If you didn't know by know by now, Emma Stone is a big fan of the Spice Girls. Like, really big.

The actress joined her co-stars Andrew Garfield and Jamie Foxx to promote their upcoming movie, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, during a Friday appearance on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show. While there, Stone was once again asked about her fascination with the most popular girl group of all time.

"I just feel like I've been talking more about the Spice Girls on this press tour than I have about the movie!" the 25-year-old actress said. (It all started when Mel B sent her a video message in Australia.)

"I was a fiend. I was obsessed with the Spice Girls, and they taught me about girl power. I love them. I think they're fantastic. Today, on the radio, Mel C talked to me over Skype. So it's really very exciting."

Neither Scary nor Sporty is her favorite band member, however. That honor belongs to Baby, Emma Bunton. Asked to name her second favorite, Stone replied, "Don't do that! All of the other four!"

Host Graham Norton then teased the superfan, saying, "One gave you a video message and one talked to on Skype, but you're telling me you've never met a Spice Girl..."

"Are you going to do something right now?" Stone asked. "Wait, hold on! I have to mentally prepare myself." She then revealed that her boyfriend was "equally excited" by the prospect of meeting them.

"As you know, Emma, it's very rare for more than one Spice Girl to appear together for any reason at all," Norton told his guest, who was squirming in her seat. After a pause, he added, "So...they're not here!"

What an adorable letdown!
