EMMA Bunton sparked fury amongst her fans after claiming she had to leave a TV appearance early to rehearse – but then went on a boozy lunch.
The Spice Girl, 46, told Sunday Brunch viewers that she couldn’t hang around due to work commitments, but just hours later she was seen with Holly Willoughby and Nicole Appleton enjoying a festive day out.

After about an hour of the show, Emma got up saying: “I have got to rehearse for my Christmas show. I have only got a week left but thanks for feeding me beforehand.”
Emma is taking to the stage for Emma Bunton and Friends, which takes place from December 12 – 19th.
But her fans spotted that she might not have been getting practise in as she shared videos from her Christmas afternoon on the Belmond British Pullman train – wearing the same outfit she had been on live TV.
A festive lunch aboard the train costs £520 per person and features a five course lunch, half a bottle of wine and champers to start.
Questioning her antics, one person wrote: “Is that why you left Sunday brunch early!!! Vx.”
A second commented: “Actually find it really unprofessional as she’s been paid for an appearance, lied to everyone and left early. So entitled.”
“Dreadful that she lied!” a third said.
While a fourth added: “You left Sunday Brunch early making out you had tour rehearsals!!!!!”
“Emma Emma Emma rehearsals you said on Sunday brunch … little liar u xx,” another commented.
The Celeb Report has contacted Emma’s rep for comment.
