Spice Girls have creche installed at the O2

The Spice Girls have had a creche installed at the O2 ahead of their 17 nights of sell-out gigs.

The group - who, with the exception of Melanie Chisholm, are all now mothers - have requested the facility so their small army of child-minders can keep the children occupied during their two-hour concerts, which start tomorrow.

An insider said: "They all want their babies close by and looked after, so their nannies also come with the package."

Promoters have also had to hire a doctor to keep an eye on Emma Bunton's ankle which she sprained in Las Vegas.

Among the audience for the opening night will be David Beckham and Sir Richard Branson, who lent them a plane - dubbed Spice One - to fly in from the US.

All five have submitted a rider asking for a regular supply of light salads, steamed fish and fresh fruit.
