Emma Bunton went to my primary school in Finchley (St Theresa's). I never did manage to catch her in kiss chase.
Went to play tennis with a friend one day (this was around 1995) and he remarked that he had seen Emma on MTV. He claimed the band she was in looked terrible and we would never hear of them again..well he was half right
