Mel B ‘to be joined by fellow Spice Girl’ at Judges’ Houses

Emma Bunton will reportedly be joining Mel B at the Judges’ Houses stage of this year’s X Factor.

Mel B was said to be hoping to hold a mini-Spice Girls reunion on the ITV singing contest, but Victoria Beckham, Mel C and Geri Halliwell have all reportedly declined to take part, leaving Emma Bunton to represent the band by herself.

“Mel was desperate to get at least one of the Spice Girls to join her,” a source told The Sun. “She is not one for giving up and badgered Emma. Mel is thrilled she will now have her pal with her.”

The pair will apparently be travelling to Cancun, Mexico for Judges’ Houses, where they will reportedly have to choose which three boys to take through to the live stages of the show.

Meanwhile, Claire from Steps has responded to a shady comment made about the group by Simon Cowell during last week’s episode of The X Factor – find out more here. 

The X Factor continues tonight (September 6) at 8pm on ITV.
