Emma BuntonEmma BuntonSorry lads, it seems that Emma Bunton is ditching her Baby Spice image for good.

She's purging her wardrobe of all her trademark mini-skirts.

"I'm getting too old to wear all those little outfits," the former Spice Girl told The Sun.

"They're too short and I don't feel comfortable in them any more."

The reason? Like most of us mere mortals, she's worried about the old orange peel effect:

"I hate those magazines where you see a picture of someone getting out of a car and they've circled the cellulite.

"I'd be mortified if they showed me like that. So I'm sticking to jeans from now on. Baby Spice is over."

She's still loved up with boyfriend Jade Jones, former singer with the group Damage.

She said: "He makes me so happy. We laugh all the time and he's gorgeous."

It's good to see that there are some celebs out there who know how to mature gracefully.

But we're certain that menfolk throughout the land will be gutted...
