Jennifer has of course also written the script for the Spice Girls musical which launched at the end of last year. Speaking at the time about the challenge she admitted she found the writing hard: Jennifer admits she found the writing hard: ‘It was much more complicated than I imagined.
‘The emotions the characters feel have to carry on right through to the end, so they all have a result. I’m used to writing only a couple of main characters.’
