Update: As of today, the nanny involved who was employed by a golf course in Hampshire, England that Geri was visiting has been arrested for the incident.

Halliwell had left Bluebell in her care while she went for a walk on the grounds and came back to find the tot bawling with bruises on her arms. When the nanny refused to explain the marks, the police were contacted.

A police statement regarding the incident was released yesterday and confirms, "A 30-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm in connection with an assault on a child. She was taken to a central London police station and bailed for return this month."

A source close to Halliwell said, "It is a huge relief to Geri that the nanny faces the British justice system."
