Geri Halliwell accuses nanny of abusing baby Bluebell

Geri Halliwell has accused a nanny of physically abusing Geri’s three and a half month old daughter Bluebell.

The nanny, believed to be temporarily hired from an agency while Geri looks for a permanent carer, was looking after the tot while Geri went for a walk with two friends.

When the party returned home, they found Bluebell crying furiously.

An inside source revealed: “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.”

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed they have received a report about the incident on 18 August and “officers from our Child Abuse Investigations Unit are investigating and inquiries are continuing. There have been no arrests.”

Geri’s personal assistant Antony Read added: “Bluebell is now happy and well, and there are no further concerns for her welfare.”

“The matter is now under investigation by the police and therefore we are unable to make any further comment.”
