The Wannabe hitmakers last performed as a fivesome at the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, and without fashion designer Victoria in 2019 because she wanted to focus on her family and her business.
Mel C admitted she and Mel B have been leading the charge for potential celebrations, but she said the group all feel some pressure about doing things ‘the wrong way’.
She continued: ‘I think me and Mel B are the cheerleaders and Emma’s totally with us, but we all love it so much.
‘I think it’s so precious to us. We’re frightened to do it the wrong way.
‘So it’s like we’re still working, we’re always talking, lines of communication are open and we are just waiting until we all decide on exactly the best way to do it.’
It comes days after Victoria snubbed Geri from her birthday tribute to Mel C amid rumours of a feud.
Posh Spice took to her Instagram on Monday to wish her former bandmate a Happy 52nd Birthday with a sweet throwback picture.
It showed Mel C, Mel B, Emma and herself sitting down together as they smiled for a photo while giving the peace sign.

However, Geri, 53, was noticeably absent from the Spice Girls throwback image.
Victoria had captioned the Instagram story: ‘Happy Birthday @melaniecmusic! Kisses @officialmelb @emmaleebunton xxx.’
The rest of the group – including Geri – all took ]to their own social media accounts to publish their tributes for Sporty Spice.
Emma, 49, penned: ‘Happy birthday to my beautiful friend @melanicecmusic. Through every chapter, every laugh and every adventure, we’ve always had each other. So grateful for you today and always. Love you loads.’
Mel B, 50, wrote: ‘Happy birthday my Melanie ! Love you sooooo much and I’m always soooo proud of you !!!! miss you I adore you can’t wait to see you …. NORTHENERS!!!’
While Geri shared: ‘Happy Birthday! Love you so much. You are an epic soul sister, a truly kind and loving person who I am glad to know ❤️ Love, Geri xx’
Victoria’s post not including Geri comes after reports the women were said to be clashing over the direction of a potential reunion to mark the 30th anniversary of Wannabe.
It also comes after it was revealed how the Spice Girls are said to be overrulling Geri after she derailed plans for a Netflix biopic about their rise to fame which would net the group £1M each.
Mel B, Mel C, Emma and Victoria are implementing the group’s ‘rule of four’ to plough on without all five members in agreement, after previously using the pact to tour without Posh in 2019.
Insiders have previously claimed talks were going well until Geri decided to back out of her involvement in the project and scrapped plans for a tour after her feud with Mel B turned increasingly ugly.

Ginger Spice reportedly turned down the lucrative drama deal amid rumours she and husband Christian Horner had been approached to make a ‘really personal’ fly-on-the-wall TV series, following his sexting scandal and Red Bull axing.
A source said in October: ‘Geri has been dragging her heels for almost a year and the rest of the band are keen to plough ahead as next year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of their debut single Wannabe’.
‘A variety of projects are being talked about to mark the occasion, including a documentary and a possible tour or performance by the group. But a drama doesn’t actually involve the girls taking as much time out of their lives to be a part of it’.
They continued to The Sun: ‘They just need to endorse the project and provide what input and insight they can. That has been slowed way down, however, and the creators are keen to get going’.
Daily Mail contacted all five Spice Girls for comment at the time.
Last year the streaming service reportedly given the feuding band a ‘stark ultimatum’ and told them to make up otherwise, much like controversial drama The Crown, will produce the show without any input from the people featured in it.
