The blonde singer Emma Bunton was performing with her fellow Spice Girls at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on Tuesday night when she tripped over and sprained her ankle.

 

She said, "I took a tumble on stage and unfortunately I have sprained my ankle, so I'm hobbling around on crutches!".

 

But the new mother reassured fans that she will be fine for the girls' upcoming London performances this weekend and added, "I'm sure to make a speedy recovery, so see you all at The O2 arena!".

 

Emma later used the crutches and was helped by a bodyguard as she appeared alongside Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C and Geri Halliwell to officially christen a Virgin Atlantic plane 'Spice One' in their honor at Los Angeles International Airport.

 

The girls said, "It's fantastic to have a plane named in our honor. We wish everyone who travels onboard Spice One a great flight!".

 

All five girls will be traveling from Los Angeles to Britain aboard 'Spice One', and Virgin Atlantic boss Sir Richard Branson added, "We are proud to be bringing the Spice Girls back in style for their homecoming tour and back in time for Christmas, following their triumphant US shows".
