Scary Spice wants nothing more than to go back on tour with her bandmates, she revealed, shortly after the Spice Girls announce a surprise reunion for a special collab

Just like millions around the world, Melanie Brown MBE wants a Spice Girls reunion. The singer revealed that she ‘loves” badgering her former bandmates about a reunion tour, not long after a surprise collaboration together was announced.

Mel, dubbed Scary Spice, was featured in a TikTok on Monday (15 September) where she listed a bunch of things she loved to do. She said: “Unfortunately, I do love dressing like it’s the 90s, putting evil eye stickers on everything, asking the Spice group when we are going on tour, meditating every day, singing Wannabe rap to anyone who will listen, watching ‘how to get rid of a body documentaries, hoovering at 2am.”

She captioned the video: “Yep I really do!!” Plenty of fans agreed that a Spice Girls comeback was needed. One said: “Here for the Spice Girls group tour. And asking every year for the next 50 years.”

Another went on to write: “Asking for a tour is necessary and every 90s kid is asking the same.” “I cannot thank you, Mel C and Emma for keeping the spice dream alive for us,” said a third. Meanwhile, a fourth excited fan penned: “You are the only one with power to reunite the group, Goddess of Goddesses! We love you!”

The video was posted shortly after Mel, along with her Spice Girls bandmates, Melanie C, Geri Horner, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton, announced they had teamed up with the England women’s rugby team to create a range of Red Roses products adorned with the Spice Girls’ Girl Power slogan.

In a joint statement, the iconic group said: “We are excited to partner with the Red Roses in supporting women’s sport, particularly as this year for the first time in history there will be a female president of the RFU – that’s incredible Girl Power!

“We hope the whole country will join us in cheering on the team at the Rugby World Cup, as they build on their great start.”

The statement was made last week and the range will include a jersey, track jacket and bomber, T-shirts, hoodies and accessories, as well as a limited edition Spice Girls rugby ball.

A Spice Girls reunion is so hoped for that fans are almost always asking when it will happen. Back in April, it was claimed that the group would reunite for their 30th anniversary, as Geri, Emma and both Mels were said to have met in Miami to discuss the details of a world tour. It would have been just the four of them, as Victoria was rumoured to be “90% out of the running”.

A source close to Geri said: “There have been rumours swirling for months, but Geri has always been too busy and had other things on, preventing her from saying yes.

“Nothing is yet confirmed but Geri and Simon [Fuller, the group’s former band manager] are back in touch with a myriad of exciting ideas.”

Celebs Go Dating star Tom Zanetti took to his Instagram page to share a tribute to boxer Ricky Hatton, who was found dead aged 46 on Sunday

Celebs Go Dating star Tom Zanetti revealed he was with Ricky Hatton two weeks before he died aged 46. The boxer was found dead at his home in Manchester on Sunday. He became one of Britain’s most popular fighters during his career, which peaked in 2005 when he became world champion in his home city of Manchester.

He went on to fight Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, losing both – defeats which plunged him into a deep depression. But he had emerged from his darkness in recent years, returning to the gym to train fighters and speaking openly about his mental health.

The iconic star also appeared on Dancing On Ice last year. Following his death, DJ and TV star Tom took to his page to pay tribute to his pal.

Along with a selfie taken with the boxer, Tom wrote on his Instagram post: “So horrible, I was with him two weeks ago and speaking on insta just recently. What a nice talented man, a natural comedian and obvs huge legend in boxing.

“So sad, love and strength to Ricky’s family and friends.” In the comment section, he added: “We never know what’s round the corner. We have to enjoy every day, take care of ourselves and each other.”

Ricky’s family recently released a statement regarding his death, saying the former world champion “had a heart as big as his smile, and his kindness, humour and loyalty touched everyone who was lucky enough to know him.”

The full statement read: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son Richard. Richard was so much more than a world champion. To us he was simply ‘Richard’, our son.

“A loving father, grandfather, and brother, and a true friend to many. He had a heart as big as his smile, and his kindness, humour and loyalty touched everyone who was lucky enough to know him.

“To the wider world, Richard will always be remembered as one of boxing ’s greatest champions — a man who gave everything inside the ring and wore his heart on his sleeve outside of it. He inspired generations with his fighting spirit, his humility, and his love for the sport.

“But beyond the titles, the nights to remember, and the roar of the crowd, he remained the same down-to-earth Richard who never forgot where he came from.”

