Emma was later spotted leaving the house, looking in cheery mood in a bright blue coat and black trousers.

Scary Spice Mel B arrived holding her trademark leopard print bag after jetting in from Los Angeles for the meeting with bandmates Posh, 43, Baby Emma Bunton, 42, Sporty Mel C, 44, and Ginger Geri Horner, 45.
A group of staff were spotted bringing in lunch for the girls during the meeting.
It is the the first time the five have been together in the same room since 2012.
The five will get £10million each for new projects — with Posh believed to have sought assurances she will not have to sing.

Pop Idol mastermind Simon Fuller, 57, is behind the venture — and is believed to have promised reluctant Victoria her vocals will not be needed.
A source close to the band said: “This is the pop reunion no one thought would ever happen again.
“But after a long period of negotiation Victoria agreed the time is right to work on new projects this year.
“It’s very exciting because she has always been adamant she wouldn’t go back.”
They are considering TV projects in China, a new telly talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits.
Our insider added: “Victoria and Geri agreed it would be impossible to be part of a fully-fledged tour because of family and business commitments.
“Now that she’s a top designer Victoria is concerned about singing but she wants to make money to pump back into her business.”

It was the last time they were seen together — although Geri has stayed close to the rest.
She said last October: “I really pushed to get everyone back together.
It got to the point where I had to let it go. I still love the girls and there are other bits and bobs in the pipeline.”
