GERI HALLIWELL - GERI HALLIWELL DUBBED A 'TOUR GUIDE' BY LOVER O'CONNELL

Unlucky-in-love singer GERI HALLIWELL has been branded nothing more than a "tour guide" by her most recent lover.

The former SPICE GIRL was seen getting close to American actor JERRY O'CONNELL while he was in London recently, but the SCREAM 2 star has since said he only hung around with her so that he wouldn't get lost in a strange city.

Geri and Jerry, who met while filming FAT SLAGS in the English capital, have now parted company because the KANGAROO JACK actor - whom the LIFT ME UP singer had hinted might be "the one" - has returned home to America.

Jerry says, "I live in LA so it was nice to have a tour guide who knows where they are going in London. Geri and I had a lot of scenes together, so we spent a lot of time together on set and then off set."

A pal of the diminutive pop performer gasps, "She is really serious about Jerry and she hoped he was about her. She really thinks he's the one. Now she's very confused and she fears it's his way of dumping her. She hoped to hook up with him in LA but now she's a bit wary."
