The Spice Girls reunite for rehearsals for the first time

The Spice Girls reunited publicly for the first time in months on Monday as they hit rehearsals ahead of their upcoming tour. 

Geri Horner, 46, was pictured wearing a big smile on her face, but there was no sign of Mel B, 43, after she made those lesbian fling claims about Ginger Spice. However, she does live in America, so it’s likely she could be joining them at a later date.

It had been thought the tour could have been placed into jeopardy as Geri was thought to be upset by Mel’s claim to Piers Morgan, 54, that they were once intimate.

Geri looked fresh-faced and happy as she arrived at the first rehearsals wearing a white leather jacket over black trousers. 

The singer arrived with her daughter Bluebell, 12, in tow, who sweetly held her hand as she made her way inside.  

The redhead has hired a dance trainer in recent weeks to help her relearn the dance routines, sharing Instagram videos with her fans and admitting she wanted a head start.

Baby Spice Emma Bunton, 43, was pictured on the day as well, wearing love-heart shaped sunglasses. 

She is also in the middle of promoting her new solo singing material. 

Last week, Emma insisted that the Spice Girls tour will go ahead as planned despite claims that Geri and Mel B had fallen out.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, which aired on Saturday, Baby Spice said things are ‘all good’ in the group, following Mel’s shock revelation that she slept with Geri during the band’s heyday. 

Following reports the Spice Girls tour is in jeopardy, Emma stressed: ‘Of course it’s happening, we are starting rehearsals on Monday! 

‘It’s all fine. 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. 

The shows begin June 1 at Etihad Stadium in Manchester and finish on June 15 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Staying true to her Sporty Spice moniker was Mel C, 45, who arrived wearing an anorak.

It is not yet known where Mel B is but she lives in LA so may well be arriving late or at a later session. 

Joking about her reaction to hearing of Geri and Mel’s fing, Emma quipped: ‘I must admit, I was like, “What about me?” I felt a bit left out.’ 

Mel’s bombshell confession about her past dalliance with Geri came during recording for Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.

The announcement left the audience – which included Mel C – open-mouthed in shock. 

The Spice Girls tour will kick off in June and will see Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Emma tour the country performing their greatest hits.

Victoria Beckham opted not to join in with the reunion, and despite claims that the designer would make a surprise appearance at the tour, Emma shot down the rumours.
