Holly Willoughby cheekily joked about 'girl power' after calling out her Spice Girl pal Emma Bunton during an appearance at KSI's boxing match on Saturday night at London's Wembley Arena. The This Morning presenter headed with husband Dan Baldwin to watch MF & DAZN: X Series 004 which was headlined by KSI vs FaZe Temperrr.
Those watching were surprised to see the blonde beauty taking her seat in the audience and was also spotted in the crowd by host Big Zuu, who wasted no time in asking Holly if there were any 'galdem' she wouldn't mind getting into the ring with. And she didn't mind picking out one of her closest pals.
Holly, 41, explained how she knew that Emma would be watching the fight at home with her son before joking that she'd like to meet her in the ring. She told DAZN: "Do you know what? I know one of my very good friends, who is normally on stage in here - Spice Girl Emma Bunton - is watching this at home with her son Beau..."

She then added: "So I'm calling her out. You, Emma Bunton." Also in the YouTube video from Misfits Boxing, Holly admitted she did not know much about boxing. She added: "It's unbelievable in here. I've never been to anything quite like this before. I walked in and I'm not even in the ring but my adrenaline just went through the roof. There's a real atmosphere in here, everyone just has fever-pitch excitement. It's amazing."
And she appeared to have a great night as she saw KSI defeat FaZe Temperrr in his return to the ring via round 1 KO. Posting a picture of the YouTuber, rapper and boxer celebrating his win in the ring as Holly's son's appeared to watch on to her Instagram, Holly wrote to her millions of followers: "Well that was quite the night… congratulations @ksi #misfitsboxing @misfitsboxing @drinkprime … Thank you @sauerlandbros for making the night special."
But mum-of-three Holly couldn't escape her earlier comments as one fan replied: "Emma bunton vs Holly on the next misfits card!!" to which Holly posted a crying laughing emoji and typed: "… girl power!" Another follower also joked: "Brilliant wasn’t it, I can’t wait for you to take on Emma Bunton."
@jamie.bradbury.5891 said: "Emma bunton is setting a 5am alarm for training run...!!!...game on lmao." @djtom94 posted: "Looking forward to 005 with you against Emma!"
However, it wasn't long before normality resumed for Holly after her family night out with her rarely seen TV producer husband as she spent Sunday getting ready before going live on Dancing on Ice. The TV star was back rinkside alongside Phillip Schofield as the hit ITV skating show returned to screens.
Before appearing on screen, Holly took to Instagram to share a look at her gorgeous ensemble for the first episode. She looked incredible as she showed off her hourglass figure in a sparkling black plunging dress with a fishtail skirt while her trademark blonde locks had been styled into a tousled blow-dried hairdo.
"And so the story of @dancingonice 2023 begins… good luck to the whole team… you got this!!!! See you on @itv at 6:30!!! #hwstyle dress by @rasario jewellery by @astridandmiyu heels by @sophiawebster." Holly penned alongside the backstage snap. She then shared a follow-up video of her posing in the glistening gown which she simply captioned with a black heart emoji before the compliments came flooding in.
