Sabrina Carpenter “arrested” Spice Girls’ Emma Bunton at a recent live show in London. Check out footage of the moment below.
The moment took place during Carpenter’s recent live show at The O2 in London as part of her ‘Short N’ Sweet’ tour dates. Midway through the show, during ‘Don’t Touch That Dial!’ segment, Carpenter chooses a member of the audience to jokingly “arrest” with fluffy pink handcuffs.
For the London date, it was Spice Girls’ Emma Bunton who was chosen, and called-up to the stage to be handed the cuffs from the ‘Please Please Please’ singer.
“You’re kind of spicing up my life a little bit… My clothes are falling off,” Carpenter said to the audience as the pop icon was seen looking shocked on the monitors. “Emma would you please do me the honours of being mine forever. They match your top!”

As well as footage from fans who were at the show – which you can see above – a snippet of the moment has also been shared by Bunton herself.
In the montage clip shared to Instagram, she is seen gasping as Carpenter calls her out while on-stage, alongside a number of clips of the pop star performing during the show.
“Please, please, please Arrest me for being a fan!!! @sabrinacarpenter you were amazing,” Bunton wrote in the caption.
The show came as part of the ongoing European and UK leg of Sabrina Carpenter’s huge world tour, celebrating the release of her summer hit album ‘Short N’ Sweet’. She has already completed the US leg of the tour, which saw her also “arrest” Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown in Georgia.
Brown would later go on to celebrate the moment online, and admit it was her idea to be called out by the ‘Espresso’ hitmaker.
The singer’s tour is set to continue across the UK and Europe over the spring, and includes two nights at the BST Hyde Park summer series in London. Visit here for remaining tickets.
The shows also come after Carpenter made a star-studded appearance at the BRITs 2025 – opening the ceremony with a medley of songs and dividing fans at home.
