Upon hearing news of the Spice Girls reunion, like most of us, Jack Whitehall’s first thought was ‘Where’s Posh?’
Unlike most of us, his next thought was ‘I’m the new Posh.’ And to be fair, he is quite posh, so it makes sense.
On Tuesday, Jack tweeted:
“Spice Girls Reunion. Yes please. Apparently they are looking for a replacement ‘Posh’? You know where to find me.”

Yesterday, the band responded, but probably not in the way Jack expected…
“Is your dad available?”
Is your dad available? ✌️?? https://t.co/a2uq29fWNF

For the uninitiated, Jack Whitehall’s dad Michael has gained his own fanbase following his appearance on Jack’s Netflix series, Travels With My Father. His dad is incredibly posh, and travels with a weird childlike doll called Winston, but we won’t talk about Winston.
Jack then confirmed that yes, his dad is available, and he looks great in leather. Good to know, Jack. Thanks for that visual.

Father Whitehall seems keen.

So keep an eye out for a Michael Whitehall cameo during next year’s Spice Girls reunion tour! And hopefully he leaves Winston at home.
