The new Spice Girls single has been leaked online, a number of weeks before its official release next month, it has emerged.

The reformed girl band return with "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" in November, as they prepare for their enormous upcoming reunion world tour.

It can now be heard at numerous unofficial sites online, ahead of an imminent debut on international radio and full November release.

The track is available at the site of renowned gossip columnist Perez Hilton, who jokes: "Let's play a game. It's called: can you guess which part (if any) Victoria is singing???"

A typical Spice Girls ballad in the style of 1997's "Viva Forever," the song is the first piece of new material from the definitive lineup since Geri Halliwell's 1998 departure.

According to reports, it will be backed by the previously unreleased "W.O.M.A.N.," which was debuted on the four-piece's final tour in 1999.

"Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" is this year's official Children In Need anthem and is released digitally on November 5 and on CD two weeks later.
