Despite her jovial appearance, the 43-year-old singer wasn't in the mood to chat, when she boarded her flight at LAX the day before, giving a sassy response when asked whether or not she thought things would be awkward between her and Geri.

Scary Spice couldn't keep the smile off her face as she strolled through the terminal, cheering as she celebrated being back home and ready to join rehearsals with her bandmates.
The I Want You Back hitmaker looked casually cool for her arrival in a funky pastel pink tracksuit by Beyonce's label, Ivy Park.
She covered up her toned curves in a slouchy hoodie paired with matching joggers, completing the ensemble with coral trainers.
Her multi-coloured braids were worn flowing over her shoulders while she hid her sparkling peepers behind round shades.

The star looked fresh-faced despite the 11 hour trip across the Atlantic, smiling and laughing as she toted a larger Louis Vuitton holdall.
The Wannabe hitmaker was seen wearing a cream tracksuit and leopard print high-top trainers as she arrived at LAX the day before.
The star was keen to avoid interacting with videographers as she made her way to her flight with only half an hour to spare before take-off.
Mel was visibly disgruntled when asked by a videographer whether it may be awkward between her and Geri during the upcoming tour, and whether things between them had been 'cleared up'.
After flicking her purple braids to the side, she appeared agitated as she snapped: 'Why are you asking stupid questions?'

The band mates have been rehearsing in London to prepare for their upcoming tour - without Mel B who has, until now, been in LA.
Mel's flight to the UK comes after Emma Bunton revealed that she 'hasn't stopped smiling' during rehearsals with bandmates Mel C and Geri Horner as she shared a sweet Instagram snap of the trio on Saturday.
For the first week of rehearsals for the tour, Mel B joined in via FaceTime from her LA home in the wake of the drama surrounding her admission that she slept with Geri in their heyday.
Fifth member Victoria Beckham opted not to partake in the tour, but wished the girls well.
