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."

Simon Cowell fears he is too old to have children.
The 51-year-old music mogul - who got engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy last February - admits he struggles to relate to very young kids, but would love to have youngsters of his own to play games with.
He said: "I worry about it - because of my age. When I was a youngster, my dad used to play soccer and games with me. And I worry that if I was 70.
"Also, if children could be born at the age of five I'd quite like that. I like them at that age when they can talk and understand. I'm not sure I could deal with the whole 'ga ga goo' thing. But I genuinely like kids."
Simon also admitted Mezhgan, 36, has "softened" him and has finally made him think about settling down forever.
He added on a forthcoming episode of 'Oprah Presents Master Class': "Mish has softened me. She's helped me see the world differently. She has knocked my socks off.
"I'd never been good with relationships and I never thought I'd be with one person - I do now.
"I genuinely believed no one would want to marry me. I am difficult to live with. I'm selfish, quite weird and I need time on my own to think - and then I work all night long. That is difficult for someone to deal with. And it would drive me mad - I could never be my own girlfriend!"

Gary Barlow used to get up early so he could eat more.
The Take That singer - who famously ballooned to over 240lbs after the group split up in 1996 - admits he has learned how to control his eating habits by not always being strict with himself but found it hard to stick to in a sensible way at first.
He explained: "The key to me was portion sizes and I think people forget that, if you can control your portion size you can eat what you want and you've cracked it.
"I have Saturdays off, I was getting a lot of advice and this guy said if you just diet seven days a week, you'll get fed up and fall off the wagon.
"I'd get up early on a Saturday to get started but I would make such a pig of myself and I thought 'I don't want to be this' and after a few weeks the food got less and now it's a part of life, I know when I'm full and I even recognise when I'm full but want to keep eating because I'm a pig!"
The 'Patience' hitmaker also knows he needs to work out regularly to help keep his weight down.
He added: "I must say if I didn't train as much I'd be a different size but I work out every day except Saturdays and Sundays. I'm a cardio man, I do tennis, I do Pilates. I've never done yoga."

Katy Perry keeps fit by skipping.
The 26-year-old singer enjoys five 25-minute workouts every week with personal trainer Harley Pasternak, who says her brief workouts are better for keeping her trim in the long term.
Harley said: "It's an intense workout that lasts 25 minutes. Working out more often for shorter periods is better than three times a week for longer.
"Katy loves jumping rope, so that's what we do for cardio. It's convenient, dance-like and expressive and efficient, time-wise."
Harley has also put Katy on a strict diet, where she eats five small meals a day, though once a week she can indulge in her favourite treats such as pizza and chocolate.
Harley explained: "She eats two meals and three snacks a day, consisting of healthy fats, lean protein, fibre and a non-sugar drink.
"Her favourite meal from recipes I've created is French toast - slices of bread dipped in egg white, skimmed milk and a little sugar, grilled and topped with low-fat ricotta cheese and berries."

Liam Gallagher has revealed a fan once snorted his dandruff after mistaking it for cocaine.
The former Oasis rocker - who has been open about his drug use in the past - says a the unnamed man saw a flake from his scalp after he performed at the Glastonbury music festival and, thinking it was the class-A drug, put it up his nose.
He said: "I've got bad skin. I've got psoriasis all over my f***ing body. Everywhere except for me face. And every now and again on me head.
"At Glastonbury, everyone's backstage and this geezer comes up to me, going 'I ain't seen Oasis for f***ing years, f***ing great' and I'm going 'Yeah, alright.'
"And he goes to his mate, 'Look Steve, he's even got cocaine in his hair.' And he pulls a bit of s**t out me hair."
Liam then revealed how the man started to snort it.
Liam - who has now formed his own band, Beady Eye, following the break-up of Oasis in 2009 - also revealed how he wished his former bandmate and brother Noel well in his solo career.
He told Q magazine: "I hope our kid's buzzin'. I hope he's gonna make great records. And he probably will."
Noel quit Oasis after a string of bust-ups with Liam.
