Emma Bunton is having a baby all of her very own!

The former Spice Girl, who at 31 is still often referred to as 'Baby' - her nickname from the group - said, "I guess I will be handing over (that) tag now to a deserving little new owner."

In a statement, her boyfriend Jade Jones added, "We are so happy, it's unbelievable news. What a great start to the New Year. We're really looking forward to having a family together and to the rest of our lives."

Em has been dating the ex-Damage star for eight years now and has, up until recently, been telling everyone how "broody" she's been feeling, so we guess this year got off to a busy start!

It means Scary, Posh, Ginger and now Baby have all been in the family way - now all we need is for Emma and Posh to have baby girls and for Sporty to get in on the act and in 18 years' time we'll have the Spice Girls Juniors.

Don't rule it out...
