A Borehamwood man got a spicy surprise which was not on the menu when he visited a town restaurant to celebrate his 21st birthday.

Adam Bell got the chance to meet Spice Girl Emma Bunton when he visited the Toby Carvery Borehamwood, in Studio Way, with his family.

His father spotted Emma B on a nearby table and asked her if she would be willing to pose for photograph to mark his son's special day.

Adam's sister, Angie, said: 'We were having a meal with family and she was up there with a friend ,, she was very pleasant.'

The pop star also signed an autograph for Adam's nine-year-old cousin, Lauren Forde.
