The Spice Girls have hit back at rumours that they are only reuniting to boost their bank balances.
The iconic girl group insisted that friendship is behind their decision to embark on a reunion world tour in December.
Melanie Chisholm said: "We experienced something so unique together that we're always going to have a bond, no matter how long it is between seeing each other. Sometimes we might fall out, but we love each other and always get back together, as you can see."
Geri Halliwell added: "It's like family. We love each other."
