If Geri Halliwell had been hoping to avoid an awkward red carpet encounter with ex-boyfriend Jerry O'Connell at the premiere of Fat Slags, she's in for a nasty surprise.
There were cruel whispers that the long overdue film, in which they both star, was going to go straight to video, but we hear it will be coming to a cinema near you before the end of the year.
The film - which is based on the Viz comic strip and also stars Naomi Campbell - was due for release at Easter.
The delay has been due in part to endless reshoots. Even the ending had to be filmed again to make it more appealing to audiences.
A spokesperson for the film: "We want to get the release date right - but it will be out before the end of the year."
