Geri Halliwell's hard-working bikini almost slips free as she shows off her toned body

Geri Halliwell may be blessed with enviable curves, but they cause the former Spice Girl some problems when it comes to picking the perfect bikini.

Today, as she sunbathed in a pink halterneck two-piece, the 36-year-old almost slipped out of her string bikini top. She also tried on a white bikini - which promptly followed the first in partially sliding off.

Geri, whose weight has fluctuated over the years, was showing off her body as she soaked up the sun alongside boyfriend Henry Beckwith.

The mother-of-one and her aristocratic lover were enjoying the weather on the Italian isle of Sardinia.

Geri spent the day reading One Day by David Nicholls as she lounged on a sun bed next to Beckwith.

With a flower in her hair and carrying a designer handbag she looked relaxed and happy.

Beckwith took the occasional phone call, but otherwise seemed content to soak up the view - admiring his pop star companion.

At one point she leant over his sunbed to embrace him, as he wrapped an arm around her toned thigh.

The couple have not been together long - it was only in early March that Geri and yacht tycoon Fabrizio Politi ended their relationship.

The two met in a nightclub in Italy last December and within weeks had announced their engagement.

In November that she ended her relationship with American dancer Ivan 'Flipz' Velez, who she met on the Spice Girls reunion tour.

Their six-month transatlantic fling, which saw the pair visit each other in Los Angeles and London, was her longest romance since her daughter Bluebell's birth in 2006.

Geri became pregnant after a brief relationship with 42-year-old scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi in Los Angeles and relations between the two are said to be fraught.

Last week Geri was pictured out and about in London with her toddler daughter Bluebell.

The two were all smiles as they enjoyed the sunshine with two-year-old Bluebell, donning a floral dress for the occasion.

Bluebell, who was sporting a flower in her curly hair, took her favourite toy along for the mother-daughter outing.
