Groundbreaking ’90s pop band The Spice Girls are launching their own TV talent show which would select young girls for a musical based on the group’s rise to fame. The Spice Girls want to turn their story into a musical and are anxious to have a hand in selecting a cast to do just that.

“The girls would have to work intensely on a TV show for a short period of time. But they then launch a musical which could run for months or even years. It will take on a life of its own. The concept could even be replicated in other countries. The sky is the limit with this one,” an insider divulged to The Sun.

The show – rumoured to be called Spice Idol – will see the singers sit on an American Idol-style judging panel.

“This is an idea which appeals to all of the original members,” added the source. “It’’s a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs.”
