Emma Bunton saddened by Swayze death
Saturday, 26 September 2009
Emma Bunton was left devastated by the death of Patrick Swayze.
The former Spice Girl was a huge fan of the actor's films 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Ghost' and thinks it is tragic he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer aged just 57.
She told Britain's Now magazine: "I was so sad when I heard that Patrick had died - what a loss. He was wonderful and a real all-rounder - a singer, a dancer and an actor. No one had a bad word to say about him. I love all his films, but especially 'Ghost' and 'Dirty Dancing', which I've watched millions of times."
Emma revealed she and her long-term partner Jade Jones have even re-enacted the famous dance scene in 'Dirty Dancing' where Patrick's character Johnny Castle lifts Frances 'Baby' Houseman - who was played by Jennifer Grey.
She explained: "Jade and I went away with friends recently and we all attempted to re-enact the famous lift. Needless to say we won!"
Patrick was cremated last week and his ashes are being held at his lawyer's office.
It is understood the remains will stay at the office until his wife Lisa Niemi arranges for them to be moved. His remains are expected to be scattered at their New Mexico ranch.
