Nineties nostalgia: Spice Girl Emma Bunton helps Gary Barlow and his Take That bandmates switch on the Regent Street Christmas lights


They were both in two of the biggest pop bands of the Nineties.
And Spice Girls singer Emma Bunton and Gary Barlow enjoyed a catch up as his group Take That turned on the Christmas lights in London's Regent Street on Sunday.
Following Jason Orange's shock departure from the band earlier this year, Take That have become a trio with just Gary, Howard Donald and Mark Owen but Emma Bunton and her Heart FM co-host Jamie Theakston were on hand to bolster the group at the festive event.

Gary was grateful for the throngs of fans who had gathered to see him as he tweeted:
'Thank you to our lovely fans for supporting us tonight ! #RegentStreetLights'.It was Take That who got the privilege of turning on the Christmas Lights, with the event themed round A Night At The Museum 2: Secret of the Tomb , and was hosted by Heart FM.

Emma had wrapped up warmly for the occasion, in a mottled black and white coat and black stetson hat.
The 38-year-old mother of two took to Twitter to thank her fans for visiting the light turn on, and inform them where she purchased her apparel:
‘Thanks for all your lovely message about tonight #RegentStreetLights I was wearing @REISS coat and hat!!’

Although it seemed newly married Jessie Ware was admiring a little more than the lights, as she captioned a shot of the group together on Instagram:
'Yep that's me behind Howard and Gary, next to the dishy Mark Wright. Turning on the Regents Street lights. Thanks for having me!!! X'.
Boyband Union J were on hand to perform at the event, posting two Instagram videos of the band warming up.

Band member JJ tweeted in anticipation of their performance:
'Excited to Perform our brand new single "You got it all" at the Regents street Xmas Light Switch on tonight!! Who's going? #YouGotItAll'.
JJ said at the event: 'It was a massive thrill for us to perform in front of thousands of our fans on Regent Street. Being part of one of the world’s biggest Christmas lights events has got all the boys in the festive spirit. Now it’s time to get on with the shopping!'
