London, Jan 21 : A proposed reunion of the Spice Girls for performing at the London Olympics has hit a roadblock in the form of former band member, Victoria Beckham.
Recent reports in the US suggested that all of the other members are willing to go ahead and perform at the huge sporting event, but Posh is not on board.
The one time number one girl band are close to securing a deal because Mel B is allegedly pushing them to reunite and is slowly convincing the rest of them to do it.
Scary Spice has the full support of Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice, and the mother-of-one has said in the past that she would jump at the chance to take over a stage one more time.
Mel B, who has become a successful stage actress, is obviously massively into sport and would like to perform in the Olympic stadium.
"The Olympics would be brilliant, but I don't know the truth. I'd love to do something, but it would have to involve all five of us," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
However, Beckham's reluctance is putting the whole reunion into doubt.
"Mel B and Emma Bunton are agreeable to doing it, but the holdout seems to be Victoria Beckham. She has so much going on. and she isn't agreeing to it - yet!" RadarOnline quoted a source as saying.
`Mel B is pushing for it to happen. It would be an opportunity of a lifetime for the band to perform in front of a worldwide audience in front of the best athletes in their country - well, there are no words!" the source said.
However, she may change her mind if husband David Beckham is selected to play for Great Britain in the summer.
Fans can expect to hear more from the Spice Girls, who last reunited in 2007 for a tour, when a musical production about them gets underway.
All of the girls have signed an allowance to allow the use of their names in the musical which has been written by English comic Jennifer Saunders. (ANI)
