It comes after Ginger denied Mel's claim they had a lesbian fling - saying she found it 'very hurtful'
THE Spice Girls today reunited for tour rehearsals, bringing Mel B and Geri Horner together for the first time since Scary's bombshell lesbian sex claims.
Emma Bunton shared a video of the pair and the rest of the girls - though perhaps tellingly they were so far apart they were never in the same shot. And in a picture of the rehearsals, Geri is seen turning her back on Mel.
The pair appeared to fall out last month after Mel claimed she had slept with Geri, 46, while in the 90s girlband during a recording of Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
Days later, Geri issued a statement denying the liaison saying that she found the claims "very hurtful".
In today's video, Emma is seen screaming: "Look who's here!" as Geri and Mel C appear over one shoulder and Mel B - sticking her tongue out - the other.
Mel has been kept apart from the rest of the Spice Girls in LA, though she has been learning the same routines alone.
She did fly home to the UK to film on Piers' show, where he asked her: "You were coming here to be brutally honest - did or didn't you sleep with Geri Halliwell?"
She initially swerved the question, saying: "Yeah. We all slept in a bed together, but not like that, all of us."
However, Piers pinned the 43-year-old down, asking: "Did you sleep with Geri like that?"
She smiled and eventually nodded - as Piers squawked: "Yes? Really?"
Mel later admitted she has had long conversations with Geri about the confession.
She explained: "I did the interview, but I just texted her and said: 'I admitted on Piers that we had a little bit of a thing but don't worry about it, it was all tongue in cheek and I didn't go into detail.'
"'I said: 'This was pre your husband, pre your baby, pre one of my babies. It's fine.' I don't know why everyone's making such a big deal about it."
She added: "We had a long conversation. She texted me the night of [the interview] and then we spoke at length today - amongst other things cos we're getting ready for tour right now."
Emma recently explained how rehearsals for the Spice Girls tour were carrying on, despite one of them being on the other side of the world.
Speaking on This Morning, she said: "Me, Geri and Mel C were there. Mel B in in LA as she still has commitments and her children.
"She's rehearsing there, which is really funny. She learns the same steps as us. We're FaceTiming. We're doing the same rehearsals but she's there."
