Wannabe is a British reality and talent show with Toby Anstis and ex-Big Brother housemate Chanelle Hayes, David Laudat and Roseanne McBride. It is a search for a new girl group similar to the Spice Girls consisting of five women over 25 years old.[1]

The Spice Girls's attorneys found out about the show and had conversations with the show's representatives. Originally called Wannabe: Spice Girls, the show was renamed to Wannabe to prevent a protracted legal dispute with the girl group.[2]
