Ginger Spices pals worried over her bones sticking through

Geri Halliwell might be looking gorgeous these days, but its the singers skinny and paler look thats troubling her friends.

London, August 26 : Geri Halliwell might be looking gorgeous these days, but it's the singer's skinny and paler look that's troubling her friends.

An old friend, who met the Spice Girl after years, has revealed that though Geri looked stunning, her bony frame was clearly shocking.

"You could feel her bones sticking through. She's on the cusp - she looks good now but if she takes it any further, she's going to start to look ill," the Mirror quoted the friend, as saying.

"She's incredibly compulsive. The Spice Girls' reunion is a huge deal for her and she wants to look her very best for her moment back in the limelight. The problem is, Geri is a woman of extremes and she doesn't always know when to stop," she added.

The friend further revealed that Geri's friendly rivalry with band mate Victoria Beckham could be the reason behind her sudden determination to work on her body.

"We mustn't forget that ego plays a major part in all this. Geri loves Victoria, but she also envies her figure and Victoria is looking fabulous at the moment. Geri is always very determined to work on her figure when she knows she's got something to promote and this is her biggest career move in recent years," the friend said.

"That old friendly rivalry with Victoria could well be in full swing again. That's what worries her friends the most," she added.

Meanwhile reports have confirmed that Ginger Spice is dating Russian billionaire Evgeny Lebedev.
