Each house is made up of five dancers all dressed in their correlating house colours – ‘House of Baby’, ‘House of Sporty’, ‘House of Ginger’ and ‘House of Scary’.

The girl band recently altered the lyrics to their 1996 single ‘2 Become 1’ in order to make it more LGBTQI-friendly.

Emma Bunton said that she and the rest of the band made the decision to change a line in the single – which spent three weeks at Number One upon its release – so that it was made more inclusive.
