She is still smarting over husband David’s move to Miami and this is her way of taking back control.
Victoria, 43, was reunited with Emma Bunton and Mel B, both 42, Mel C, 44, and Geri Horner, 45.
The get-together at Geri’s North London pile came hours after The Sun revealed plans for the iconic group to get back together.
Immediately afterwards, Victoria posted the first picture of the band together in six years on Instagram, writing: “Love my girls!!! So many kisses!!! X Exciting x #friendshipneverends #girlpower.”

Our insider revealed: “Victoria knows this is the last chance saloon for the Spice Girls, their last chance to get back into their hot pants.
“She knows David is viewed as the showbiz force in their marriage and she is now a fashion businesswoman.
“But she wants that to change and really embrace being back in the spotlight with the Spice Girls.
“For many years, it’s been Victoria who has put the block on the Spice Girls returning. But yesterday she was the most excited about it.

“For the moment, she’s still insisting on not singing, but Geri, Mel B and Emma are confident they can change her mind.
“Mel C is nervous about the idea of a full-scale tour, but there could be some type of shows and perhaps even new music.
“It’s something no one in Spice world thought was possible even a few weeks ago.
“Mel C was really wavering until the end but she’s now come aboard with ideas of her own.

We revealed the band’s reunion plans earlier this week
“The meeting went incredibly well and the Spice Girls are now back together.
“Initially there was lots of reminiscing and then they started to talk about future plans.
“A tour isn’t on the agenda right now, but there is hope that perhaps they could end up on stage together in some way.
“Mel C is most nervous about big commitments, even more so than Victoria.
“The most concrete plan is for a TV show this year, with the possibility of a series aimed at children.
“All five of the girls were united in the fact that they want their children to be very heavily involved in the reunion.”

Pop Idol creator and former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, 57, was also at the meeting.
He is expected to be put in charge of the reunion plans — which will net each member at least £10million.
The Spice source said: “So 2018 is all about monetising the Spice Girls again.
“It’s what Fuller has done with Brand Beckham so they’re confident if he’s at the helm they will all seriously profit.”

The Nineties favourites, who have had nine No1 hits, were originally due to meet at the five-star Connaught Hotel in London’s Mayfair.
They changed venue at the last minute over fears they would be seen together. Fuller, who met with fashionista Posh and husband David, 42, the previous evening in London, was first to arrive at 12.15pm.
He was followed by Emma, at 12.20pm.
Mel C shocked onlookers by walking to Geri’s house at 12.23pm in stark contrast to Victoria, who turned up at 12.20pm in the back of a blacked-out Mercedes.

Mel B, fresh from the airport, was last to arrive at 1.20pm. She was dropped off in a Volkswagen Golf.
The meeting was interrupted by a food delivery from Planet Organic and the arrival of Bluebell, Geri’s nine-year-old daughter from school.
It is the first time the five singers have been in a room together since the opening of their flop musical Viva Forever! in December 2012.
The last time the Spice Girls performed as a five-piece was at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Fuller and Victoria were the first to depart yesterday at 3.30pm — followed by Baby Spice Emma. Mel C left minutes later, and stayed true to her Sporty Spice moniker by swerving a lift in favour of a walk.
Scary Spice Mel B was last to depart at 4.02pm, using her contacts to upgrade her transport to a silver blacked-out Mercedes.

The Spice Girls said in a joint statement: “We have enjoyed a wonderful afternoon catching up and reminiscing about the amazing times we have spent together.
“We are always overwhelmed at how much interest there is across the whole world for The Spice Girls.
The time now feels right to explore some incredible new opportunities together.
“We all agree that there are many exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of The Spice Girls, while reinforcing our message of female empowerment for future generations.”
