A spokesperson for Emma Bunton has just confirmed that the Spice Girl gave birth to a 7lbs 15oz boy called Beau. Mother and baby are doing well, although Emma devoured flapjacks and Coca Cola after the birth because she was hungry.
Alan Edwards said: "Emma gave birth to a boy at 11.12am this morning. The weight was 7lbs 15oz, which is the same weight as Jade [Jade Jones – the father] when he was born.
"I believe the name they have chosen is Beau, which is French for handsome.
"The phone's been ringing off the hook, but none of the Spice Girls have called yet. I'm sure they will but they're all out of the country at the moment."
Proud dad Jade has also spoken about his new son: "He is a very lovely boy. I'm over the moon."
