Yahoo News Victoria Beckham: 'I was never the best Spice Girl'
Victoria Beckham is looking back on her Spice Girls years with humility 20 years after she became an international pop superstar.

Days later, her bandmate Mel C admitted she had a "sneaky suspicion" that we would eventually get all five Spice Girls back on stage together. We're waiting…
