Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is rumoured to be representing the UK at Eurovision this year.

The singer made a rather unsuccessful comeback in Australia earlier this year with her single “Half of Me” selling less than 400 copies but it seems that Eurovision chiefs believe she could be perfect for the contest.

"Geri seems a perfect fit for Eurovision. She's up for a laugh and not afraid to camp things up" said a source.

"If she wins, she would be hailed as a legend, but if she doesn't score highly it could be another embarrassing moment."

The BBC have not confirmed the rumours as yet with a spokesperson saying: "The BBC is passionate about our involvement in the Eurovision Song Contest and we are collaborating with creative experts across the UK music industry to select this year's entry."
