| An insider revealed that Virgin is so keen to keep Posh, Ginger, Sporty, Scary and Baby happy, that not only are they willing to shelve out a large amount of cash, but also spend money on hiring five private jets to take each of the singers and their respective entourages to the countries they tour.

And the price is also what has swayed Mel C aka Sporty Spice. "The sum on the table is huge but then it had to be to get the more reluctant members like Mel C to agree. She's been quite precious about her solo career and has always said she'd never get back with the girls. Melanie Chisholm, "Sporty Spice", goes through her dance routine during the Spice Girls performance at the Brit Awards in London on Friday, March 3, 2000. Speaking on Sky television, Melanie Chisholm - the oldest band member who was often described as "the one who can sing" - had hinted that the group may split.

The Insider also revealed that the private jets had eased fears that the tour would mean long separations from their kids, especially as Scary and Ginger are new mums and Baby is soon to have a baby of her own. "Things have changed a lot since the girls' heyday. Back then they were all pretty much commitment-free. But now all of them apart from Mel C have kids and with that come nannies and other issues," The Insider said.

It will be the first time the band have performed together since May 1998 when Geri Halliwell quit during a 102 date world tour. Three years later in February 2001, the remaining four Spice Girls announced that they had also split. The announcement of the reunion world tour is expected to be made at the former Millennium Dome in a matter of days.
