Geri Halliwell outshines Tulisa as X Factor kicks off another year
GERI Halliwell certainly wasn't prepared to share the spotlight as she kicked off the start of yet another X Factor season today.
She outshone permanent X Factor judge Tulisa as she arrived for the first round of auditions in Liverpool.
Wearing a blue lace dress, similar to one worn by Amanda Holden as she launched the Britain's Got Talent auditions, Halliwell climbed on top of her car and shouted out from a gramophone.
