“We are delighted to announce the engagement of Geri Halliwell and Fabrizio Politi,” said a spokesperson for the couple.

“As a token of their commitment to each other Fabrizio presented Geri with an engagement ring over the festive season. There are no immediate plans for marriage as the couple are enjoying their engagement.”

The ring is reckoned to be worth £223,000 and, while cynics might drag out the old money-grabber gags such as “What attracted Geri to the multi-millionaire yacht builder?”, the Spice Girl, 36, is said to have been impressed with the way Politi, 34, has taken to her two-year-old daughter, Bluebell.

“Geri is desperate for another brother or sister for her daughter and to have a man in her life who can be a father to them,” a pal of the couple told The Mirror. “It feels right and they are both very happy.”
