EMMA Bunton got totally soaked as the Spice Girls performed in torrential rain in Bristol last night.
The 43-year-old star took to her Instagram account to show off the result of the heavy downpour at the Ashton Gate Stadium.
In the photo, Emma’s blonde-pink hair is soaking wet and incredibly tangled, although her make-up is surprisingly intact.
The beauty is wearing her sequin white dress costume and captioned the snap: “#Bristol you were AMAZING !!!! #thankyou #babyspice #drenchedspice”.
Emma’s followers were quick to share their reaction to the post, with Holly Willoughby commenting: “This is AMAZING”.
Spice Girls’ support act Jess Glynne added: “Sexy still.”
A fan wrote: “Killing it, even if drenched.”
A second agreed: “You girls are amazing, performing rain or shine!”
Emma performed on stage alongside her bandmates, Mel C, Geri Horner, and Mel B, during last night’s storm – with some parts of the UK seeing two months’ worth of rain fall in just five hours.
The girls tried their best to combat the weather, donning plastic raincoats and shower caps to try and protect their glamorous outfits.
At one point, 46-year-old Geri even sipped tea out of a Union Jack mug in her bid to stay warm.
Fans praised the girls for giving the show their all in spite of the weather, with one concert-goer telling Bristol Post: “I have never known rain at a concert like it.
“At one point it was hammering down so hard you couldn’t hear the music over the sound of rain bouncing off people’s hoods.”
Taking to Twitter, a fan gushed: “Spice Girls delivered even in the pouring rain. I love you girls so much.”
Another added: “Oh @spicegirls, you made standing in the pouring rain so much fun”.
A third wrote: “ALL THAT RAIN!! The @spicegirls, dancers and band didn’t let it hinder them though! Incredible show in Bristol!”
Meanwhile, Mel B praised the fans for sticking with the rain, sharing a collage of pictures of the concert-goers in their rain macs and writing: “Yipppeee Bristol you showed up in the pouring RAIN.
“I love you.”
