Did Geri Halliwell always talk with a plum in her mouth?

Ive just had to switch Jimmy Fallon off because she talks like shes from the royal family. Did she talk like that when she was Ginger Spice from Watford? Do any of her mates pull her up on it I wonder?

If memory serves she started talking really posh while dating Henry Beckwith who I think is an aristocrat. It seemed she was trying to fit in with his set. At the time she sounded really strange but she has perfected it over the years.

My MIL still has a voice she saves just for the telephone. It's hilarious. It's her, but the version that did well for herself and went up in the world. She can't seem to help it. She also has a another change of voice when she's had a drink or two. That's even more funny, if slightly harder to understand.

This reminds me of a scene from the movie, Miracle on 34th Street:

Haven’t heard her recently.
The white clothes are desperate though.
Used to be a thing with older actresses too.
It looks like some kind of mental health issue for her, I’ve started to feel a bit sorry for her, when she’s photographed.

What's the significance of the white clothes? Don't lots of people wear white?