They continued: “As a family, our loss is immeasurable, and words cannot truly capture the pain we feel. Yet in the midst of our grief, we have been deeply moved by the overwhelming outpouring of love and support. It has been a source of great comfort to see just how many lives Richard touched, and how widely he was admired and respected.

“At this time, we kindly ask for privacy as we come to terms with life without him. In the days and weeks ahead, we will take strength from one another and from the knowledge that Richard’s legacy — both in boxing and as a man — will continue to live on. Richard’s memory will forever remain in our hearts, in the hearts of his fans, and in the sport he loved so dearly.”

Oasis are expected to remember Ricky Hatton at their concert later this month, the champion was a humble, down-to-earth hero to generations of fans, his family said today

Oasis are set to pay a special tribute to the boxer Ricky Hatton at the next UK gig of their comeback tour. Fans braved pouring rain to leave tributes in Manchester as his loved ones told of the devastating loss of a giant of the ring.

The legendary band from Hatton’s hometown are expected to remember the star at their next gig at Wembley on September 27. The much-loved champion was a humble, down-to-earth hero to generations of fans, his family said today.

He left behind parents Carol and Ray, children Campbell, Millie, Fearne and granddaughter Lyla following his tragic death at 46 on Sunday. The Mirror told how the Gallagher brothers were set to see Hatton’s comeback fight in Dubai in December.

In a statement, the Hatton family told how he was ‘so much more than a world champion’ to them. His close friends Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to remember him during a performance of ‘Live Forever’ at Wembley.

During the first show of their comeback tour at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff, in July, an image of late Liverpool star Diogo Jota was projected on massive screens to a huge applause from the 75,000-strong crowd.

A similar tribute is set to be held for Ricky later this month. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham promised that the city would also ‘find a way of honouring him properly’.

“Ricky was much loved by so many in Greater Manchester,” he said. “He was the kind of person who would always turn up for people, supporting so many causes. He made us smile and made us proud. Rest in peace, Champ.”

In their statement, the Hatton Family said: “To us he was simply ‘Richard’, our son. A loving father, grandfather, and brother, and a true friend to many. He had a heart as big as his smile, and his kindness, humour and loyalty touched everyone who was lucky enough to know him,” they added. He was ‘one of boxing’s greatest champions, who gave everything inside the ring and wore his heart on his sleeve outside of it’. They went on: “He inspired generations with his fighting spirit, his humility, and his love for the sport.”

Fans braved driving rain to remember the People’s Champion at his mansion, called ‘The Heartbreak’. His three-wheeled yellow Reliant Robin, used in the filming of the BBC show ‘Only Fools and Horses’, was outside, with a Union Jack painted telephone box in the back garden.

A floral tribute left by former coach Billy Graham read: ‘Sorry I wasn’t there for you. Love Billy (The Preacher) x”. Police say there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances behind Hatton’s death. Electrician David Hopper, 33, placed flowers outside the £1.75 m property in Gee Cross, Greater Manchester, during his lunch break. “I used to stay up with my dad to watch his fights on TV,” he said. “He was such a likeable person and that’s why he was so popular.” Marcus Atkinson, 55, said: “I met him on holiday in Tenerife. Ricky waited for my daughter to go back to the hotel for her phone so she could have a photograph with him. It made her holiday.” To Toby Daniels, 25, he was “still one of us, a lad from Hyde, who had done really well for himself”. He added: “He was our champion. If you saw him, he would always speak.” Ricky’s brother Matthew and ex-partner Jennifer Dooley called at the property as fans left flowers, scarves, shirts and boxing gloves. Matthew, also a boxer, shared photos on social media.

He wrote: “I love you Richard. See you on the other side X.” Oasis singer Liam Gallagher was “absolutely devastated” to hear of Hatton’s death, adding: “It was an absolute honour to know him and carry his belts. “RIP champ, live forever.” Adele Roberts, the radio presenter, described Hatton as an “amazing man”; Olympian Greg Rutherford said the loss was “utterly heartbreaking”. The pair competed alongside Hatton on the 16th season of Dancing On Ice. The popular fighter was also remembered as being “one of a kind” by former England star David Beckham, who posted photos of Hatton to his Instagram stories. It is believed Hatton put his mansion up for sale after splitting with actress Claire Sweeney, a friend and fellow Dancing on Ice contestant.

