Ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, 32, is set to learn how to sing, perhaps even better than before, in order to fuel her planned music career comeback.

The multi-talented celebrity has returned to simple vocal exercises in order to strengthen her singing voice in the aftermath of a throat operation. Cigarettes have also gone out of the window for Geri.

Geri Halliwell, soon to be known simply as 'Geri', explains: "I quit smoking and had nodules in my throat removed. You'll hear the difference to my voice on the new album.

"I've had to go back to singing lessons and doing all these vocal exercises. It's very embarrassing."
