Emma Bunton has got engaged

The former Spice Girls singer - who is pregnant with her second child - announced she is to wed her partner of 11 years, Jade Jones, after he proposed over the weekend.

Speaking tonight (23.01.11) on UK TV show 'Dancing On Ice' - which she is a judge on - a radiant Emma said: "Yes I'm engaged. We've got a second baby on the way and we're getting married so it's all very exciting!"

She then proudly showed off her engagement ring to the camera.

Emma - who has a three-year-old son, Beau, with Jade - had previously said she didn't want to marry Jade as she was happy with how their relationship was.

She said: "I'm not keen for him to propose. The thing with me and Jade is it's been so brilliant and we are happy as we are. Of course, we have talked about marriage, but we like it the way it is. We have a child together, which is the most wonderful thing anyway.

"It's such a special thing for us to have a son. We're soulmates."
