Emma Bunton shows off cooking skills on TV show

Former Spice Girls star Emma Bunton can add chef to her resume after she helped to bake a cake on a TV show on Wednesday.

The singer and her fiance Jade Jones joined celebrity cook Gino D'Acampo to prepare sweet treats for a slot on ITV show Let's Do Lunch With Gino & Mel.

She was given two minutes to mix icing for a red velvet cake but was sent into a spin as she struggled with the task, telling viewers, "I can't believe it. This is pressure... I'm getting scared. There's a mess!"

When the finished cake was removed from the oven to be covered in strawberries, Bunton and Jones thanked D'Acampo for his cooking tips and vowed to try making the dessert at home for their son Beau's upcoming fifth birthday next month.

Bunton added, "This is perfect because our boy's birthday is coming up and he loves strawberries and he loves red velvet cake."
