Geri Halliwell expecting a baby?

Geri Halliwell is expecting a baby, according to a report in the News of the World today.

The former Spice Girl has been secretly dating British scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi, however the relationship could already be over after the pair were spotted having a heated argument at a cafe last week.

Despite this, Halliwell is said to be overjoyed at the news, and has told friends that she will give birth in the spring.

A source revealed, "Geri is thrilled to be pregnant. Although this is totally unexpected she can't wait to be a mum. It's the best thing that could happen to her. She has had her problems in the past, battling bulimia, but now she is grown up and ready to be a mother.

"Not surprisingly, she's very upset her relationship with Sacha hasn't exactly gone to plan. But if she is alone when the baby arrives, then so be it. She's a strong woman and will cope just fine."
