Spice Girl Geri Halliwell-Horner was one fifth of one of the most successful bands of all time, but admits her teenage daughter isn’t all that impressed.The 51-year-old popstar shared on Wednesday that her teenage daughter Bluebell Madonna, 17, stops short of calling her Ginger Spice days “cool”, and settles for “vintage cool” instead. “She thinks it’s sort of vintage cool.

Vintage ‘90s are back,” she said. “Sometimes when her friends come around I go to her like, ‘But I’m a cool mum! I’m a cool mum!’ It’s classic Mean Girls.” As well as being mum to six-year-old Monty, who she shares with her Formula One boss husband Christian Horner, Geri is also a stepmum to Olivia, 9, from Christian’s previous marriage.

Speaking to America’s Scary Mommy website, Geri, who lives in London, addressed what it’s like to be a stepmum and build a blended family. “It’s respectfully just allowing an organic process to happen, for the relationships to build and respect everybody’s differences,” she said.

While it’s not “perfect”, she added, being married to Christian has helped make the transition easier. "I always say he’s a Jimmy Stewart or a Tom Hanks,” she continued. “He’s not perfect, but he’s nice.” The Look At Me songstress also addressed the “evil stepmother” trope that’s at the heart of many children's stories.
