanie C hinted that the band could do something special next year to mark the 30-year anniversary of their debut album, Spice.
The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria Beckham missing out.
