This is Steve Allen's A Little Bit Extra, leading Britain's conversation.

You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today.

20 million downloads. Cannot be wrong.

I'll just mention that.

I told Zora Suleiman, she went, 20 million.

I said, well, that's what I thought.

Only goes to prove we've been right all the time.

So, where do we start today in the wonderful world of show business?

Well, believe it or not, it's the tattie old story that the Spice Girls are in confidential talks to front a world tour.

As a four-piece, they're setting their sights on Vic joining them for one show.

Why would she want to? Why would she want to? She's not remotely

interested. Also, I love the idea that they were in very confidential talk. So they held it at a very

public hotel, the Mandeville, on Friday, with no doubt telling all the press, the Spice Girls

are going to meet it. So the photographers were down there to take pictures of them going in,

you know, because they were doing a Zoom call and everything else.

There's no way the Victoria. She didn't do the last two tours, did she? Why was she bothered doing this one?

She gets the money without having to work. And also, surely they're getting a bit ancient for still doing, you know, world tours.

I mean, how old are their fans now? I of them must be a retirement age. Goodness me.

And so this will be in 2023 following the success of their UK stadium concerts, which Victoria

didn't do either. So we'll wait and see, shall we? Heat waves could be named as Met Office looks

to deploy some tactic used for storms to grab the public's attention.
