Geri Halliwell has vowed to stay in the UK so her daughter can develop an English accent.

The former Spice Girl will not be following in the footsteps of bandmates Melanie Brown and Victoria Beckham by raising two-year-old Bluebell Madonna in Los Angeles.

She said: "I want my daughter to have an English accent because it's really elegant [and] also my friends and family are nearby.

"I have got some friends in Los Angeles but they are more dependable here."

Halliwell, 36, was recently named the top-selling children's author of 2008.
