Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has given as yet her most revealing interview to HELLO! magazine in her first beach photoshoot in seven years.

The 35-year-old mum posed for Hello! magazine during a two-week holiday in Las Alamandas in Mexico.

Geri talks about how she still may be one of the most glamorous women in pop, admits to a self-conscious streak whenever she strips down to her bikini in public and her concerns about her figure.

“My self-esteem is no longer built into having a perfect body although I have the same hang-ups as many other women,” says Geri. “At the moment I’m a bit curvier having done the tour, so it was big mental step forward for me to show my natural self, rather than my worked-out honed self.”

“I definitely have commitment issues,” she adds. “It is lovely to be with somebody and find a connection and by intimate and open. That is wonderful but I have learnt there are also minuses to that. As a single person I have learned to cope by myself and I have my own habits. Allowing someone into my life is a huge adjustment.”

She added: “I love being in love but I can be fickle. One minute I think somebody is the love of my life and the next I don’t. I blow hot and cold.”

This week’s HELLO! (on sale from today) carries the full story and the stunning photos of Geri and Bluebell in a special 15-page report.
