Emma Bunton may be considered the sweet one in the Spice Girls, but it turns out Baby Spice isn’t as innocent as she seems after a little sexting mishap with her partner of over two decades, Jade Jones.
Chatting to Paul O’Grady on his new show (via The Mirror), Emma says she stills sends sexy texts to Jade every so often to keep things spicy (heh) but things went slightly awry when she ended up accidentally sexting her mum instead.
Needless to say that Baby Spice was just a wee bit mortified that she ended up sending a naughty lil sumthin’ sumthin’ to the wrong person. But hey, at least it was only her mum and not a stranger.
“I was away from my other half for a few days. But we are very much in love and I love sleeping next to him.
“We are together all the time. So I decided that I would send a mucky text. A cheeky text. A sext.
“I did a little selfie with the boobies. I did have a bra on. But I did a sleazy kind of little selfie and a ‘Miss you’ and ‘Wish you…’ – and sent it to my mother.”
But kudos to Emma’s mum for having a “great sense of humour” as she took the wayward sext in good stride, even if it left Baby Spice “mortified”.
Wayward sexting moments are the stuff of nightmares but hats off to Emma Bunton for owning it like a champ. If anything, it’s actually pretty damn cool that she and Jade are still so in love with each other after all this time together.
If there’s something to be gleaned from this odd yet weirdly sweet sexting story is that Baby Spice is not only the innocent one of the Spice Girls, she’s definitely the most relatable because who among us haven’t accidentally sent a nude pic that was meant for a partner to a parent?
