Victoria Beckham 'snubbed' from Spice Girls reunion tour for very awkward reason
The Spice Girls are reportedly gearing up to reunite once again to mark the 30 anniversary of their debut single, Wannabe. However, it has been claimed one big star will be missing from the line-up.
Victoria Beckham, who was known as Posh Spice in the band, last performed with the group for the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony, after pleas from her fellow bandmates. But, it has been reported that, this time around, they haven't invited her to join them for the reunion tour.
It has been claimed the remaining foursome in the iconic 90s pop group, which comprises of Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie C and Mel B, are in talks to take to the stage again – but Victoria won't be joining for an awkward reason: the band's manager Simon Fuller, according to reports.
It has been claimed that Victoria, 50, and her husband David, who turned 50 in style yesterday, fell out with the music mogul, 64, with relations said to be so dire that the Beckhams 'bought themselves out of their contracts' with his company XIX Entertainment in 2018.
A source has claimed to the Daily Mail:"The Spice Girls working with Fuller means that there is absolutely no way that Victoria will be involved at all.
"It feels rather bizarre that they would beg Victoria for years and years to join them and now they have him on board, they don't approach her. Maybe they thought there would be no point, as the Beckhams and Fuller no longer have a relationship, it's over."
The source also claimed that the band "need a manager" but Simon's involvement "means there is zero chance that Victoria will be involved". They also stated that the other members of the band "know that too" so they "didn't even bother asking her now they are back with Fuller."
David Beckham parted ways with Fuller in 2018 after a 15 year working relationship. David and Victoria spent £38million buying Fuller's 33 percent stake of David's businesses to give them total control over Beckham Brand Holdings. Sources claimed at the time that there had been "issues" between the pair with their friendship falling foul of them.
Victoria then followed suit and parted ways with Fuller in August 2019. He still has shares in her fashion label but the once close relationship he shared with the Beckhams is no more.
The Beckhams reportedly chose to go to Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande's manager Scooter Braun, 38, when their son Cruz wanted to become a pop star, snubbing Fuller despite his excellent track record.
An insider explained: "They were all once so close, but various things happened between the Beckhams and Fuller. David and Victoria wanted out and Simon didn't exactly make it easy."
They added: "They got there in the end and there has been no looking back. The Spice Girls will know this and have obviously taken their chances and gone with Simon. It's all very odd, because the other girls didn't ever think much of him either."

ABBA Voyage arena set to be demolished as developers unveil plans for housing estate
ABBA Voyage has been a huge success since its launch three years ago, but now the Swedish group's digital avatars are set to be kicked out of their East London arena. I can reveal plans have been drawn up to make way for a 1,000-home neighbourhood, which would mean the venue, constructed especially for the concert spectacle, will be demolished by the end of the decade to make way for apartment blocks. 2 2 The news is likely to devastate fans, as the group have said the concert — using state-of-the-art technology to show a younger version of the group on stage — is the closest anyone will come to seeing Agnetha Faltskog, Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Bjorn Ulvaeus perform together again. It also scuppers hopes the Spice Girls could take over the arena, in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, after The Sun revealed the girl group have been planning to create their own similar digital residency. The concert is currently booking up until January 2026, although it is expected to continue for longer. The show's CEO and executive producer Michael Bolingbroke previously said: ' ABBA Voyage will certainly run for another couple of years and hopefully longer — in an ideal world we'd stay for ever.' Building work on the first two phases of a major new estate is scheduled to start next year just metres away from the arena. Real loss That will include construction on the site of the nearby hotel and bar Snoozebox, where revellers often congregate after the performances and which only has permission to stay until the end of 2025. The first homes on the site are scheduled to be completed in 2028, but earlier this year, ABBA's Bjorn said he believed the arena could remain until 2029. He explained: 'We are allowed to stay in our venue till 2029, but sales might drop, you never know.' The arena was originally built as a moveable venue, but the band later admitted they hoped the show would stay in the area. During its run, ABBA Voyage has attracted more than two million visitors and has contributed £1.4billion to the UK economy. A spokesperson for ABBA Voyage said: 'We are in constant dialogue with the London Legacy Development Corporation and Newham Council about our lease and we welcome the opportunity to stay at the arena for as long as viable. 'At present, there are no plans for any changes to be made.' It would be a real loss for it to go, but it's certainly been a massive triumph.

