The 44-year-old singer and her bandmates - Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri - enjoyed a successful reunion stadium tour across the UK earlier this year and they have been in talks for a six-week show in Sin City.

Asked whether the residency will go ahead, Mel said: 'I can't do any public announcements about any of that until everything is signed off, so right now it's just a little bit up in the air...

'But I'm always the one that's pushing everything to go back on course, so we'll see! It took me five years of saying it to get the UK tour happening, so hopefully it will happen again.'
