Emma Bunton is taking time out from Strictly Come Dancing to record a charity single for Children In Need.

Baby Spice is set to cover Petula Clark’s 60s hit, Downtown.

She said: “I am honoured and delighted to be asked to do this on behalf of Children in Need.

“I’ve always loved Downtown as a song and I’m really looking forward to putting my own stamp on it.”

She added: “The video should be a good laugh. I’ve asked all the Strictly guys to come along if they have time and show off all the hard work we’ve been doing and hopefully there will be a few other surprises in store too.”
