London, April 6 : Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell''s ex fiance has confessed that the star''s ex-bandmate Victoria Beckham was more his `cup of tea'.

Politi got to meet three of Halliwell''s Spice Girls pals while they were dating and was smitten by Victoria a. k. a Posh, who he feels shares his refined style.

"To be honest, looks and dress-wise she was normally more my cup of tea (type) than Geri as she dresses like me - a little more refined and elegant," the Daily Star quoted him, as saying.
