Mel B has dropped a heavy hint that she and the Spice Girls will be performing at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in May.

The former Spice Girls singer admitted she and the band would be attending the royal wedding - something she was supposed to keep quiet about.

The 42-year-old joked that she would be fired if she said any more, sparking speculation they could perform at the Windsor wedding.

When asked by co-host and comedian Loni Love: "Do you know anybody that you think is gonna go to this wedding" during an appearance on the US talk-show The Real on Tuesday, she quietly mouthed: "Yeah I'm going ... I don't know if I should've said that."

The musician, whose real name is Melanie Brown, was then asked if she knew anyone else attending to which she replied: "Well us five Spice Girls ... why am I so honest?"

She was then asked if the Spice Girls would be performing to which she responded by tossing her cue cards into the air as the hosts whooped and cheered.

Love screamed: "Yes they are performing."

Mel B replied: "This is where I'm just like ... I need to go. I'm going to be fired!"

She did confirm that the invitations were sent out but refused to give too many details, saying: "That's getting too personal if I actually describe it."

The news comes after the Spice Girls - Brown, Victoria Beckham, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm - met earlier this month to explore "new opportunities" together.

The iconic 90's band said they are planning to work on new projects after coming together for the first time since 2012.

Horner posted a photograph on social media of the quintet meeting earlier this month, saying "girl power is alive and well".

They group said in a statement: "We all agree that there are many exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of the Spice Girls, while reinforcing our message of female empowerment for future generations."

While there has been no confirmation of exactly what the new projects entail fans are hoping a reunion tour is on the cards.

Prince Harry and his actor and humanitarian fiance are to marry at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
