He is probably the least likely fan of the Fab Five you will ever see. But 29-year-old Sam Stefani has spent about £10,000 proving he is the world’s most dedicated Spice Girls follower. His collection contains Spice playing cards, napkins, Chupa Chups, badges, crisps, tickets, programmes and Mel B fitness DVDs. On his tribute site, he writes: ‘My love for them started the moment I first saw them, the fun, the attitude, the power!… it all drew me in and I was addicted. I really couldn’t get enough, I ate, drank, slept, lived the Spice Girls.’ He added: ’Mel B was always my favourite back then, I got my tongue pierced to be like her.’ He lives with his fiancée Sam in Dover, Kent, and admitted: ‘As I got older, the Spice Girls did take a bit of a back seat in my life… but I know they have always been there for me.’ Metro
