Geri Halliwell was enraged to find her baby daughter Bluebell bruised and bawling after leaving her with a temporary nanny. According to onlookers at a luxury British golf club, the former Spice Girl was shocked to return to her shrieking tot after going for a walk with friends. “She screamed at the nanny, `What’s happened? What have you done to my baby?'” says an insider. ouch to Geri’s distress, the nanny kept silent, refusing to offer an explanation for the bruises. The source adds, “Geri was absolutely hysterical. Bluebell is such a happy little child and it broke Geri up to see her in such a state. She could tell that this was not just a baby’s tantrum, so she checked Bluebell and found bruising on her arm. It was the silence from the nanny that so alarmed Geri. If the nanny had explained there had been an accident, she maybe could have understood. Geri has barely let Bluebell out of her sight since the birth. Then she leaves her with someone and all hell breaks loose.”
Geri’s personal assistant issued a statement saying: “Bluebell is now happy and well and there are no further concerns for her welfare.” [4 September 2006]
