"Mel C has said that a Spice Girls reunion may not be possible if Victoria Beckham doesn&amp;#039;t want to do it. She said that Beckham cannot be forced to return to music if her &amp;quot;passions lie elsewhere&amp;quot;, the Daily Mail reports.   There have been numerous rumours of a reunion for the group since their performance of &amp;#039;Wannabe&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Spice Up Your Life&amp;#039; at last year&amp;#039;s Olympics closing ceremony. On the subject of Beckham, Mel C said: &amp;quot;To have come from a pop group to be respected in the fashion world - we have so much respect for her for doing that, and she&amp;#039;s worked bloody hard to get there. It&amp;#039;s not a secret that her passions lie elsewhere.  &amp;quot;So we can&amp;#039;t drag her kicking and screaming, telling her, &amp;#039;Come on! It&amp;#039;s time to sing &amp;#039;Wannabe&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Chisholm, known as Sporty Spice during the Spice Girls&amp;#039; height of success, has revealed that she is unsure if Mel B, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and herself could reunite without Beckham. &amp;quot;We did really, really enjoy doing the Olympics and would love to do something else, but would we want to do it without Victoria? I don&amp;#039;t know.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s something that would need to be thought about in depth,&amp;quot; she said.  The group appeared at the launch of their musical Viva Forever! in London last December, but Beckham was notably absent from the group&amp;#039;s photo call on the red carpet. Mel C had admitted that she and the rest of the group were &amp;quot;disappointed&amp;quot; by Beckham&amp;#039;s absence. The &amp;#039;I Turn To You&amp;#039; singer said: &amp;quot;We were disappointed that Victoria didn&amp;#039;t arrive with us on the red carpet at the premiere, I&amp;#039;m not going to lie. &amp;quot;For her that evening was about her family, and that&amp;#039;s what she wanted to do. But we&amp;#039;re all grown-ups and we&amp;#039;ve been through so much. &amp;quot;If somebody wants to do something a certain way, then we are not going to kick up a fuss about it.  &amp;quot;The rules of the Spice Girls are that we do really respect each other, and that&amp;#039;s all part of it. That&amp;#039;s what she wanted to do, so that&amp;#039;s what she did,&amp;quot; she added. It has been reported multiple times this year that the group may find a replacement for Beckham in order to reunite. It was first rumoured that Sugababes singer Heidi Range could be drafted in. More recently, it was suggested that a reality show could be launched to find a new Spice Girl. &amp;quot;That one is just bizarre to me,&amp;quot; Mel C said. &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s be clear: yes we get together a lot and we fantasise about touring and doing stuff, but we haven&amp;#039;t put wheels in motion. &amp;quot;With the Spice Girls, probably more than any other band in history, it was our individuality and the identities that made it the success it was. No Spice Girl will ever or could ever be replaced.&amp;quot; Watch the Spice Girls perform &amp;#039;Wannabe&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Spice Up Your Life&amp;#039; at the Olympics below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
