The Nanny Did It

Geri Halliwell is testifying against her former abusive nanny in court this week.

"While away for a countryside weekend, she awoke to Bluebell's "hysterical" and "angry" cries and ran into the nursery only to be blocked from entry by the German-born nurse.

"[Bluebell] was quite hysterical, crying, really angry crying." she recalled of her then-two-month-old."

[Schmidt] put her hands across the doorway almost blocking me going in. She was quite big and I stopped. Then she said, 'Leave it, I will swaddle her'," Geri quoted Schmidt as saying. "I felt she was trying to take care of me because I would get a good night's sleep so I said OK and left it there."

When asked if she had heard her daughter cry like that before, the performer, who has described feeling "tortured" by the abuse, continued: "Just in the last few days I heard that... It was really... just hyperventilating crying."

The next morning, while nursing Bluebell, Geri noticed the red marks on her daughter's head and cheek and a bruise on her arms.

She describes confronting the 31-year-old Schmidt, who looked "vacant" and explained that Bluebell had been tossing and turning in the night and said she'd need a meningitis test. "

Crazy...
