Tom and Katie thrill Spice Girls with a visit

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their baby daughter Suri gave the Spice Girls a rehearsal surprise at the weekend when they dropped in to say hello.

The Cruises, who are close friends with Victoria Beckham, appeared unannounced to watch as the girl-group put the finishing touches to their stage act - before heading up to Vancouver, Canada to kickstart their reunion tour on Sunday.

In a posting on the Spice Girls website, Beckham wrote, "It was lovely of them to come down to rehearsals, a really nice surprise. Katie has told me before that she used to be a big Spice fan so it was great for her to meet the other girls."
