Geri Halliwell: 'Motherhood is hard'

Geri Halliwell has revealed that being a single mother can be challenging at times.

The former Spice Girl, who has 4-year-old daughter Bluebell Madonna with ex-partner Sacha Gervasi, admitted that although being a lone parent can be hard, she realises that it is more difficult for many others who don't have help.

She told The Mirror: "Being a single mum is hard - although it depends on what day you ask me.

"Sometimes it has its challenges but I am wary to say that it is too tough because I feel more privileged than most and I have a mother who is incredibly hands-on."

The 38-year-old is currently in a relationship with aristocrat Henry Beckwith and has admitted that she would consider having more children in the future.

Asked whether she will be expanding her family, she replied: "We'll see. I haven't ruled it out. I do love being a mum, although I have to say I feel like I am more in my element now that Bluebell is 4-and-a-half.

"I'm enjoying this stage more than the baby part of it because I can interact with Bluebell. It's great having a daughter."

Halliwell also expressed her happiness for ex-bandmate Victoria Beckham, who is expecting her fourth child.

She said: "Victoria would love a girl. Girls are lovely aren't they? But then I am biased. I am absolutely delighted for Victoria that she is pregnant again. I saw her before for Christmas and I didn't realise she was pregnant. She kept it so well hidden."
