School girl Jessica Knight emerged from a coma after hearing Spice Girl Geri Halliwell singing.

The 14-year-old was stabbed in Chorley and had been left fighting for her life after suffering a stroke in hospital.

However, a visit from Halliwell prompted a sudden recovery in Knight’s health.

Mum Jill Walmsley told The Mirror: “Geri sang a couple of lines of one of their songs and Jessica started moving her arms and legs.

“It was amazing. We were all in fits of giggles because we were so relieved and it was just so funny seeing her legs move to Geri’s singing. The next day, she opened her eyes for the first time.

“You just don’t expect to be sitting in the hospital and for Geri Halliwell to walk in. She gave me a big hug and said that Jessica’s story had really touched her.”

A family member had contacted Halliwell because Knight was due to attend a Spice Girls concert in Manchester, but missed it because of the attack.

Walmsley added: “It’s just such a shame Jessica can’t remember anything about it - when I told her Geri had been to visit her, she looked stunned and said, ‘No way!’ Luckily, Geri left her a wristband from the Spice Girls concert as proof!”
