Spice Girls beauty Emma Bunton has joked that her six-year-old son, Beau, doesn't know her girlband members' proper nicknames and instead just makes up his own. 

She told BANG Showbiz that while Mel C is typically known as Sporty Spice, Beau has a different moniker that he uses to refer to her although it's along the same lines: "Beau calls us the Spicey Girls because he doesn't quite get it and he thinks there is a Flexible Spice. I don't know who that is supposed to be? I thought possibly Mel C as she is Sporty!"

Bunton also spoke briefly about her son's musical tastes, adding that he enjoys contemporary pop and loves One Direction:

Beau is a big fan of the Spice Girls. He's definitely a big One Direction fan, too. I think he has to be with all the girls in his class constantly singing their songs. He loves Olly Murs and he loves Robbie Williams as well so he generally likes good music."

Earlier this month, Bunton told reporters that a Spice Girls reunion is likely because they are all keen to get back together and it's really just a matter of coordinating their respective schedules.
