Brian McFadden jokes hes heading on holiday with Victoria Beckham as they both miss respective reunion tours
Today it was announced the Spice Girls were heading back on the road, more than two decades after they were the biggest thing in pop music.
With a 90s reunion phase seemingly being a thing right now, their excitement came not long after Westlife revealed their own reunion tour.
When it comes to the girls, who reigned supreme in the mid-late 90s, theyll be embarking on their stadium tour without Posh Spice, AKA Victoria Beckham.
And Westlife are heading on the road without Brian McFadden.
Keen to have a laugh at this following the most recent announcement, Brian took to social media on Monday joking he was actually heading on holiday with the fashion designer, as their respective groups get back together without them.
To Magaluf of all places.

We can see it now, VB sauntering off the plane in her flip flops and kaftan, fedora in one hand and light-up cocktail glass in the other.
Spice up your life, indeed.
Brian wrote on Twitter: [Victoria and I] going on holidays together to Magaluf next June. Apologies for our absence. X
Oh you joker.
Lmao love this tweet, one follower replied, as another added: ICONIC! Love you McFadden x.
Seems everyone is in quite the jovial mood after the girls announced their tour after months and months of speculation.
Were going on tour! People need to see it to believe it, Geri joked, as they argued over their outfit choices.
Mel C added: We cant be falling out now if were going on tour!
Then, to prove theyve all still got it – as if they ever even lost it – they sang a few bars of Spice Up Your Life, before announcing the tour dates. Theyll be kicking things off at Manchesters Etihad stadium on 1 June, before ending this at Wembley Stadium, on 15 June.
Brian – who is about to hit our screens in Dancing on Ice – wont be joining his former bandmates as they play some pretty big gigs next year, six years after they split.
A spokesperson for Brian told Metro.co.uk he just wouldnt have time to go back on the road what with all his current projects.
I think Brian has made it widely known that hes not expressed any desire to go back into Westlife so the topic has never been broached, they told us. Hes currently really focused on his solo album, which hes just finished recording and is preparing for release. Its called Otis and is a selection of Otis Redding songs recorded with some great soul musicians including Mica Paris.

Hes also going to be touring the album as a solo artist early next year. Hes just starting training for Dancing On Ice and is currently on tour in Boyzlife with his mate Keith Duffy.
They added that theres no hard feelings from Brian despite not being asked to rejoin: He couldnt fit Westlife in even if theyd asked him, but he wishes the guys well!
While Victoria broke her own silence on her own former bandmates tour news, as she posted a shot of the foursome to Instagram.
She wrote alongside it: Today marks a special day for the girls as they announce the first tour dates since we performed together in 2012!
I wont be joining my girls on stage again but being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish them so much love and fun as they go back on tour next year.
