Former Spice Girl Gari Halliwell wanted to tie the knot with singer-songwriter George Michael before realising that he was a gay.

Halliwell, 40, said she misread the signs given by Michael but after discovering about his sexuality they became close friends, reported Sun online.

"I'm totally off. My gaydar is useless-well it's better these days. With George Michael years ago I'd made plans to marry him, I used to practise kissing with his poster. Then we met and I started being all flirty eyes, licking my lips and the sexy poses and I just felt there was nothing coming back.
 

"Then I was chatting on the phone to him and he starts talking about his boyfriend and I'm like what? How could I be so wrong'!" Halliwell said.

After the misunderstanding, the pair became close friends and have helped each other through tough times.

"You know he's the only celebrity friend I have, aside from the Spice Girls, that I tell all my secrets to. I have long chats with him, he's like a brother. In the past I've played my music to him. He's very normal when you talk one-on-one with him." she added.
