Meanwhile 5ft 4 Victoria who towered over pintsized Eva, 5ft 1, as she posed in her gold corset outfit told The Manchester Evening News: "I have such fond memories of living in Manchester.

"So I'm really excited to be here, and I've got all three kids with me and David.

"And some of his friends from the team are here to spice up their lives."

But for any fans hoping the girls money-spinning reunion might spark a return to the music world for the most famous of the five girls, Victoria made it admantly clear that she was finished with music.

Victoria said: "For me personally, I would not want to be in the music industry any more. It's not a very nice industry to be in. What we are doing is fun - on tour, having a laugh with each other with our families around us."

Yesterday, it was revealed the Spice Girls have each pocketed £10 million from their 17-night run of sell-out gigs at the London's O2 Arena.
