Geri Horner faces another blow as her firm racks up $1.35m debt amid hubby's Red Bull firing
It comes following her husband Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull one year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he allegedly sent to a female employee.
According to a new publication, Geri could now be facing her own troubles as her company Falcon Queen Productions has sunk further into the red, according to The Mirror.
The Mirror reports, Geri had a deficit of $1,000,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a $372,572.40 the previous year.
The singer released her children's books, Rosie Frost And The Falcon Queen and Rose Frost: Ice On Fire via the firm.
However, her 'main company, Wonderful Productions, earned almost $3m in the 12 months to August last year.'
Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls' fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals.
DailyMail.com has contacted Geri's representative for comment.
Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull earlier this week.
It ends the longest reign of Formula One team principals in the sport and comes a year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee.
Red Bull issued a statement confirming the news, reading: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today, Wednesday 9 July 2025, and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.'
Horner's former Spice Girl wife Geri stood by her husband after the explosive accusations rocked the Formula One world as Horner vehemently denied the claims.
Screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages between Horner and a Red Bull employee were leaked anonymously the day after a three-week investigation, carried out externally, cleared the 51-year-old of all allegations.
Horner survived accusations of coercive behavior towards his colleague – and was twice cleared in internal investigations of wrongdoing.
In the midst of the controversy, he was told by his wife, Spice Girl Geri, to make it 'all go away' – a feat he pulled off for 16 months.
The file allegedly containing texts and images was leaked to almost 200 people involved in the sport, including owners Liberty Media, team principals and the media.
Horner was then exonerated for a second time after the female employee appealed against the findings of the investigation, which were upheld.
An independent lawyer interviewed Horner for almost nine hours, it is understood.
Netflix's most recent series of its hugely-successful Drive to Survive programme revealed Horner's immediate reaction to the bombshell news of the alleged texts being leaked.
He said: 'The higher you rise, the sharper the knives.'
'I've reached the top of my game and I never thought in a million years I'd have a challenge like this in my career,' Horner continued. 'It's a crucial time of year, in a job that I do, you're the front face of the organisation.
'You can either hide away or you can get out there and face it.'

American visits Tesco for first time and is floored by 'insane' food Brits 'love'
An American visited Tesco for the first time, and one thing left her totally floored. Tals has been documenting her travels and the British supermarket took her by surprise for one main reason An American visited Tesco for the first time, and she was left surprised by the popular British supermarket and how it differs to shops in the US. Tals documents her travel journeys online, and she recently headed to Tesco to experience what it's like to pick up essential items at the supermarket. The content creator, who's known as travellingwithtals on TikTok, said it quickly became her "favourite place" after visiting as she was blown away by a few things. She was left in "awe" of the supermarket, and quickly started to ask questions about how things worked at the popular store. One thing she was particularly interested in was meal deals. After being told how the deal works by a member of staff, she admitted she was left spoilt for choice at what to pick - it seems as though she fell in love with meal dealsjust has quickly as Brits did though they have recently been shaken up. In the clip, Tals said: "This is insane. How does this not exist in the United States? I'm literally in awe. I would eat this every single day. "You can get a protein shake as part of the meal deal. Is this only in London? Is this in England? Where is this? Because this is crazy. "Don't judge me - I literally got some sort of dunk thing. I was too overwhelmed - I just picked the first thing I saw. How did I not find out about Tesco meal deals until today?" Warning: Below video may contain offensive language She admitted she felt like she "stepped into another world" after making the foodie discovery. As well as being "so cheap", she thought it was amazing that there was so much to choose from too. At the time she visited, the meal only set her back £4.00, which she thought was pretty great. While she admitted the sushi she picked up was "nothing special", she said it tasted fine and was actually "much better" than US supermarket offerings. Tals was so impressed by the idea of the humble meal deal that it actually caused her to "fall in love" with Tesco. Sometimes it's the littlest things that really do please people. The video has been viewed over 4,000 times since it was shared, and people were quick to comment too. They offered all sorts of different ideas. One said: "That's a little Tesco. Wait until you see a big Tesco." Another added: "You need to get a Clubcard and it will be cheaper." Someone else also chimed in with: "Not only Tesco do meal deals, and this is UK-wide, not just London. Love a meal deal." Tals is one of many Americans who document their travels online and report their findings. She left a few people chuckling with her tale about Tesco.

