Geri Halliwell Mazda be Joking About Her Poor Life

Today Geri Halliwell puts her hand in the air and say, “My name is Geri and I was bullied”:

“There was a girl at school who threatened to throw me over the railway tracks. I maybe didn’t think of myself as a misfit but I came from a humble background.

“My parents didn’t have much money and my dad would drop me off in this old Mazda car. It was really old and I’d feel a little embarrassed.”

Doubtless this mentally scarring vignette will make it into one of Geri’s books, perhaps her children’s book, the latest of which is being reviewed in the Mirror by one Winona Thompson, aged 9.

“I don’t like it when a character bullies another,” says Winona. “I don’t like bullying – it’s not very nice.”

A million celebrities can only agree…
