Oh dear, Geri Halliwell isn't having a great build-up to Christmas.
While out on the town with her new Scottish 'mate' Darius Danesh and her manager Richard Thompson, they decided to pop into the La Dolce Vita Christmas ball.
But according to the Sun and the Mirror, her unexpected arrival threw the organisers into a tizz, especially since the glamour puss wouldn't let the snappers snap her.
"And it got worse. Geri and her aides had got it into their heads that she was expected to make a speech in front of the VIP crowd and then introduce superstar Sting's performance.
"In fact she even hastily scribbled her speech on the back of a menu, but sadly her services were not required," the Mirror gloats.
And to top off her humiliating time, she was stuck on a table near the kitchen while the likes of Sadie Frost, Charlotte Church, Elle Macpherson, Sophie Anderton, Penny Lancaster and Jemima Khan got frontrow seats.
Meow.
"She was there as my guest. The UNFPA, which is the branch of the UN Geri works for, wanted her to give a speech but the request didn't reach my office until the very last minute. So it was all a bit confusing," droned her manager.
"And as for the photos, I simply asked the snappers to wait until later in the evening. She wasn't there in her official capacity."
Oh well, she still managed to bag all the publicity.
