Emma Bunton used to "drink lots" when recording albums with the Spice Girls. The 46-year-old pop star shot to fame as Baby Spice in the 1990s girl group alongside Geri Halliwell, 50, Victoria Beckham, 48, Melanie C, 48, and Mel B, 47, and revealed that the fivesome used to drink a lot of booze in the studio because it was possible to "get away with anything" at the time.

Spice Girls legend Melanie Brown rose to fame in 1996 after releasing the single Wannabe with her fellow bandmates Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton.

Geri Halliwell has opened up about the possibility that a full Spice Girls reunion could take place.Halliwell – also known as Ginger Spice – was speaking as part of a new interview with Entertainment Tonight when she looked back on her time with the iconic girl group and cleared up the speculation that they will be reuniting to celebrate the milestone.Unfortunately for fans, the discussion saw the former pop star put a dampener on the possibility of a full reunion, as she confirmed that while she looks back at the time in the group with fond memories, she is now focusing entirely on another project – writing a children’s book.“For me, the Spice Girls belongs to the whole world – I’m really proud of that and I love being with the girls,” she began (via The News).“But I think, when I engage with something – it’s like any project is like children – I want to give it my 150 per cent,” she added, explaining that she is currently developing a character for her debut children’s book named Rosie Frost.Although seemingly reluctant to promise any hopes of a full-blown reunion with fellow members Victoria Beckham, Melanie C, Mel B, and Emma Bunton anytime soon, Halliwell did say that the prospect of a reunion at another time is still on the cards.“There will be a time when the other girls get together and that will be amazing and I always love – we have such fun,” she stated. “If Spice Girls is Disney, Rosie Frost is Pixar.

It's hard to imagine the Spice Girls stomping into the public consciousness in anything other than an explosion of Buffalo boots, mountains of merchandise and chants of 'Girl Power!'. But, in reality, their introduction was slightly more modest.

The Spice Girls have been discussing a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their hit Wannabe.

On the 31st May 1998 Spice Girl fans around the world were left devastated.
