Emma Bunton would rather be part of a group than go it alone. 

The singer, who shot to fame as one-fifth of the Spice Girls in 1996, has also enjoyed a chart-topping solo career and released her fourth album ‘My Happy Place’ in 2019. 

But speaking to The Guardian, Emma suggested she’d happily never return head out on her own again, calling it her “greatest fear”. 

“Being on my own [is my greatest fear] – I love being in a team,” she confessed.

“I am so glad I was in a group and wasn’t solo, because I would have found that hard.”

The Free Me star’s comments come after she recently admitted she’s keen to hit the studio and record some new tracks with Mel B, Geri Horner and Melanie C. 

“I love writing with the girls, we have such a laugh in the studio,” she said. 

Mel B also recently discussed the possibility of new music from the group, which is currently active as a four-piece following the departure of Victoria Beckham in 2019. 

“We’ve been more about the lines of doing music together and hopefully getting the tour up and running because everything got shut down because of lockdown,” the singer shared. 

“My aim is for us to get back together and do some more songs together – and hopefully getting up on stage and entertaining everybody again.”

And Emma seems to be on the same page, admitting she, Mel, Geri Horner and Melanie C were in the early stages of planning gigs before the pandemic. 

“We started talking about maybe doing some more and then lockdown happened which is such a shame,” she sighed.

“I’m dying to do it again. I’m waiting to see what’s going on in the world.

“You can’t book anything yet, so we’re waiting for that moment, but I’m sure that will happen when we can!”
