Emma Bunton will be going downtown this year in her effort to support the charity Children in Need.
The former Spice Girl is to release a version of Petula Clark's classic sixties hit Downtown for the charity's official single.
It's not the first time that she has sung for a good cause, as the Spice Girls released the double A-side Mama/Who Do You Think You Are for Comic Relief back in 1997.
Bunton is currently starring in Strictly Come Dancing and it is hoped that her new celebrity friends, including EastEnders' Louisa Lytton and former Emmerdale bad girl Claire King, will take part in the video.
"I've always loved Downtown as a song and I'm really looking forward to putting my own stamp on it," Bunton said.
"The track's good fun and one everyone will know. The video should be a good laugh - I've asked all the Strictly guys to come along, if they have time, and show off all the hard work we've been doing - and hopefully there will be a few other surprises in store, too!"
Bunton will perform the single on the charity's fundraising night, Friday November 17th, and it will be available to buy or download from Monday November 13th.
