An insider revealed the band is planning a huge concert at London’s Hyde Park.
The band’s producer, Eliot Kennedy, said he’d been working on new music with GEM.
He said: "We wrote a brilliant song and the energy was exactly like it was 20 years ago.
“Just as enthusiastic, just as much to say, just as much to celebrate.
"I think they have something to do with way female artists are perceived in the pop charts nowadays.

He added: “I think they've had a massive effect on pop music and pop culture, so it's a good time to celebrate."
Beckham and Mel C, Posh and Sporty, are not joining the reunion, but could reprise their roles in the future.
Beckham express how she wanted her daughter Harper to see her perform, seeing as she was too young in 2008 when they last toured.
