Description

In 1996 the Spice Girls were at the top of the charts.

Their brand of cheeky British pop had taken the world by storm - they called it 'Girl Power'.

We hear from two Spice Girls insiders about the early days when Baby, Sporty, Posh, Scary and Ginger were complete unknowns who used to travel by bus.
