Emma Buntonis reassuringSpice Girlsfans thatMelanie “Mel B” BrownandGeri Halliwell Hornerare on amicable terms ahead of the group’supcoming tour.
“I must admit, I was like, ‘What about me?’ I felt a bit left out,” Bunton jokingly said during her appearance on the U.K.’sJonathan Ross Show, according to reports.
In March, Halliwell Horner,who famously split from the Spice Girls in 1998, denied allegations that she had sex with her bandmate in the mid-’90s after Brown said they did in an interview, revealing that it “wasn’t a big deal” and “just a one-night thing.”

A rep for Halliwell Horner told PEOPLE that the claim is “simply not true and has been very hurtful to her family.”
During her recent talk show appearance, Bunton confirmed Brown and Halliwell Horner have seemingly moved on from the drama and are focusing on tour preparations.
“Of course, we are starting rehearsals on Monday. It’s all fine,” Bunton said.
“We have all chatted about it. Listen, we had fun back in the day. I didn’t know anything else but you know, we are all good,” she continued, adding, “We all know each other’s characters so well that we deal with each other in different ways, we have different friendships, so we work really well together.”
The British pop legends announced in November 2018 that they will embark on a stadium tour in 2019. One member who will not be taking part is Victoria Beckham, a.k.a. Posh Spice, due to other business commitments, including her fashion line.
