Emma Bunton "Baby Spice" Bio
Emma Lee Bunton was born on January 21, 1976 in Barnet, in northern London. When Emma was 11, her parents, Trevor and Pauline separated. However, due to the busy schedules the aspiring singer had as a child doing extracurricular activities (i.e. modeling and doing commercials), the separation of the youngster's parents didn't affect her negatively as much as many had anticipated, as per All Music.
Emma studied at the St. Theresa's Roman Catholic primary school during her grade school years. Furthermore, "Baby Spice" studied theater at Sylvia Young Theatre School when she was young. Emma dropped out of high school at 16, and went on to study drama at Barnet Technical College.
