Baby Spice's Sprained Ankle 'Will Not Stop London Show'
The first UK date in the Spice Girls' reunion tour is set to go ahead despite Emma Bunton AKA Baby Spice spraining her ankle earlier this week.
Emma slipped on stage at the girls' show at the Mandalay Bay Hotel on Las Vegas on Tuesday. She has been on crutches since then and the injury has also forced the girls to cancel their planned appearance on Saturday's episode of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The girls are due to start a seventeen-date residency at London's O2 Arena on Saturday with three shows planned this month, followed by another 14 dates in January.
In a statement on the band's website on Thursday, Emma said: "Unfortunately I have sprained my ankle, so I am hobbling around on crutches." However, she added: "I'm sure to make a speedy recovery and see you all at The O2".
The 31-year-old also confirmed that she was saying David Beckham's - husband of fellow Spice Girl Victoria - doctor and said that she was "praying" that she would be fine.
