Spice Girls Share Photo from First Tour Rehearsal Since Mel B and Geri Halliwell Horner Drama

Despite a little recent drama, the Spice Girls were all smiles this week while rehearsing for their upcoming tour.

In their first rehearsal since Melanie “Mel B” Brown claimed she and Geri Halliwell Horner slept together back in the day — which Ginger Spice later denied — the women seemed to have put the incident behind them.

In a handful of clips and photos shared on the group’s official Twitter page on Wednesday, the pair were seen enjoying each other’s company along groupmates Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm.

One group photo from the day even shows all four women sitting together on a rehearsal prop while working on a number.

Building up anticipation for the upcoming tour dates, the image’s caption read, “remember to sure enjoy the show.”

Bunton went on to share a goofy video of all four women together.

“Look who’s here,” the singer, 43, remarked in the rehearsal video, as all of her groupmates mugged for the camera.

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 at the time that the claim is “simply not true and has been very hurtful to her family.”

Weeks later, Bunton went on to reassure fans that the pair are still on amicable terms and are focusing on tour preparations.

“Of course, we are starting rehearsals on Monday. It’s all fine,” Bunton said during her appearance on the U.K.’s Jonathan Ross Show, according to reports.

“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.

The six-date trek, which is currently slated only for the United Kingdom, will mark the first time the group has reunited since their high-profile turn during the closing of the Olympic Games in London back in 2012.

Halliwell Horner’s rep previously told PEOPLE that the star was looking forward to the reunion.

“Geri can’t wait to see the girls and all the fans on the tour, have an amazing time with everyone, and make some new memories,” her rep said in the statement.

The Spice Girls kick off their tour in Dublin, Ireland, on May 24.

Pop singer Jess Glynne has been tapped to serve as the Spice Girls’ opening act on the upcoming tour.
