The two women who played the roles of the young Spice Girls in the ‘Mama’ music video are trying to reunite the remaining members of the group.
In the official 1997 video, five younger girls and five older girls played child versions of Posh, Baby, Scary, Sporty, and Ginger Spice.
Alice Connor, 33, from Chesham, Buckinghamshire, said it would be “really special” if all five crew members could reconnect and “recreate something”.
Sharna DeRosario, who played Baby Spice, successfully tracked down Alice during the pandemic, but was unable to find the remaining three “mini Spice.”

Alice told the BBC she was six years old when she played the role of ‘Baby Posh Spice'.
As part of the Sylvia Young Theater School, she had been invited to participate in a mock concert with other girls and mothers to film her new single ‘Mama’.
“I was wearing a little black dress and a little bag and I called it a Gucci bag. I had a bob cut. I love Posh Spice and I want to be like her. I did.
“My sister was more like Sporty Spice and we used to dress up like them.”
She said Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice, spotted them dancing in a circle behind the pop stars.
“She said, ‘Oh my God, Victoria, you don’t look like me!’
“Then someone from production came up to me and asked, ‘Would you like to be in the music video?'”
“I feel very lucky to be a part of something so iconic.”

Photography was not allowed on set, but Sharna did take a photo of the five girls during their lunch break at McDonald’s.
“During the pandemic, I received a message and a photo from Scheana, the girl who played Baby Spice in a music video.
“She said, ‘I can’t believe I finally met you. I wanted to reconnect with the Spice Girls.’
“We posted a photo and it got quite a few shares, but we couldn’t find the other three,” Alice said.
“Wouldn’t it be great if we could recreate that video?
“Shana and I both became mothers last year, so it’ll be great to see what other girls have or are recreating. It’s going to be something really special. ”
