George Michael is friend Geri Halliwell's 'manny'.

The former Spice Girl will only let her mother, the 'Careless Whisper' singer and his partner Kenny Goss look after her daughter Bluebell and is delighted with George's childcare skills.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "George and Kenny are happy to look after Bluebell. They're mannies - the male equivalent of nannies."

Geri, 34, has been reluctant to let anyone else look after Bluebell and her concerns were increased when a temporary nanny allegedly physically abused her three-month-old daughter.

The alleged incident occurred when Geri left baby Bluebell in the care of a temporary member of staff when she went for a walk with friends during a stay at the Liphook Golf Club, in Hampshire, on August 18.

When the 34-year-old star returned, her baby was shrieking and she found bruising on her arms.

Male nannies have become increasingly popular - because new mothers see attractive female child carers as potential love rivals.

Stars who use 'mannies' include pop singer Britney Spears and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. (C) BANG Media International
