Background

After Geri Halliwell's departure, the Spice Girls had a hiatus in 1999. The other members started their solo careers in music, but Bunton devoted to television projects and presented her own VH1's show, Emma. After the original screening VH1 wanted to sign a long-term program with Bunton, but she declined, focusing on her group's new album. The show was announced in 12 August and aired originally in October 8, with five weekly episodes. In 2000 she signed with ITV and hosted the breakfast programme, broadcast on weekdays from 9.00 am to 10.00 am. Bunton talked about the celebrity universe, including news about music, films and interviews with artists as Madonna and Bon Jovi. She left the program to start her solo career.
