Baby Spice

Emma Lee Bunton (born 21 January 1976) is an English singer, songwriter, actress, and media personality. She rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the girl group Spice Girls, in which she was nicknamed Baby Spice, reflecting the fact that she was the youngest member. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the group became the best-selling female group of all time. During the Spice Girls hiatus, Bunton released her debut solo album, A Girl Like Me (2001), which debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart, and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 100,000 copies. The album spawned the single "What Took You So Long?", which topped the UK Singles Chart. The album also contains the top five singles "What I Am" and "Take My Breath Away". Her second studio album, Free Me (2004), included the top five single "Free Me", and the top ten singles "Maybe" and "I'll Be There". Following the release of her third studio album, Life in Mono (2006), which included the top 3 single "Downtown", Bunton reunited with the Spice Girls in 2007 for a one-off international tour and greatest hits album. In April 2019, she released her fourth studio album, My Happy Place. In the summer of 2019, she reunited with the Spice Girls for a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Bunton's television appearances include a recurring role on the BBC One comedy series Absolutely Fabulous (2003-2012), being a contestant on the fourth series of the BBC dancing competition show Strictly Come Dancing, and being a judge on the ITV celebrity skating show Dancing on Ice (2010–2011) and entertainment series Your Face Sounds Familiar (2013).
