EMMA BUNTON
Joins Ruby Wax for Absolutely Fabulous special Spice
Girl Emma Bunton and comedienne Ruby Wax will join Jennifer Saunders and Dame Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out, due to air on Gold in October.
The programme will look back on the popular sitcom’s much-loved characters: PR boss Edina “Eddie” Monsoon, her champagne-loving friend Patsy Stone, her conventional daughter Saffron and Edina’s assistant Bubble.
Jennifer, 66, said: “I loved making Ab Fab but I can’t remember a great deal, so much of this retrospective is a revelation to me. Thank you, Gold, for this kind and helpful programme.”
Dame Joanna, 78, added: “It was a fabulous wander down memory lane by actresses who only had the faintest grip on reality.”
