Although the Spice Girls comeback tour doesn’t properly kick off for a couple more weeks, it doesn’t mean that the girls can’t get together and dress up like a bunch of extras from an old Dad’s Army episode for cash.

And that’s just as well, because last night that’s exactly what they did. At the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Hollywood last night, the world got its first taste of the full Spice Girls line-up singing live for almost a decade. And, weird World War II-inspired costumes aside, it seems as if the Spice Girls went down a storm and disappointed nobody. True, much of this was accomplished by the Spice Girls not stripping down to their Victoria’s Secret underwear as a climax to the show – something that at least prevented everyone dying in that tidal wave of tears and vomit that we’d been anticipating.
