Fans of the band were given hope Geri, 51, would reunite with Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham on stage to mark the 30th anniversary oftheir launch.
But a source has now said the plans are up in the air due to Geri not being keen to tie the landmark in with a Netflix show about the group as she didn’t want to relive their wild days.
An insider referred to Geri’s difficult time she has had in her marriage following allegations against her F1 boss husband Christian Horner when they told the Daily Mail: “It might have been awkward for Geri to get out there and talk about Girl Power in these circumstances surrounding Christian but in truth even before it all came out she wasn’t keen on revisiting those days.
“She just didn’t want to go over all the fun, wild times that they had.”

The unnamed complainant has since been suspended by the team and has launched an appeal against the decision.

Guests were also handed cocktails before a lavish four-course dinner, which included oysters and Italian-inspired starters.
Main courses included sea bass and steak, and Victoria was presented with a huge birthday cake.
