Mel C to perform at Victoria Beckham’s glamorous New Year’s Eve party in the Maldives
THE BECKHAMS are pushing the boat out for their New Year's Eve celebrations - all the way to the Maldives.
DAVID and VICTORIA, plus kids BROOKLYN, ROMEO, CRUZ and HARPER, have organised an intimate gathering with BFFs GORDON and TANA RAMSAY to see out 2016.
And to prove she’s very much back in the fold with the Beckham camp after taking Posh’s side in the Spice Girls reunion debate, MEL C will be providing the entertainment.
A source said: “Victoria has been the instigator for the whole trip.
“She’s sorted all the accommodation for both families and ensured Mel is there to perform.
“They’ve always been great pals, but have got closer over the past few months due to their shared stance on the Spice Girls comeback.
“There was no way Mel was going to turn down the invite as the gig will be something special.”
Mel will be joined by her boyfriend Joe Marshall for the trip, which will take place on the Amilla Fushi resort.
Sporty revealed back in August she was snubbing the reunion, which I revealed, saying it wouldn’t be the same without Posh.
Mel said: “For me the absolute pinnacle of my Spice existence was being watched by a billion people around the globe belting out Spice up Your Life on top of a black cab at the 2012 London Olympics.
“Anything less than the full line-up just didn’t feel like we’d be doing justice to the band or the fans.”
As you can expect with any holiday connected to the Beckhams, the Amilla resort is dripping with five star luxury and the most idyllic spas and restaurants.

The Maldives was the location of their New Year’s Eve bash two years ago, when eldest son Brooklyn had just got to grips with social media.
Given he’s barely off Instagram, I expect the budding fashion photographer to keep his followers very much in the loop with what’s going down at the celebrations.
I just hope Mel and Posh mark the start of 2017 with a rendition of Wannabe.
