Emma Bunton shows her glamorous side in a new shoot for Red magazine.
Motherhood looks to be agreeing with Emma Bunton.
After only giving birth five months ago to her first child Beau, the ex-Spice Girl is already looking as trim as she did before her pregnancy.
Her trademark golden locks seem to have regained their shine and her skin is glowing.
Emma Bunton said she loved being curvy when she was pregnant with her first child Beau
To say the least, she seems revived.
But things have also been hectic for the new mother.
Her reunion tour with the Spice Girls came only two and a half months after she gave birth, making her fitness regime intense and difficult.
Glowing: The Spice Girl said she didn’t feel happy when thin
‘At the time, I thought going on tour so soon after Beau would be a great idea,’ Emma told Red magazine.
‘I should have thought about it more! I had the best time, but it was hard.
‘You have to get back in shape and your fitness has to be up to a two-hour stage show every night.
‘I don’t know if I’ll put myself through that again.
‘It’s tough for any woman returning to work straight after having a baby.
‘I didn’t want to be in the gym 24 hours a day, instead of being with Beau.
‘And I wanted to breastfeed for the first couple of months.
Glamour girl: Emma said she had to work hard to get in shape for the Spice Girls tour and initially felt self-conscious on stage
‘I did lots of walking, but I couldn’t do sit-ups because I’d had a Caesarean, as I was overdue.
‘So, for the first four weeks after having Beau, I did nothing, absolutely nothing.
‘I had to relax and take time out.’
As with any pregnancy, insecurities may arise and Emma admitted to feeling self-conscious when she was on stage.
‘The first fortnight of the tour I did feel self-conscious but, one night, I was up on stage and it just hit me: hold on, Emma, everyone knows you’ve just had a baby, enjoy it,’ she said.

‘After that it was wonderful and I had a great time.
‘And I like being curvy. I don’t think I’d look good thin.
‘I’m careful. I don’t have carbs for dinner, but I love crisps and Coke and great wine and Chinese food.
‘I could never be one of those people who thinks about their figure 24/7’
Despite rumours that some of The Spice Girls had been engaged in all-out warfare during the tour, Emma remains adamant that they actually had a great time – and were very supportive.
‘The other girls were brilliant,’ she said.
”They kept asking me how I was doing and if I needed a break.
‘I think you forget the pain, the tiredness, and they probably just thought I’d be fine.
‘But they were really supportive and they all loved Beau.
‘It was so nice, we’d be rehearsing and the kids would all by running around.’
Emma was also keen to stress how close she was to Victoria Beckham.
‘To me, she’s just Victoria, my friend,’ she said.
‘She’s an amazing mother and she’s very funny.
‘She was texting me this morning and I was in hysterics – that’s the part I see.’
Kate Lawler hits beach in skimpy black bikini
Just two months after running the London Marathon, Kate Lawler appears a shadow of her former self.
The 2002 Big Brother winner looked dangerously thin as she soaked up the sunshine on a Spanish beach last week.
A fit and athletic Kate, 28, was recently pictured running the marathon wearing only Ann Summers lingerie to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
But despite downing a pint of beer, there was no sign of a beer belly as ultra-slim Kate headed for a swim in a skimpy black bikini.

Kate’s body shape has fluctuated since coming out of the BB house as the 5ft 7in star’s weight at one point dropped down to 8st 8lb.
The DJ reportedly refuses to eat carbohydrates in the evening and trains four to five times a week at the gym.
Kate said: “I’ve always been a big eater but I stay skinny because I’m so active. I never have dessert but I can’t resist bread.”.
Yo-Yo: Kate’s weight appears to have dropped dramatically in the last few months.
