Halliwell turns bratty for books

Pop star Geri Halliwell loved writing for her new series of children's books - because the "therapeutic" experience allowed her to express her inner "brat".

The mother-of-one, 35, admits she was transformed into another world when she was penning the kids' fiction, allowing her to tap into the realm of her feisty eight-year-old alter ego, Ugenia Lavender.
