Emma Bunton has revealed that she has no plans to record a new solo album in the near future.

The former Spice Girl, who is currently a judge on ITV show Dancing On Ice, claimed that she is too busy to return to her music career.

Asked whether she wants to make another solo record, she told Metro: "Not at the moment. Beau, my little boy, is my main focus.

"I love singing but promoting an album means you work incredibly hard and right now I need that time to be with my son. I’d love to do it again though."

The 33-year-old claimed that the Spice Girls reunion tour in 2007 was a highlight of her career.

"The last tour stands out the most, being at the O2 and having our children on the stage watching. Just being able to do the whole Spice Girls thing again was really special.

"As a solo artist, a concert in Australia where 10,000 people sang 'What Took You So Long?' was a highlight. It’s a great feeling to know your album is being sold in other countries."

Bunton secured two Top 10 albums with 2001's A Girl Like Me and Free Me in 2004. Her third LP Life In Mono stalled at number 65 in 2006.
