Spice Girls ‘red-faced as 30-year-old song with VERY X-rated title leaked online in security breach’
The Spice Girls turned red-faced after an unreleased song with an X-rated track was leaked almost 30 years after it was recorded.
The song, titled CU Next Tuesday, was recorded for their debut album Spice and a demo of it was leaked to the internet this week due to an unsolved security breach.
Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner are said to have been embarrassed by the leak as the title is a euphemism for a four-letter expletive.

Last year the group released Spice 25 to celebrate the album’s 25th anniversary, featuring unreleased demos and remixes, but CU Next Tuesday didn’t make it.
Mel C has previously been vocal about her dislike of the track, saying, “CU Next Tuesday was never used because it’s a bunch of shit. It would be a huge rip off if Virgin put it on a greatest hits album now.’
A source told The Sun: “The Spice Girls are all at a very different point in their lives now than when this song was first written as a tongue-in-cheek track in the 90’s.
“It’s obviously a bit embarrassing given the shabby title as they wouldn’t use the C-word in their own lives. It’s a bit of a mystery how on earth it came out, but they won’t get into that.

The insider added that the girls hope the song will eventually be forgotten.
They said: “The group have other projects they’re looking forward to in 2023, so they’re focusing on them and hoping that this song – which they never particularly liked – will be forgotten.”
Web has reached out to representatives of the Spice Girls for comment.
Baby Spice Emma recently reflected on her unbreakable bond with her bandmates.
Honest: Mel C has previously been vocal about her dislike of the track, saying, “CU Next Tuesday was never used because it’s a bunch of shit.”
Speaking to Web, the singer said she will always be close to the girls as they have “been through so much together”.
After the group became the biggest girl band of all time, Emma said, “No one else will ever understand this relationship between us.
“We’ve been through so much and are still going through so much, from kids to work. There’s a bond there, and it’s very, very strong.”
A source said: “It’s obviously a bit embarrassing given the pathetic title as they wouldn’t use the C-word in their own lives. It’s a bit of a mystery how on earth it came out.
