Emma Bunton is to perform on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
The 48-year-old singer is expected to sing Spice Girls’ 1996 hit 2 Become 1, as the professional dancers twirl around the BBC One show’s dancefloor on Christmas Day.
While Emma will not be joined by her band members – Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Mel B and Mel C – the star’s appearance will see her and 54-year-old pal Tamzin Outhwaite come together.
The ex-EastEnders actress will battle it out with five other celebrities – The Last Leg star Josh Widdicombe, Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK contestant Tayce, model and TV personality Vogue Williams, Gladiators‘ Nitro star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and racing driver and commentator Billy Monger – as they compete to be named Strictly Christmas Champion.
Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special airs at 3.55pm on Christmas Day on BBC One, and it will later be available on BBC iPlayer.
A documentary titled Strictly Come Dancing: 20 Fabulous Years, celebrating two decades of the dance competition, will air at 7pm on Saturday 21 December on BBC One and iPlayer
