Emma Bunton has scrapped plans to move to Los Angeles, and now wants to open a restaurant in London with her partner Jade Jones, a trainee chef. The former Baby Spice says she has given up her plans to try to forge a TV presenting career in the States and would be happy to help run a small family business.

Baby food: Jade and Emma plan to open a restaurant

Former Damage star Jade has been training as a chef since quitting his music career. He has worked with the likes of Gordon Ramsay since impressing the fiery chef with his culinary skills on Ramsay's show The F Word. Jade also recently finished a stint at the Connaught restaurant in Mayfair.

He told us: "Yes, I want to open a restaurant with Emma. We're not sure when or where yet, but it's something we're seriously looking into."

Emma, 32, won't be the first Spice Girl to go into catering - Victoria Beckham recently told the Lite she was setting up a restaurant with Gordon Ramsay in LA.

But Emma won't have much say in the kitchen. Jade, 28, added: "I won't let Emma in the kitchen any more. I've heard Gordon Ramsay has two kitchens in his house, so we might do the same. One for me and one for her.

"Every time she picks up a knife I get terrified."
