Children Champion 03.08 Emma Bunton ptEmma BuntonEmma Bunton has always had the cute factor nailed.

No surprises then that she's set to hit the small screen.

But before you get too excited - the move is only temporary.

Emma is set to step in as Richard Madeley's sidekick on Richard & Judy today, while Judy Finnegan recovers from knee surgery.

Emma, last seen on the Spice Girls reunion tour, will join Richard on the sofa of the Channel 4 show from today until early next week, a spokesperson for the show said.

Commenting on her surprise cameo, Emma said:

"As a fan of the show, it was an honour to be asked to step into Judy's shoes for a few days, co-present the show and keep Richard in line.

"I would also like to wish Judy a speedy recovery."

We can't wait to see how things work out for Em as a presenter.

Maybe this could be the beginning of something permanent?

TV hosting is one area none of the other former Spicers have really flexed their muscles in yet, so it will be interesting to watch how it all goes down.
