EXCLUSIVE: Mel C joins Spice Reunion

Mel C is set to get back with the Spice Girls after being persuaded by Leeds finest export Kaiser Chiefs.

MTV2 spoke to the group at this weekends Rock Am Ring festival in Germany. Drummer Nick Hodgson recalled a recent meeting with Mel C:

I said to her When is the Spice Girls reunion gonna happen? and she said I dont know.

The Ruby hitmaker continued: I said you should do it- now is the perfect time. Mel said Do you really think? Honestly? and I said Yeah.

And just when you thought this was some wind-up from the Leeds group Nick reveals:

So she said: right Ill do it. And I asked Are you kidding? and she said No.

The former Sporty Spice has made no secret of not wanting to join Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri and Emma in a reunion.

Last month the girl power gang (minus Chisolm) were spotted at a recording studio and rumours persist that theyre to reunite for a tour.

Now it bizarrely looks like one of the UKs top indie groups has got The Spice Girls back together!

Nick, who writes Kaiser Chiefs songs told us: She thinks it (reforming) is really un-cool but she thinks we are cool for some reason! So if there is a Spice Girls reunion you can thank us for it.

Er thank might not be the right word Nick, you could take all the blame!
