Geri Halliwell spotted smoking a cigarette as she takes a stroll with daughter Bluebell

Sometimes yoga just doesn't do it. Neither does a plate of mung beans. Which is probably why the once fanatically healthy Geri Halliwell resorted to a stress-busting cigarette instead.

The singer was spotted puffing away as she took daughter Bluebell for a stroll in her buggy, the day after hosting a third-birthday party for her at their home.

And while Mummy relaxed with her cigarette, Bluebell enjoyed her bottle.

It is not the first time Geri has been spotted smoking. Earlier this year she was pictured puffing on a cigar during a day out with her then fiance Fabrizio Poilti.

The former |Ginger Spice threw a party for Bluebell on Saturday, with guests including her Spice Girl bandmates Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm.

Victoria Beckham and Melanie Brown were not able to make it.

Emma, the former Baby Spice, has grown up into the ultimate yummy mummy, arriving at the party in skinny jeans, towering heels, glamorous sunglasses and carrying her 19-month-old son Beau.

Melanie, however, who gave birth to daughter Scarlet only three months ago, had the slightly dazed look of the brand new mum as she arrived in a pair of baggy trousers and ill-fitting pink top. Well, at least she made it out of her pyjamas.

The 35-year-old forner Sporty Spice, the last of the Spice Girls to become a mother, gave birth in February.

Geri, who broke up with her Italian fiancé Fabrizio in March - two months after announcing their engagement - is back in the dating game. And she already has a new chap in her sights.

The man in question is aristocrat Henry Beckwith who she has been dating for the past two months.

Earlier this month the couole were spotted enjoying a steamy embrace during a day out at a wildlife park with Bluebell.