Boxing journalist Steve Bunce told BBC Radio 5 Live: “We used the cliche ‘people’s champion’. “But nobody had come close to what Ricky was before and nobody has come close to what Ricky was since. He fought with every part of his soul and fibre.” Hatton’s parents made a small gym in the basement of their pub when he was 12, and it was there that he honed his skills on a punching bag. He rose through amateur and domestic levels to pit his wits against elite boxers of his generation, including Kostya Tszyu, Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao. Hatton achieved a staggering 43-0 record before his first loss at the hands of Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 2007 and later campaigned to help those ‘suffering with their mental health’.

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara was rushed to hospital instead of the Emmy Awards as she suffered a medical emergency while getting ready for the award ceremony

Actress Sofia Vergara was forced to skip the Emmys on Sunday night after suffering a medical emergency while on the way to the prestigious award ceremony. The Modern Family star, 53, had spent all day getting ready to head to Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre, but her plans changed right at the last minute.

She was struck down by an allergic reaction as she was about to get into the car and instead had to head to the emergency room. Sophia missed the red carpet and had a very different night than she had planned.

The actress took to Instagram to reveal why she was absent from the event and shared a picture of her swollen left eye, writing: “Didn’t make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER… Sorry, I had to cancel! Craziest eye [allergy] right before getting in the car!”

Another picture showed her lying on a hospital bed, and she also shared a video showing her rinsing her eye out in a drinking water fountain. Sofia had been due to present atthe award during the ceremony, which was instead hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze.

Fans rushed to share their support to Sophia as one said: “Goodness! Sending you lots of love and healing.” Another added: “A speedy recovery for you.” Actor Terry Crews commented: “Oh no! Get well soon!” A fourth wrote: “Praying for a speedy recovery.”

Other presenters on the night included Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jude Law, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Coolidge, Colman Domingo and Tina Fey. Another famous face missing from the line-up was Eric Dane.

The actor, who recently went public with his ALS diagnosis, was due to take to the stage to present an award, but he was also absent from the show.

The appearance was scheduled to be his first big public outing since he opened up about his health in a Good Morning America interview over the summer.

The Grey’s Anatomy actor first announced his diagnosis in April in an interview with PEOPLE, saying: “I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”

The big winners at the Emmy Awards on Sunday include Noah Wyle’s hit medical drama The Pitt, which was named Outstanding Drama Series.

Seth Rogan’s Apple TV Plus comedy The Studio also brought home gold along with UK TV drama Adolescence starring Stephen Graham.

Reba McEntire, 70, is engaged to Rex Linn and announced the happy news just over a month after tragic passing of stepson Brandon Blackstock

Reba McEntire has confirmed she’s engaged to her long-term boyfriend, Rex Linn. The news comes just over a month after the heartbreaking death of her stepson, Brandon Blackstock.

The 70-year-old who appears on The Voice US alongside Niall Horan and Michael Buble appeared to confirm the news as the couple stepped out on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night.

For the first time, Rex was referred to as Reba’s fiancé rather than her boyfriend. Shortly after this, the country legend said, “We’re having a blast on Happy’s Place and so glad to be here tonight.”

While the NBC star did refer to the fact that they both star in the same sitcom, Happy’s Place, she did not deny that she and Rex are engaged when speaking to Zuri Hall.

The couple first met in the 1991 when they co-starred in The Gambler, but only started dating when they reconnected on the set of Young Sheldon in 2020. Reba has not been shy about her feelings for Rex and hopes for where the relationship would go. She told E! News last year that she was “truly committed” to Rex and said that she would be “okay” with marriage, despite having been married twice before.

“If that’s something he feels totally strong about, that’s fine with me. He’s never been married before. So, if he wants to experience that, I’m okay with that.”

One of Reba’s previous husbands was Narvel Blackstock, to whom she was married from 1989 to 2015. From a previous relationship, Narvel had a son, Brandon. In early August, Brandon, who used to be married to Kelly Clarkson, died. The talent manager has been living with cancer for three years before his passing. He was 48-years-old.

Reba and Rex attended the Emmys as the actress and singer was performing a tribute to The Golden Girls as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations. Reba was joined by Little Big Town’s Karen Farechild and Kimberly Schlapman to sing a rendition of the classic sitcom’s theme tune, Thank You For Being A Friend. They then presented the award for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

The award went to Hacks’ Hannah Einbinder, who used her speech to share her favourite sports team, hit out at the American immigration enforcement agency and call for a free Palestine. “Go Birds, f*** ICE and free Palestine,” she said.
