Emma Bunton lost her baby weight by eating chocolate.

The Spice Girl - who gave birth to son Beau, her first child with fiancé Jade Jones, last August - shed the excess pounds she gained while pregnant by sticking to a diet that allowed her too indulge in her favourite sweet treat.

She said: "It takes a while to lose the baby weight, but I didn't feel I had to starve myself.

"I breastfed for about four months, which helped, but mostly I just did everything in moderation.

"I wanted to do everything naturally without going on a strict diet. I made sure I got the right nutrients, just in smaller portions.

But, for me, a diet without chocolate was never going to work. There are some things you can't deny yourself. As much chocolate as possible, please!" Emma, 32, also admits the gruelling dance routines on the Spice Girls reunion world tour helped her get back into shape.

The blonde star, who along with her four bandmates rehearsed for months before the run of shows kicked off last December, thinks dancing is great way to fit, especially if you hate the gym like she does.

Emma - who appeared on British TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing' before falling pregnant - added to Britain's Fabulous magazine: "I did go to the gym, but three times a week instead of seven - being stuck on a running machine for hours on end is so dull. But obviously, going straight on tour hurried things along a bit! I always say dancing is the very best way to lose weight."

Horrors unveil new producer

Southend's Horrors have exclusively spoken to Xfm about the unusual production choice for their second album, the follow-up to 2006's grimly fiendish, 'Strange House'.

Frontman Faris Rotter revealed that after the debut experience the boys have hired Chris Cunningham (Aphex Twin and Bjork) to twiddle the knobs.

Rotter confirmed that The Horrors new album was the directors first stab at producing:

"He hasn't done music production before but I think it'll be really special. The results so far are really encouraging.

"The ideas that he has are really cinematic and there aren't really that many contemporary producers who have that kind of vision of their own and put that kind of stamp on something and I think he could be one of those."

Cunningham's production inexperience could be a bonus Rotter continued:

"But that's what so brilliant about it - he won't approach things in the way that so many people will. He's really into the music we like: y'know - My Bloody Valentine, Dead Can Dance and Squarepusher and I think he's gonna bring something to the new album that no one else will."
