Spice Girls united by strong friendship, says Emma Bunton

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton says “strong friendship” keeps her bandmates united, almost two decades after they burst on to the pop scene.

The 39-year-old, who topped the charts in July 1996 as one fifth of Britain’s most successful girl band, said her love for Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham remains as firm as ever.
