Emma Bunton reveals Madonna visited the Spice Girls after Geri quit
In our new August issue – available to download now – we sit down with Emma Bunton to mark 20 years of Girl Power and look back at her time as part of the most iconic girl group of all time.
In the interview, Baby opens up about how she felt when Geri famously quit the band in 1998.
“I was very hurt at the time. As the youngest, I relied on Geri,” Emma tells us.
The 40-year-old adds that she bottled up emotions in the wake of the split, and didn’t tell anyone how she was feeling – not even Madonna.
“I remember when Madonna came to see us after Geri left,” recalls Emma, “and Madonna loves a gossip.”
“She was asking us all about it but, at the time, it was just so raw, I was like ‘Er, I’m just gonna go play with [Madonna’s daughter] Lourdes.”
