As fans anticipate a reunion, the Spice Girls have been busy: from Horner on Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive, to Melanie C as a guest on RuPaul’s Drag Race

Viewers and contestants of Netflix’s The Circle got an unexpected, spicy surprise recently when Scary Spice Mel B and Baby Spice Emma Bunton gatecrashed the reality show as secret celebs. And what a nostalgic surprise, indeed. With Scary kitted out in her signature leopard print and Baby donning her usual pink, it was the ultimate trip down memory lane.

The Spice Girls reunited for a sell-out reunion tour in 2019, but when the pandemic hit, things went quiet again while further international tour plans got put on hold.

Besides The Circle, what have the Spice Girls been up to in 2022?

During the pandemic, fans started showing concern for Scary Spice, 46, who seemed to retract herself from the spotlight. After living Stateside for many years and starring on reality talent shows like America’s Got Talent, she was suddenly nowhere to be seen, and ended up returning to her family home in her native Leeds – a small city in northern England.

Fortunately, she’s made a comeback in the past few months. Not only did she join Netflix’s The Circle, but she also showed up at Buckingham Palace last week where she was awarded an MBE for her efforts to raise awareness on domestic abuse for Women’s Aid. After attending Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding in Florida in April, Victoria decided to dress her bandmate for the occasion, and even surprised her by showing up for the fitting and post celebrations. Aw!
