POP queen Geri Halliwell will spice up next week's big Blackpool Illuminations switch-on.
The former Ginger Spice has been confirmed as the headlining act at the Radio Two spectacular, which is expected to draw more than 15,000 visitors.
The live show, from a temporary stage on car parks opposite Coral Island, will be broadcast live to millions of listeners in a show presented by DJ, Mark Radcliffe.
Other acts confirmed for the Friday night spectacular include chart-topping boy band McFly, Fame Academy star Lemar, former Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes, 80s favourites Swing Out Sister and the cast of Boogie Nights, the Grand theatre summer hit starring Jimmy Osmond and Billy Pearce.
Halliwell follows a host of celebrities in switching on the famous illuminations, which celebrate their 125th anniversary later this month.
