It was the TRIC Awards in London, or the long name for them is the Television and Radio Industry’s Club Awards. Many stars from the small screen attended the event. Well, there can’t be the opening of an envelope without Sinitta there – and for once, she didn’t have Simon Cowell dangling off her arm. Maybe that is because she looks set to start searching for new talent with her own company – rather than help out Simon, which is what she normally does. She has been a guest on X factor many times over the years. However, we do hear that Simon is pleased that she is setting up on her own. Simon’s spokesman said: “Simon has always said what a good eye and ear Sinitta has for talent and I know he would wish her all the luck in the world. He has said to me, and I know he believes it, that competition keeps everyone on their toes.” Sinitta was a big star in the 80s and is even a famous ex of Simon’s. A spokesman for her said: “She is looking to discover the next big thing.” Well, the gloves are off! Many other stars were also at the awards including ex Spice girl turned TV personality Emma Bunton. Fans who loved the Spice Girls from back in the day got quite excited at rumours of another reunion for the girl band, but Mel C this week has confirmed that it is not happening. She said: “Yep, not true. It was an honour to be asked, but not everyone is comfortable about doing it so we have to respect each other’s feelings about that.” And it’s anyone’s guess who the Spice Girl was who was uncomfortable, but we don’t think it is Emma – probably more Victoria!
