Emma Bunton joked that she "felt a bit left out" after learning of Spice Girls bandmates Melanie Brown and Geri Horner's alleged fling, as she dismissed reports that the revelation has caused tension ahead of the group's upcoming tour.
Speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, the singer addressed Brown's comments, made while filming an episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories last month, telling the presenter: "I must admit, I was like, 'What about me?' I felt a bit left out."
Bunton insisted that the group's reunion tour would be going ahead despite the drama, with rehearsals set to begin next week.
"Of course it's happening, we are starting rehearsals on Monday!" she told Ross.
"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, we're starting Monday, we can't wait, we've all been chatting, it's all good."
The 43-year-old, whose solo album My Happy Place is released today, admitted that she loved Brown's "energy" and "spontaneous" attitude.
"I love her," she said. "That's what we love about Mel, don't we? She is so spontaneous. Even back in the day, it was so fun because she'd be [causing mischief]. I love that about energy. She's got so much energy, I just can't keep up."
Speaking on Morgan's Life Stories, Brown claimed that she and Horner slept with each other during the band's Nineties heyday, telling the host that the band had "all slept in a bed together" and nodding awkwardly when he asked if it was "like that" with Horner.
Horner has since described the comments as "untrue" and "hurtful" in a statement released through her representatives.

"It has been very disappointing to read about all these rumours again, especially on Mother's Day of all days," it read.
"Geri loves the Spice Girls: Emma, Melanie, Melanie and Victoria [Beckham]. She would like [the fans] to know that what has been reported recently is simply not true and has been very hurtful to her family."
Earlier this week, the band's representatives denied claims that they had scrapped world tour dates in the wake of Brown's comments, describing the reports as "inaccurate and factually untrue."
The Jonathan Ross Show airs on April 13 at 9.25pm on ITV.
