Victoria Beckham reportedly ordered Geri Halliwell (and daughter Bluebell), Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton (and her impending offspring) to move to Los Angeles for rehearsals for the Spice Girls reunion tour - or they’d have to do the comeback without her.

Victoria (and her family) are set to move to California later this month and Victoria is keen to be around for husband David Beckham’s first few games with new team LA Galaxy later in the summer. Melanie Brown, and her daughters Phoenix and Angel, already live in the city.

An inside source told the Mirror this week that the UK-based three are not happy with the demand and it’s created yet more tension between the girls but “there was no way Victoria would agree if it meant she had to schlep back and forth to London”.

The group’s short reunion world tour will kick off in the city on 7th December and they are expected to release a new single around the same time in a bid of the UK Christmas number one.
