Uninteresting Child-Abuse Story Starring Ginger Spice

Geri Halliwell's three-month-old daughter is focus of a police investigation into allegations of abuse after being found covered with bruises.

The former Spice Girl called the police after leaving her baby with a temporary nanny while she went for a walk with friends.

When she returned, she was horrified to find her daughter, Bluebell, screaming in apparent distress and with bruising on her arm.

Furious, she then shouted at the nanny: 'What's happened? What have you done to my baby?' and was alarmed when the nanny refused to answer. The incident happened while Halliwell, 34, was staying with two friends at a luxury cottage in the grounds of Liphook Golf Club, in Hampshire, last month.

Halliwell gave birth to Bluebell in May but no longer has anything to do with the baby's father, Sacha Gervasi, a 40-year-old British born screenwriter who lives in Hollywood.

The couple were introduced by Robbie Williams and soon embarked on a six-week affair during which Halliwell conceived.
