Emma Bunton felt inspired after learning about children’s rights at a London primary school which focused on Unicef teachings.

The Spice Girl went to George Spicer Primary school to learn about how children’s rights improve educational outcomes.

Baby Spice, who joined the kids in a day of fun activities, exclaimed: ‘It’s been amazing to spend time with the children and to see how engaged and passionate they are learning about their rights – from the right to play to the right to have healthy food.

‘It’s something all children deserve and it’s so important that we as parents, caregivers and teachers encourage and support these fundamental rights.’

Unicef’s Rights Respecting Schools Award have already raised more than £7 million which helped to provide quality education for children.

The 43-year-old was shown their focus on ‘non-discrimination’ which states that Unicef’s child’s rights apply to every child, ‘whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background’.

Meanwhile, one half of the late 90’s Australian pop duo Madison Avenue blasted Emma’s ‘karaoke’ cover of their hit single Don’t Call Me Baby.

The song was originally released as a single in 1999, topping the UK Singles Chart and reaching number two in the group’s native Australia.

And the Emma performed her own take on it for her fourth studio album My Happy Place, which was released earlier in the year.

Now Andy Van Dorsselaer, who was the duo’s main producer, has claimed that Baby Spice’s version of the song ‘had no edge’.

‘It felt like a karaoke version,’ he told the Herald Sun. ‘It should have had some raunch to it.

‘It’s a female empowerment song about having guts and telling a guy you’ve had enough, which ironically is very now with the #MeToo movement.

‘It was a #MeToo song 20 years ago. For me, that version had no edge.’
