For a Spice Girls superfan, what could be better than being given a public platform to enthuse about your beloved girlband? Actually getting surprised by one of them live on camera, that's what.
Baby Spice – aka Emma Bunton – gave just that treat to a group of devoted fans, and watching it is probably the best way to start your weekend
What to Read Next
The BuzzFeed clip filmed unsuspecting Spice Girls fans who thought it would just be a video about how important the band was to them.
However, moments after opening up about their personal stories, Bunton popped up from behind a screen, having listened in… and yep, they were shocked and delighted in equal measure. Some were even moved to tears.
Speaking to one fan, the popstar recalled what fans meant to them in their heyday: "It was an incredible time, but it was amazing to watch other women and girls – it was so nice to have that support from fans and people who believed in what we were doing.
"We just felt like we had a message, we had great music. Just writing our own songs was really important to us because we wanted for you guys to identify with whatever we wrote."
One fan also movingly told her: "As a young gay kid, it was a thing of like: 'Oh, I'm different'. I would read about you guys and what you guys went through, and I was like: 'You know, I'm gonna be gay and I'm gonna own it!'"
Bunton also revealed that they put boogers under their manager's desk, and to be honest we think that may be TMI.
As for those endless reunion reports, rumours recently emerged that three-fifths of the group – aka GEM (aka Geri Horner, Bunton and Mel B) – could do a joint tour with the Backstreet Boys.
