Spice Girls ‘Baby’ Emma Bunton teaches Holly Willoughby moves to Stop

Emma Bunton has revealed she is teaching best friend Holly Willoughby Spice Girls moves ahead of the historical reunion.

The 90s girl group yesterday announced plans to reunite – minus Victoria Beckham – for a six-date UK tour next summer.

Willoughby celebrated the news with a picture of Geri Horner, Mel C, Mel B and Bunton, whose face she surrounded with love hearts.

She captioned the shot: “This makes me soooooo happy! @emmaleebunton.”

Bunton revealed she has been practising the moves with Willoughby after playing the group’s 1997 hit Stop on Tuesday morning’s Heart radio show.

“So we just heard Stop,” co-host Jamie Theakston said. “You still remember all the moves presumably?”

Bunton replied: “I do remember all the moves. It’s Holly Willoughby’s favourite song so I had to teach her the routine.”

The foursome ended months of speculation on breaking the news via a video announcement on Monday afternoon.

The girls tried their hand at broadcasting in a mock news bulletin before transforming into their Spice Girls alter egos Baby, Scary, Sporty and Ginger to announce their mini stadium tour.

Mel B said she is "beside myself" and looking forward to being able to "properly scream it from every rooftop". Bunton and Horner both said they are excited to "celebrate girl power with our fans and the next generation".

They will take part in their first interview since reuniting on Wednesday morning’s Heart radio show, which Bunton promised will be “carnage”.

Beckham, aka Posh Spice, sent her “love” in an emotional Instagram post in which she confirmed she wouldn’t be “joining my girls”.
