Spice Girl Emma Bunton told to 'shut up' in tense clash on breakfast show

Spice Girls star Emma Bunton got firmly put in her place in an abrupt and awkward exchange during her appearance on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch this weekend when she got told to "shut up" by a fellow guest on the show.

The entire show had several chaotic moments which even caused 55-year-old host Tim Lovejoy to begin choking as he fell into an uncontrollable bout of hysterics and couldn't hold back his laughter, reports the Mirror.

Chef Simon Rimmer, 60, had been demonstrating how to make fish soup when he was interrupted by the coughing host. He asked him "You alright now?," to which Tim replied, “No I’m not."

The hysterical chaos only cooled down when the cooking programme shifted to an ad break and the host was likely able to soothe his throat with a drink and take a minute to chill out from all the carnage.

Tim blamed it on hayfever when the Channel 4 show returned, and later jokingly suggested all trees should be chopped down to which Simon was forced to step in and clarify he wasn't being serious.

Amid everything else going on, 47-year-old Emma Bunton was also on the show to discuss her new UK tour alongside Texas star Sharleen Spiteri who was there to chat about the band's greatest hits album. Texas are also due to perform at Glastonbury.

During the segment Tim and Simon brought up the weather forecast for next weekend's festival as they revealed it's likely to pour down following weeks of sunshine. Sharleen grumbled she’d rather that not be the case.

But a cheery-faced Emma looked on the brighter side as she admitted she "loved to dance in the rain," which prompted a snapping response from Sharleen who told her to "shut up."

She quipped: “You enjoying dancing in the rain from the side of the stage,” hinting that she would likely have backstage passes and be under cover rather than in quagmire with punters.
