Personal Profile About Emma Bunton
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), whom she is very close to. Emma's career began at an early age when she started doing modeling 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 (1985), but none of them really panned out. She can be seen briefly in both EastEnders (1985) and The Bill (1984), 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.
