Previously part of the phenomena that was the Spice Girls, pop star Geri Halliwell will be a judge on the forthcoming series of ‘Popstars 2 – The Rivals’. It has also been reported that Geri’s ex, Chris Evans will also be a judge. The pair will be on rival teams picking two new bands to battle it out for a Christmas No 1.

Rumoured to be earning GBP150,000 each from the show, Chris and Geri may get their wages doubled, what with endorsements from the show and all.

An insider told the News of the World “It’ll make great TV because they’re sure to have it out with each other on screen. Geri has never forgiven Chris for dumping her.”

‘Popstars 2- The Rivals’ will start in September and the two teams of judges, including Pop Idol’s Pete Waterman, will each pick their top band.
