(Cover) - EN Star Style - Geri Halliwell always carries something to cover her stomach when shes on the beach.

The 38-year-old is famed for working hard on her physique, adhering to methods such as yoga and Pilates to achieve a toned frame, but insists she doesnt always feel body confident at the seaside.

The star has a trick up her sleeve though, and says ladies should always be prepared for the moments when they feel slightly self conscious.

The star has advised women to take something to cover their stomachs with, to hide post-lunch bloating.

You know when you have lunch and youve stuffed your face because youre on holiday and you think, Oh my God, I feel a bit bloated? she said in an interview with Glamour magazine. Well I pack really nice stuff that I can chuck over a bikini, but that will also work off the beach. Youre getting double value so you can pack light.

Geri knows a fair amount about beachwear as earlier this year the former Spice Girl unveiled her new swimwear line, Geri by Next swimwear, in collaboration with the British high street retailer. (C) Cover Media
