Not long after rocking the stage at the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremonies with her "Spice Girls" band mates, Emma Bunton found herself gracing the October 2012 issue of http://www.easyliving.co.uk/magazine/october-2012" style="color: #FF5AAD; text-decoration: none;"> Easy Living!
On her diet:
"I avoid carbs in the evening mid-week - but not at the weekend - and I try to exercise with the kids, by walking and going for bike rides. I'm not too strict about anything. Life's too short! I love having friends round, enjoying a glass of wine or sharing pizza. I really love food."
On her partner, Jade, of 15 years:
"We are great friends who still fancy eachother, who take the mickey out of eachother and who talk about everything - we never let anything fester. It's easy to be complacent, especially when you have children, but Jade always says he finds me attractive, and he tells me he loves me every day."
On working with Victoria Beckham:
"You know, I love Victoria and she's brilliant fun, I love her to bits. She is one of the funniest women I know. She makes me howl with laughter. And she's got a great pout. If I could pout like that, I would!"

On her 'loud' personality: “I am quite loud and bolshie,” she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.” Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one’s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”
On giving up drinking last May: “Don’t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D’yaknowhaImean?”
On her vocal troubles: “I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.” She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks’ rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. “That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend’s wedding on October 1.”
On getting support through her surgery from other artists: “John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey’s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don’t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.”
On her six Grammy nominations: “I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.” [gallery=821]
