The 40-year-old Spice Girls singer has confirmed she will play the voice over to the zebra Muhimu in a one-off episode of the children's animated series, and she has admitted she is "really moved" to land the role because it is her sons Tate, five, and nine-year-old Beau's "favourite show".
Speaking about the upcoming venture the mother of two - who also has nine-year-old son Beau with her husband Jade Jones - said: "As a mum, getting to voice a character in my sons' favourite show, 'The Lion Guard', was really moving, especially as I am always telling the pair of them to work together as a team despite them being so different, just like Kion and his friends."
And the radio presenter - who was also known as Baby Spice in the girl band - has hinted her character holds similar traits to her and her band mates because Muhimu possesses "plenty of girl power".
Emma - who recently who had a recent cameo in the comedy film 'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie' - explained: "My character Muhimu is feisty and strong, she definitely has plenty of girl power! We are all looking forward to sitting down to watch the episode on Disney Junior."
