Where Benedict Cumberbatch goes, Geri Halliwell follows

Where Benedict Cumberbatch goes, Geri Halliwell follows

Geri Halliwell, former member of the Spice Girls, has announced her engagement in the Times newspaper's Births, Marriages and Deaths page, just a week after Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch did the same.

While Mr Cumberbatch's announcement went slightly under the radar in the news section of the paper, with just a small nib on page 20, Ms Halliwell's engagement to Formula One boss Christian Horner gained greater attention on page six of today's edition.

Indeed, Cumberbatch's big news was treated to a measly 101 words while Ms Halliwell's received a relatively whopping 329! What does it all mean? Who will we get next week? Perhaps a front page splash... Watch this space. Or not.
