The Spice Girls are planning to launch a TV talent search for stars of a musical based themselves.
The girls recently met up with Geri hinting that they have been discussing future projects.
It is said that the format will be similar to shows like How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria and the X Factor.
A source told The Sun: “This is an idea which appeals to all of the original members.
“It’s a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs.”
Geri, Victoria, Mel C, Mel B and Emma will sit on the judging panel and audition potential stars for the new musical.
Victoria has experience as a guest judge on American Idol and Mel C begins a run in the West End musical Blood Brothers next week. Their manager Simon Fuller also owns the rights to the Idol franchise.
The source added: “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.”

“She has got the others excited by the idea of a one-off appearance. They are very interested.”

The Spice Girls are discussing reuniting for a second time, reports suggest.
Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown enjoyed a meal together in London last week and were allegedly in contact with Victoria Beckham throughout the whole evening.
Speaking to television show This Morning, Geri Halliwell said: “We are friends first and foremost. Obviously a career and music evolved through that friendship I think. Whatever happens afterwards is a bonus.
“We always talk about creative plans. Right – now, I’ll be honest, we are gathering information about a possibility, but I don’t like to… when you are evolving a plan, you don’t want to share it with the world.”
The girls split in 1998 after Geri left the group to go solo but reunited in 2007 for a world tour.
