Baby Joy for Emma

POP star Emma Bunton has given birth to her own Baby Spice – a boy called Beau.

The Spice Girl, aged 31, and boyfriend Jade Jones’s first baby was born at 11.12am at London’s private Portland Hospital yesterday.

Bunton’s spokesman said she was “doing fine” and the first request the singer had following the birth was for Coca-Cola and flapjacks.

The singer, known as Baby Spice during her days as a Spice Girl, was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2004, a condition which can make it difficult to conceive.

She and Jones, a former member of Nineties boy band Damage, have been together for eight years and finally moved in together last year.
