Emma said: "Me, Geri and Mel C were there. Mel B in in LA as she still has commitments and her children.
"She's rehearsing there, which is really funny. She learns the same steps as us. We're facetiming. We're doing the same rehearsals but she's there.
Revealing when Mel B would be back, Emma added: "Then she comes over soon. I think she's coming over in the next few weeks and then we learn it all together."
Emma gave Spice Girls fans an update on how the first week of rehearsals were going.
"I’ve got a terrible memory," she confessed. "Yesterday we did our first two numbers with all the choreography. I surprised myself. It all came back."
Emma revealed they were "keeping with the classics" and that Stop was definitely on the set list.
When asked if she thought the tour would be peaceful, Emma admitted: "I hope so. Who knows? Of course.
"The thing is being in a girl band there's something that connects us so deepy. We're going to have the little things. Families do."
Emma also spoke about her first solo album in a decade - my Happy Place.
The whole family, including partner Jade Jones, her kids and even their dog, appear in the video for her new single.
Emma confessed it was "nerve wracking" but she loved being back in the studio.
She said: "I love the whole process. I wanted to make sure it was a family thing. We went in the studio. Jade came in. Jade and I do a duet."
I feel very lucky we can do that. obviously they have to go to school
