Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton sent fans into a frenzy in July by announcing they were reuniting the Spice Girls as a trio under the name GEM.

But no official mention of the project has been made since, leaving 90s pop fans to wonder if it's been abandoned altogether.

But Mel B has finally addressed the situation, telling The Daily Telegraph a Spice Girls reunion will not happen until 'everybody gets their arse in gear'.

'I wish there was something to say:' Melanie 'Mel B' Brown revealed that plans for a Spice Girls reunion are currently on hold

'I wish there was something to say,' said the 41-year-old singer.

'I'm fed up with talking about it because until it is absolutely set in stone and everybody gets their arse in gear, there is nothing to say.'

She continued: 'If the girls said to me in January, "We’ve booked five shows in the UK", I’d drop everything and be there.'

The Spice Girls reunion has faced obstacles since it was first announced.

According to The Sun, Melanie 'Mel C' Chrisholm began legal action to stop the reunion from moving forward without her.

'She believes she brought music credibility to the group and there is no Spice Girls without her,' a source claimed.

Last month, Victoria Beckham expressed her concern that a three-piece performing old Spice Girls hits 'might be a bit sad.'

'I do think they should do new material, though, because what we did as the Spice Girls was so special,' she told The Sunday Times.
