Mel C has already appeared in a West End musical but it was the turn of fellow Spice GirlGeri Halliwell last night as she took to the stage for a guest appearance in 'Singin' In the Rain'.

Geri's cameo was all in aid of the BBC's annual 'Pop Goes the Musical' fundraiser which sees famous faces making one-off appearances in London shows to help raise cash for Children In Need.

The former Ginger Spice donned a suit and trilby for the show's big finale where she sang and danced her way through a very wet version of Singin' In The Rain, orginally made famous by Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor in the 1952 movie.

Geri was all smiles as she left the Palace Theatre where she signed autographs at the stage door.
