The Spice Girls have announced their first tour for a decade, with Edinburgh one of six UK shows in June next year.

Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Melanie Chisholm revealed details of the reunion tour in a video in the style of a news bulletin on Monday.

Victoria Beckham, however, is not expected to take part.

The girl group will kick off their tour at Manchester's Etihad Stadium on 1 June 2019, and will play Scotland seven days later at the BT Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

Tickets for all dates are going on sale on Saturday at 10.30am. They will be supported by Jess Glynne.

Mel B appeared on Loose Women to confirm the upcoming plans before the official announcement, also revealing that Victoria Beckham will not be reprising her role as Posh Spice.

On Monday morning Bunton said on her Heart Radio breakfast show: "I'm just so excited, I want it out there. It'll be brilliant."
