SEE VIDEO Spice Girls cancel Strictly Come Dancing

Group out of BBC show this Saturday after Emma Bunton takes a tumble

The Spice Girls have had to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday.

The group were due to perform 2 Become 1 on the semi-final results show - but Emma Bunton, 31, has twisted her ankle.

James Blunt, 33, will replace the girls but hasn't promised to wear a Roberto Cavalli silver jumpsuit or perilous platform boots, so it won't be quite the same.

Show bosses are hoping to get Posh, Ginger, Sporty, Scary and Baby on for the final the following week.

Baby Spice - once recovered - and Mel B, 32, are expected to show off their dancing skills.

Emma appeared on the BBC show last year, while Scary was runner-up on US show Dancing With The Stars.

But X Factor judge Simon Cowell, 48, will be delighted the Spices are a no-show this weekend.

‘I know The X Factor were desperate to get the band on for the semi-final or final,' a source tells The Sun, 'but it was Strictly that won out in the end.’
