Geri Halliwell's neverending holiday... Former Spice Girl frolics in a bikini with her beau Henry Beckwith (again)

With millions in the bank and little else to worry about, Geri Halliwell obviously has a lot of spare time on her hands.

So it's hardly a surprise that she has spent the majority of the last month or so sunning herself in various exotic locations.

The former Spice Girl is currently spending time topping up her tan in Porto Cervo, Sardinia with her boyfriend Henry Beckwith.

Showing off her toned figure in a skimpy turquoise two-piece bikini Geri, who turns 39 next month, appeared relaxed and besotted with her man.

She soaked up the rays in the holiday resort and frolicked with her lover, the cousin of former IT girl Tamara Beckwith.

The couple played with a camera, no doubt taking plenty of holiday snaps for the album.

At one point Geri beamed as Henry pressed his head lovingly against her hip, taking a picture of him as he did so.

Later, ever the attentive boyfriend, he adjusted her bikini bottoms for her and then jokingly plopped his hands on her breasts as she sunbathed.

Last month Geri spent some time with her lover and her daughter, Bluebell, in the south of France where they holidayed aboard a luxury yacht.

But during the last few weeks they have been in Sardinia. And it hasn't all be totally relaxed - Geri has indulged in some exhilarating watersports, including waterskiing while she's been away.

The couple started dating in March 2009, just days after Geri ended her brief engagement to Italian yacht tycoon Fabrizio Politi.

Recalling the first time they met on a beach, she told the Mail On Sunday's You magazine earlier this year: 'He was bright red, but that’s because of his skin tone.

'He’s going to kill me for saying that! He didn’t actually chat me up, he sent his mate to try and do it. It was quite funny.'

Geri credits Henry's 'Alpha male' personality with why their relationship has been her longest one ever.

She explained: 'It takes a hell of a strong man to be with someone like me. I think he has a strong enough sense of self, but what I love about him is that he loves me for me.

'He’s strong and very kind. He won’t let me push him around. He’s the first alpha male I’ve gone out with and that’s why it’s working. He makes it a little bit challenging sometimes, but I love it that he’s a strong man.

'I have a lot in common with Henry: we’re both fun, active, sporty. I’m very playful, I’m like a tomboy in certain ways. But for me the most important thing is integrity, loyalty and spirit, the kindness of the person.'

Earlier this month it was announced that Geri will be following in the footsteps of her former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham and designing a range of evening gowns.

She will be creating a range of dresses for high street store Next, for whom she has already designed a line of swimwear.

She told the Sunday Mirror: 'I've been sketching everything myself. I'm thrilled with the results. The dresses are not stupidly expensive but they are elegant and beautiful.'
