'The problem was it then got hyped up into a much bigger story, and it didn’t help that we were just about to begin rehearsals [for reunion tour]'.
'It was awkward. We hadn’t been back in the situation of being together every single day, being on stage, rehearsing, getting ourselves back into Spice Girls mode, and then all the headlines about our relationship were thrown into the mix, which was pretty bad timing.'
