Are you over 5 foot 3 and can you sing?” All these sorts of questions.‘And I thought, “I’m not, I’m 5 foot 1.” So I literally went out and bought myself the first pair of Buffalo boots just so I could be 5 foot 3.‘Me and my Mum went to Covent Garden and bought these big Buffalos so I could look 5 foot 3.’Emma added that she moved in with the rest of the girls – Geri Haliwell, Mel C, Mel B and Victoria
