Victoria Beckham is rumoured to be joining the Spice Girls for a special reunion next year.
The girl band are set to get back together for a final world tour in 2023, which will culminate with a huge headline set at Glastonbury festival.
But pals say Posh is already feeling apprehensive about her big comeback as she feels “worlds away” from her former alter ego.
“She is nervous because she knows the whole world will be watching her,” a source told New magazine.
“Posh Spice and Victoria Beckham are two different people now, and that is how it has been for a long time.
“She has a different image now and she doesn’t want to embarrass herself.”

It is often said that Victoria - who is now a bigtime fashion designer with her own clothes line and beauty empire - thinks she is “above” being in a girl band.
But sources close to the 47-year-old say she loved her Spice Girls days and sees them as a great success.
Although you wouldn’t know it, the mum-of-four is said to suffer from “confidence issues”, and it’s this which is behind her reluctance to get back on stage.
One Spice Girl who can’t wait to reignite girl power on tour is Mel C, who has been dropping hints about a reunion for months, saying all five members “passionately want to do it”.
It was previously reported the Spice Girls had been asked to take part at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert in June.
However, this is sadly not going ahead due to conflicting work schedules so fans must wait at least another year.
The last time Victoria performed with the Spice Girls was back in 2012 at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.
Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner toured the UK without her in 2019, but fans are eager for the girls to perform as a fivesome one last time.
One person who is especially eager for this to happen is fellow singer and self-confessed ‘Spice Girls superfan’ Adele.
The 33-year-old is good pals with Victoria after being introduced by Sir Elton John in 2013.
Adele’s son Angelo, nine, is even said to enjoy playdates with Victoria’s 10-year-old daughter Harper.
And pals say if anyone can convince Posh to rejoin the Spice Girls it is Adele.
“After Vic refused to join the last tour, Adele made no secret of her disappointment, “ a source told Closer magazine.
“She’s always said how epic it would be to have her on stage again with the girls and how it would be an iconic moment, which of course Vic found very flattering – especially coming from someone like Adele.
“Adele has also said how amazing it would be for Harper to see her mum strutting her stuff after never having seen her perform live.”
