Emma Bunton: Baby Spice would be frowned upon today

Her little girl image was dodgy

Emma Bunton

Emma Bunton doesn’t think she'd get away with her Baby Spice image of pigtails and mini-skirts today because of the apparent rise of paedophilia in modern society.

Now 30 and a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, Emma told The Guardian Weekend magazine: 'That's the thing, isn't it? It's just a shame... it was so innocent. At the time I never thought of the whole paedophilia thing.'

When asked if she realised how ambiguous her Baby Spice image was, Emma replied: 'Oh my God! I didn't. Not at all. But now... it's true, of course.

'I just think, oh my God, because I was obviously dressed up in tiny skirts. But I never thought anything of it.'
