Geri Halliwell says her 17-month-old daughter Bluebell Madonna was a "beautiful accident".

The Spice Girl believes motherhood has been a blessing and given her the motivation to be a better person.

Geri said: "So many women today are single parents, I don't feel different. I think you get out of life what you put into it and Bluebell was a beautiful accident. I feel blessed to have her.

"I'm learning every day as a mother. I'm learning that she's like a flower that thrives when it gets sunlight, and the sunlight is confidence, and I feel that when I'm confident it gives her self-esteem. And that gives me motivation to go on and be the best."

Geri, 35, also revealed becoming a parent has made her a more compassionate person.

She told Britain's Guardian newspaper: "At first I was a single, young Bridget Jones kind of woman. I was operating in a selfish world. Now I'm a mother my compassion has expanded."

The singer - who is currently preparing for the Spice Girls' comeback world tour which kicks off on December 2 in Vancouver, Canada - would love another child and is even looking into the possibility of adopting.

Geri said: "I'm open about it and I'm educating myself at the moment."
