The 35-year-old singer is determined to keep fit for the group’s gruelling schedule and has been consuming a diet packed with the smelly vegetable along with beetroot and carrots.
A source said: “Geri worked so hard to prepare for the tour. The fans mean so much to her and she is scared about letting them down if she were to get ill. She wants to perform to the best of her ability every night.”
During the girls’ last world tour in 1998, Geri sensationally quit the band halfway through and she is keen to make it up to her bandmates and fans. The mother-of-one has also been doing yoga every day to help her maintain good health.
The source added: “She’s very aware that even the slightest hint of a cold could keep her from performing and she has been obsessively saying to people, ‘Don’t let me get ill.’
“She sees this as the Spice Girls’ big chance to restart their careers. She wants to make sure that absolutely nothing goes wrong.”
Geri and the other girls – Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C – are currently on the British leg of the world tour, and on Saturday (15.12.07) began their 17-date residency at the O2 arena.
