Emma Bunton was every inch the proud mother as she posted a sweet tribute to her rarely-seen son Beau to celebrate his 17th birthday on Saturday.

The Spice Girl, 48, took to her main grid to share a slew of snaps of the youngster, gushing that she is ‘so proud’ of him.

A third snap showed Beau looking more casual as he sported a cap backwards and tucked into some seafood.