MasterChef Australia: Fan favourite fails to make the top five in heartbreaking exit after disastrous mushroom dish
Beloved MasterChef Australia veteran Snezana 'Snez' Calic had to hang up her apron on Sunday. The 40-year-old from Victoria, who first appeared on season 16 of the cooking competition, faced a 90 minute cooking challenge alongside the six other survivors of the Back to Win season. But after a disastrous first round when her aioli failed to come together, Snez was suffered from a lack of time. After serving up a mushroom ragu with polenta the judges were left unimpressed. Judge Andy Allen complained that the pine mushrooms were dry. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'That impacted the taste and the textures,' he said as he announced that it was Snez the judges had decided to send home. He continued, 'And in the end the lack of time showed on the plate.' 'I just wanted to survive day one,' an emotional Snez said, adding, 'how did i make it to the final six.' She later reflected on her experience. 'I felt so good, even though I was eliminated, I felt good,' the chef told Ten. 'I achieved a lot, I cooked with these legends, and I really, genuinely appreciate the judges. It was such an emotional moment and I'm so, so happy about it.' Last Sunday night, season three's Alana Lowes cooked her final dish in the Doha kitchen as she went head-to-head with Snezana, Laura Cassai and Sarah Todd in a 'dual duel'. The cook-off paired contestants together to battle it out against their opponent, cooking with the same main ingredient in a heated elimination challenge. The least impressive dish in each duo sent its chef onto the second round, fighting it out again for a place in next week's lineup. The challenge placed the contestants literally in a face-off showdown behind benches that were set up opposite each other, upping the tension in the kitchen. Speaking to Ten of her elimination, Alana said that her second time around in the MasterChef kitchen was filled with food, fun and, above all, fierce friendships, especially with fellow participant Snezana. 'I felt like this was a second opportunity to get into this kitchen and just really have fun with it, enjoy every moment,' she said. 'I would have loved to have gone further, but I just feel so satisfied with what I achieved and the dishes that the judges absolutely raved about,' she added.

"I post things like this… and sometimes I delete them. Not because I'm ashamed, but because it feels strange to show so much of myself, literally and figuratively," she said. "This isn't just about weight or a bikini photo. It's about the nights I cried in silence, the mornings I dragged myself up anyway, the countless times I thought I'd never feel like 'me' again. "The girl on the left wasn't lazy. She wasn't weak. She was just tired, of everything. "The hardest thing I ever had to do? Forgive her. For the way she coped. For the times she shut down. For the choices she made when she didn't know better." Speaking about herself now, she added: "The girl on the right? She's still tired… but she's proof that choosing yourself, even when it's messy, changes everything. "This isn't a before and after. It's a reminder, to every woman scrolling, that you're allowed to restart as many times as it takes. :) You can do anything you want too." The message comes just two days after Celebrity Bear Hunt star and former rugby ace Danny confirmed he had reunited with his ex, actress AnnaLynne McCord, with a birthday tribute and a red carpet appearance. In a seeming jab at Victoria, Danny had set a carousel of romantic snaps with AnnaLynne to Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd - which had been their wedding song. In a statement shared with The Sun, Victoria said: 'The song Danny used in that birthday post for his girlfriend? That's actually our wedding song. Danny Cipriani calls new girlfriend 'a miracle' as they share loved up video montage of them snogging in back of a taxi "We played it all throughout our marriage so it was a huge shock for me to see yesterday. "But it just shows the level of detachment. If it wasn't so absurd, it'd be hilarious. "He's given me his whole rugby career, everything he ever owns, including trophies, clothes, lanyard, etc. "Now he's giving away our wedding song!" Victoria and Danny split in 2023 after two-and-a-half years of marriage, with Victoria accusing him of 'inappropriate behaviour' other women. Danny has denied ever cheating on Victoria, but she is now selling all his sports career memorabilia after he left it in her possession.
