Emma Bunton has ruled out touring with the Spice Girls in the near future.

The Dancing On Ice judge explained that she doesn't want to be away from her 2-year-old son Beau while he is still young.

"I love making music, but you have to tour and you have to work very, very hard," she told Stylist.

"Having my little boy now, I can't imagine going off on tour for months on end. I feel lucky that I'm able to dip my toe into all different things."

Bunton added that she is surprised she coped with the first Spice Girls reunion as the concerts took place three months after she gave birth.

"Looking back, I'm not quite sure [how I coped]," she said. "Having Beau and [my partner] Jade [Jones] with me was very important. Also, being with the other girls made it a lot easier - we had all our children there and helped each other out. There's nothing like being on a stage with the other girls."

Bunton recently revealed that she is hoping to have more children soon.
