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.
'We're starting Monday, we can't wait, we've all been chatting, it's all good.'
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, an announcement that left the audience - which included Mel C - open-mouthed in shock.
Discussing the fact that Mel B doesn't think before she speaks sometimes, Emma laughed: 'I love her. 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.
'I love it, I kind of bounce off it then I go home and have a sleep.'

On whether she and Mel C have been acting as the peacemakers of the group, Emma reasoned: 'I think 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, that's what is so good about us.'
The Spice Girls tour will kick off next month and will see Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Emma tour the country performing their greatest hits.

Victoria Beckham, who was originally the fifth member of the band, 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.
Recalling the moment all five girls last reunited - for the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony - she admitted that Victoria's mind was already set.
Emma revealed: 'I think we kind of realised at the Olympics that maybe it was something that she didn't want to do all the time anymore...
'I think it showed with Victoria that maybe this was something she wanted to move on from.'
Nervous: Emma admits she's worried about dancing on stage, confessing that she's cracked an ankle on every tour they did in the past
The tour will mark the first time the girls perform together - Victoria excluded - since the ceremony six years ago.
Yet Emma admits she's worried about dancing on stage, confessing that she's cracked an ankle on every tour they did in the past.
'I'm really nervous,' she admitted. 'I've got the worst memory out of all of the girls, so I'm nervous I'm not going to remember any of the dance routines.
'Also, I have cracked an ankle on every tour, I've fallen over. I've got a weak ankle!'
The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday at 9.25pm on ITV
