Geri Halliwell wants her dress back

Ginger is desperate for the Union Jack mini that made her famous

Geri Halliwell wants to get her hands on that iconic Union Flag dress she donned at the 1997 Brits - so she can wear it for the Spice Girls reunion.

The 34-year-old sold the dress in 1998 for a whopping £41,000 to the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas in aid of charity.

But now she’s asked Simon Fuller, who’s masterminding the comeback, to get it back for the reunion tour - whatever the cost.

‘Geri has told the reunion team she wants to wear the dress on stage again,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘It can’t be a copy, it has to be the real thing. It could cost a bob or two to get back but she wants them to pay whatever it takes.’

The tentative plan is for there to be a section where the girls return to their original look.

‘Imagine Mel B in leopardskin, Mel C in a tracksuit, Emma Bunton in cute baby pink and Victoria Beckham in a little black dress. It would be the highlight of the show,’ says the source.

The original dressed was knocked together out of a flag and an old frock by Geri’s half-sister Karen Davis. But super-slim Geri will now probably need to have it taken in.
