Geri Halliwell is desperate to have another baby.

The Spice Girl - who recently celebrated her 35th birthday in St. Tropez, France - is aware her biological clock is ticking and longs for a little brother or sister for her 15-month-old daughter Bluebell.

A friend of Geri's told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "She had a great time on her birthday with her inner circle in the South of France.

"But she spent a lot of time talking about the race for a second child."

The single mother - who split from Bluebell's screen writer father Sacha Gervasi while she was pregnant - is worried she will have to resort to artificial means if she doesn't meet the right man soon.

The source added: "She's scared that if she waits for Mr. Right it will be too risky to have another baby."

Geri is not the only Spice Girl planning to expand their family, Victoria Beckham, 33, is also desperate to add a daughter to her brood of three sons with soccer star husband David.

The friend said: "Geri said that age isn't just something that bothers her, Victoria is also worrying about time going by and wanting to add to her family."

Geri - who has reunited with her former bandmates Victoria, Emma Bunton, Mel C, and Mel B for a Spice Girls 15-date world tour which kicks off in Canada in December - is also worried about looking older than the other girls in the band.

The friend added: "The girls are all concerned about their looks, especially now they're older. But, as Geri is the oldest, she's feeling it more than others.

"It's really brought home her age to her. She's just four years older than Emma, who just had her first child, and two years older than Victoria, the Spice Girl she's closest too."
