Biography
Emma Lee Bunton was born on the 21st January 1976 in Finchley,
North London to parents Pauline, a karate instructor, and Trevor, a
milkman. They split up when Emma was 11, and she stayed with her
mum. She also has a younger brother, P.J. (Paul) who she is very
close to. Emma's career began at an early age when she started
doing modelling work for such things as Mothercare, Mentadent P
toothpaste and Polly Pocket. She attended the famous Sylvia Young
Drama School in London, during which time she auditioned for
several TV parts including that of Bianca in Eastenders, but none
of them really panned out. She can be seen briefly in both
Eastenders and The Bill, but only in minor parts. It wasn't long
after she left Sylvia Young's that she joined the Spice Girls
(after the original 5th Spice Girl, Michelle Stephenson, left). 2
albums, 8 No. 1 singles and a film later and the Spice Girls are
still going strong. Emma is due to appear in the BBC musical drama
'Sleeping Beauty' which is in filming at the moment and will be out
by the end of the year. The Spice Girls 3rd album will also be out
later in the year (or possibly early 2000).
