Emma Bunton may not be the wildest of the Spice Girls, but she’s been at the centre of her share of juicy stories over the years.
The bubbly blonde has been happily settled with her partner Jade Jones for over 20 years and they live a peaceful live with their two boys.
But before that she was linked to chart-topper Justin Timberlake – and there’s even talk that she once had a playful kiss with her close friend Holly Willoughby.

In 2019, Emma shared that she once accidentally sexted her mum.
The singer was apart from her partner Jade for a few days so decided to send him a saucy text – but then accidentally pressed her mum’s number and sent it to her instead.
Telling the embarrassing story on a TV show, she said: “I was away from my other half for a few days. But we are very much in love and I love sleeping next to him. We are together all the time.
“So I decided that I would send a mucky text. A cheeky text. A sext.
“I did a little selfie with the boobies. I did have a bra on. But I did a sleazy kind of little selfie and a ‘Miss you’ and ‘Wish you…’ – and sent it to my mother.”
She admitted she was “mortified” about the whole thing.
