Emma Bunton has praised Dannii Minogue's turn on 'Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model', saying the star brings "va-voom" to the panel.

The popular reality show returned to Sky Living last night (June 20) featuring a new-look judging panel of Elle Macpherson, Tyson Beckford and Minogue.

Spice Girls star Bunton took to Twitter after the show to gush about Minogue on the series: "Loving @DanniiMinogue on B&INTM bringing some va-voom to the panel!! Gorgeous! (sic)."

Supermodel Macpherson has previously revealed Minogue is a welcome addition to the expert panel.

She explained: "Dannii brings a lot. She is charming, she is charismatic and she is popular. She works in design and she has experience of being photographed. So she has got a pretty clear and well rounded perspective and I really like that with her. And she is charming."
