George Michael is hosting a baby shower for former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

The singer and his partner Kenny Goss have planned an elegant tea party - complete with a tasty array of calorific treats - to celebrate their pal's pregnancy.

The pair have also invited Geri's family and friends to the bash at their plush London home.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kenny's making sure there's a beautiful spread of chocolates and cakes, as well as salads and lighter dishes.

"He's going to fill their home with bright, fresh flowers and balloons. He wants everything to be perfect - like a real, traditional American baby shower."

The couple have also asked the rest of the Spice Girls to celebrate with Geri, who got pregnant by her ex, Sacha Gervasi.

The source added: "Emma Bunton and Mel C will be there, but Victoria Beckham had plans she couldn't change in Madrid so she's sent her a beautifully wrapped present instead."

The party shows Michael and Goss have patched up their feud with flame-haired Geri, who is due to give birth next month.

They fell out five years ago after Michael allegedly accused the singer of using him for publicity.
