The singer, who celebrated her 40th birthday during rehearsals for the show, said it was particularly emotional because it was held on her late father's birthday.

She told Hello! magazine: 'He died six months before the Spice Girls, when I was 21. Doing the Olympics on his birthday was poignant for me.'

Halliwell said her bandmates helped her celebrate her milestone year in the run-up to the big night. 'The girls were very sweet and made me feel special,' she added.

'No matter what's happened in the past, we love and accept each other. I always laugh most when I'm around them.'

The mother of one no longer diets but avoids sugar and alcohol, as 'if I'm going to find the balance of being a mum and having a social life, I just can't put a hangover in there'.

And she admitted she has her eye on a new man, saying: 'I'm not going into details. I quite like having somebody to cuddle. It would be wonderful.'
