Emma Bunton teams up with Specsavers for SWOTY

Former Spice Girl and Heart Radio DJ Emma Bunton has been named by Specsavers as the face of its search for Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2015.

This year the search will see one winner presented with £10,000 in cash and a stay at the Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas. The prize will be delivered later this year at a star-studded event in central London.

Bunton said: ‘I’ve been wearing glasses for years, even before I needed a prescription. I wore them without lenses because I think they’re a great way to accessorise.

‘Glasses should be fun. I love the variety, from dark frames to tortoiseshell and two-tone. I also like being a bit out there and wearing white or vintage glasses. I think the good thing about the range available now is that you can have so much fun with them.’