Former MasterChef contestant hits out at sacked John Torode for not intervening after 'incredibly inappropriate' comment from Gregg Wallace
Former MasterChef contestant Aasmah Mir has hit out at sacked presenter John Torode for not intervening after an 'incredibly inappropriate' comment from Gregg Wallace. The Scottish broadcaster, 53, appeared on the show in 2017 and subsequently complained about the behaviour of Wallace. She claimed he asked her to tell a colleague at the BBC that she was a 'sexy b****' and said he told a fellow contestant she was 'handling fish like a rapist'. She was one of 83 people to make allegations against the BBC star, with a report this week from production company Banijay saying that 45 of the complaints had been upheld against the presenter. Torode was then sacked after the same report upheld an allegation of racist language. Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, Aasmah Mir said while she did not experience any issues from Torode, she was appalled at the way he did not intervene while Wallace made inappropriate comments towards her. She said: 'I don't know how many of the allegations he witnessed. 'What I know is Gregg Wallace used an incredibly inappropriate term and John Torode didn't do anything. I mean there was no emotion. 'I mean there was no emotion. That could have been for a lot of things, that could be because it was 2017, it had been going since 2005. There had been a complaint made in 2005 by Kirsty Whark, maybe he had just become used to it? 'You would expect some emotion on his face, maybe he was just used to it. 'That is not his fault necessarily, that is Gregg Wallace's for putting him in that position.' The comment was made after Mir has just made her first dish on the show and had walked up to present it to Torode and Wallace. Asked by Richard Madeley if Torode had heard the comment, Mir replied: 'Yes. There is a screengrab of me putting my dish down and John Torode and Gregg Wallace are both there. So he definitely heard it.' Mir later told the presenters that she 'felt sorry for Gregg Wallace' She said: 'I feel sorry for him. I do feel sorry for Gregg Wallace because of the neurodivergence which is quite obvious here. 'But someone at the production company should have stepped in earlier and said this is not acceptable we wouldn't have the mess we are in today.' Last year Aasmah Mir posted a cryptic message on social media where she wrote: 'Always keep your receipts.' Alongside the message was a photo of Ms Mir while on the show, standing in an apron next to the iconic MasterChef logo. She later posted again about her experience, writing: 'In 2017 I took part in Celebrity MasterChef. I put my first dish down in front of the judges and the cameras paused to reset. 'In front of everyone, Gregg Wallace told me to tell a colleague at the BBC "that she was a sexy b****." 'No-one said anything. And yes I did complain.' She added: 'I left the competition first. But two female contestants including Ulrika Jonsson told me afterwards that he had told another contestant that the way she was handling fish "looked like a rapist doing foreplay".' Meanwhile Torode was dramatically axed from MasterChef - hours after the BBC's director general refused to back him over an allegation of using racist language. The corporation said the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming the show. The complaint against Torode was revealed in the report into co-presenter Gregg's inappropriate behaviour. Wallace, 60, was sacked after dozens of complaints against him were upheld. It comes as reports suggest The Australian chef could take legal action against the BBC after he was sacked from MasterChef. Sources suggest the chef is 'preparing to launch a lawsuit against the BBC' and wants to pursue bosses for unfair dismissal. 'He's telling people there is no proof of his supposed comment. It was not in a work capacity, it was just hearsay. John is determined to clear his name,' sources told The Mirror. But, such legal action may prove impossible for Torode as sources told MailOnline his contract was with Banijay rather than the BBC. The Australian chef was dramatically axed from MasterChef - hours after the BBC's director general refused to back him over an allegation of using racist language. The complaint against John was revealed in the report into co-presenter Gregg's inappropriate behaviour Torode identified himself on Monday as an unnamed person in the report who was accused of using 'racist language'. However, the presenter said 'he had absolutely no recollection' of the incident and did 'not believe that it happened'. But in a statement yesterday, the BBC said: 'This allegation - which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace - was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. 'We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' Hours before the announcement, BBC director general Tim Davie had refused to back Torode and said he expected 'action to be taken' over the allegation. Responding to his sacking, Torode, who is married to actress and former Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner, said: 'I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few says seem to have prevented that.' He said he 'had loved every minute' working on the show but it was 'time to pass the cutlery to someone else'. 'Life is ever changing and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere,' he added. MasterChef bosses are reportedly pushing to air Gregg Wallace and John Torode's final series 'when the dust settles' after they were both sacked from the cooking show. The upcoming series' - which have already been filmed - features former I'm A Celeb star and restaurant critic Grace Dent, who replaced Wallace to co-host with Torode. The Sun reports that The BBC and production company Banijay plan to air both the amateur and celebrity editions. However, MailOnline understands BBC director general Tim Davie, who has the final say, has not yet made his decision on whether MasterChef will or will not be aired.

Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia were seen in wigs and glasses, and Dudley wore a tracksuit top and bottoms. New Harry Potter star Dominic McLaughin, 11, is in attendance at the filming, seen in the iconic glasses with a large blue hoodie on. The family filmed as the crew busied around them, touching up makeup and taking photos, while getting everyone into position. Harry Potter legend breaks his silence as replacement cast in HBO TV series They were picture zipping between different areas of the zoo in golf buggies, reportedly shocking members of the the public in the process. Showrunners have guaranteed the new series will be a "faithful adaptation" of the books penned by controversial author, J.K Rowling, who is also serving as an executive producer. Alastair Stout will play Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton will take on the role of Hermione Granger acting alongside him to round out the wizarding trio.

The Sun revealed how HBO's adaptation will be filmed in a £billion mini town - including a school and medical centre. It will include new roads, multi-storey car parks and vast hangars to house the sets. A TV insider said: 'Warner Bros are making a huge commitment to the new TV show, looking at making multiple, lengthy series over the next decade. 'So they see pumping a huge amount of cash in upfront to construct this infrastructure as a worthwhile investment which they'll eventually get a return on. 'What they'll have is a small metropolis which will not only provide the backdrop for the show but all the facilities the huge cast and crew need, too.' 15 15 15 15
