Geri Halliwell “Blue floral Bikini” in Bermuda

She's never publicly acknowledged the identity of her daughter's father, but Geri Halliwell was more than happy for close friend Louis Buckworth to play dad to Bluebell during a recent holiday to Bermuda.

The trio looked very close and content as they played on the sand and in the sea together.

Nightclub entrepreneur Buckworth, 28, appeared to have a relaxed relationship with Bluebell as he scooped her up in his arms, the six-year-old giggling in delight.

Geri showed off her fantastic figure in a pretty white bikini with a blue floral design and frilly bottoms.

Geri, who recently had a stint as a judge on the X Factor, was pictured grinning happily as she chatted with Louis.

The pair, who have known each other for ten years, are widely reported to be an item, however sources close to Halliewell insist they are just 'good friends'.

Just friends? The pair were first pictured looking close seven months ago, but Geri's camp insist they're just good friends

Geri and Louis were first spotted together at a church service back in December.

Buckworth, a former lawyer, runs the Firehouse bar and restaurant in South Kensington.

Geri has known the society gentleman for some time, even attending his wedding to childhood sweetheart Chloe Delevigne in 2007.
