Yummy mummy-to-be Geri Halliwell has been opening her heart about preparing for single motherhood and the moment she found out "the most joyous news anyone can have". In a full-colour photo-report in this week's HELLO! the ex-Spice Girl reveals that her first instinct was to say "Thank you God".
In issue 909, on sale from Tuesday, March 7, the attractive 33-year-old speaks to HELLO! about "the happy accident". In an exclusive interview at the gorgeous LA beachside pad she now calls home, the flame-haired singer also talks about her relationship with her baby's father.
Always one to live life on her own terms, Geri is clear that although the pregnancy wasn't planned her baby won't want for love. "There was not a moment's doubt about whether this child was wanted," she confided. "The joy and the gratitude I felt were instant."
