What a glorious feeling! Geri Halliwell joins musical cast of Singin' in the Rain for special one-off charity performance

Geri Halliwell made a triumphant return to the stage on Thursday night.
But instead of joining the Spice Girls for another reunion performance, the blonde stepped on to the West End stage to raise money for charity.
The singer joined the cast of musical Singin' in the Rain for a finale number as part of charity fundraising campaign POP Goes the Musical on Thursday evening.

Peek-a-boo! Geri Halliwell made a surprising appearance during Thursday's performance of Singin' in the Rain for BBC Children in Need charity

The campaigns sees celebrities join West End musicals during the curtain call for one night only, with proceedings going to BBC Children in Need.
The It's Raining Men singer was spotted arriving at the Palace Theatre in London ahead of the performance, and having been part of one of the largest pop acts in the world, the star naturally didn't show any signs of nerves.
Dressed against the autumn chill, the 40-year-old donned a white fur coat over a little black dress and looked excited as she entered the stage door.

All for charity: The star joined a range of celebrities who have popped up in other London musicals

The annual musical charity campaign has been going on for a few weeks, and the former Spice Girl joined a line-up of stars who have already made an appearance on the West End.
Alexandra Burke appeared in Les Misérables last month, as Blue sang with the cast of Jersey Boys two weeks ago and Macy Gray will be 'popping up' in Thriller next month.
Former Ginger Spice said: 'I’ve been a big supporter of BBC Children in Need for many years now. It’s always amazing fun to do something different to raise money for children and young people around the UK. This year, I’m itching to make a splash on the Singin’ in the Rain stage.'

I got this: The star didn't show any signs of nerves ahead of her West End stage debut

And the singer was clearly looking forward to the one-off show.
She tweeted a photo of an umbrella to her fans earlier in the week, with the message: 'Rehearsing ahead of Thursday! @BBCCiN @SITR_London'
The star is joining her Spice Girl colleague Mel C, who has forged a career in musical theatre for herself and is currently starring as Maria Magdalene in the revival of Jesus Christ Super Star.
And perhaps the performance will give Geri some inspiration for the upcoming Spice Girls musical, Viva Forever.
Geri is currently also trying to revive her solo career and forge her way back in the charts.

New material: The pop star has recently signed a new seven-figure record deal and will release a new solo album next year

Used to this: The star looked relaxed ahead of the performance, dressed in a white fur coat

The Daily Mirror reported earlier this month the singer has signed a new seven-figure record deal and is looking to release her first solo album in seven years.
'Music is my passion. I’ve been writing for some time now and have still got a couple of tracks to go, so it’s not completely finished yet,' she told the paper.
'Although I’m so passionate about music, about what I do, it’s actually hard to admit that that’s what you’re really wanting to do. It sets you up for a fall, I guess.'
'But I’m going for it and it’s great to hear nice feedback.'
