EMMA BUNTON - EMMA. .I HAVE A RECORD DEAL.

Former SPICE GIRL EMMA BUNTON's second try at solo success is now backed by a record company.

The WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG singer has been back with her former manager SIMON FULLER who bankrolled a new album before the singer was signed up.

Now she's revealed she has a lucrative - but secretive - deal.

She says, "I have got a record contract but I can't talk about it at the moment. It's a very different deal I'm going for and to get what you want takes a little longer but I'm very excited about it."
