The Mirror claims new accounts for her business, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year.

When Christian's sexting scandal was exposed in February last year, Geri put on a very public show of support for her husband - despite it reportedly leaving her "heartbroken" and "utterly humiliated". She was by his side for the beginning of the Formula One season in Bahrain, with the couple pictured hand in hand, cuddling and even seen sharing an intimate kiss before the race. But behind the scenes it seems she had already subtly started to focus on herself and cultivating her own brand, separate from her racing boss husband.

It comes amid Geri's hopes of a Spice Girls reunion for the girlband's 30th anniversary next year. A source revealed: "She's totally focused on her writing career with kids books and is trying to get the series made into a film. "Meetings in Hollywood have happened and she's really pushing that. She'll have her head down and be focused on trying to make more of a name for herself there." Christian was the longest reigning F1 boss after becoming head honcho of the Austrian team during its inception in 2005. Allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him in February 2024 by a female team member were dismissed following a three-week internal probe. He was accused of sending suggestive WhatsApp messages, in texts that were leaked a month later in March 2024. He denied the accusations throughout.

Christian Horner's huge net worth, Ferrari stance and Geri Halliwell's messages
Now Christian Horner's time at Red Bull is over, Mirror Sport takes a look at the former team principal's life, including his huge net worth, and potential future Christian Horner is now no longer the team principal of Red Bull after he was relieved of his services. The 51-year-old had been with the team since their birth in 2005, steering them to eight Drivers' Championship titles, with the last four won consecutively from 2021 to 2024. However, this decision follows a tough 18 months that saw Red Bull's form gradually decline. Max Verstappen has since slipped to third in the standings and now trails Lando Norris by 61 points and current leader Oscar Piastri by 69. Most notably, his departure comes 17 months after he was accused of harassment and controlling behaviour by a female employee, allegations he has twice been cleared of by the F1 giant's parent company Red Bull GmbH. Now that Horner is no longer with the brand, Mirror Sport delves into his life. What is Christian Horner's net worth? Horner was the longest-serving team principal in the sport and was subsequently also the highest paid. The Times has previously stated that his salary had risen by 11% from £8.04m in 2022 to £8.92m in 2023, according to accounts filed by Red Bull Technology LTD. As well as his salary, there were also other business interests including two country homes in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire. When all of this is considered, his net worth is in and around the £41.4m mark, according to the Sun. Horner's journey in motorsport initially began as a driver, where he enjoyed some success and even became a race-winner with British Formula Renault in the late 1990s. He hung up his racing gloves in 1998, when he was only 25 years old. He then delved into team management, becoming the head of International Formula 3000 squad Arden International, which he helped launch back in 1997. In 2005, Red Bull Racing signed him up as their team principal and quickly became one of the powerhouses of F1. Geri Halliwell's clear messages Amidst swirling rumours, Geri Horner has been her husband's rock. Soon after the allegations came to light, she famously held his hand and walked with him down the paddock at the 2024 Bahrain GP. In March, it was reported that the ex-Spice Girl had opted to legally hyphenate her surname to Halliwell-Horner. In a 2024 video for Dior, she introduced herself with her maiden name by saying: "C'est moi! Geri, Geri Halliwell. Enchantée," further fuelling speculation about their status together. On the front page of her latest novels, the second instalment of her Rosie Frost series, her name is down as 'Halliwell-Horner.' Yet, when quizzed about a legal name change, the 52-year-old star vehemently denied such moves to The Times, saying: "That's a load of c**p. It's my writing name. I haven't legally changed anything - Horner is the name on my passport." She's continued to stick by her man and maintain a united front, putting pay to any doubt that she didn't want to work through the awkwardly public situation they were faced with. Christian Horner's clear Ferrari stance Horner has been regularly linked with a move to Ferrari, but has always been adamant that his loyalty was with the Milton Keynes team. Just last month, he poured cold water over any rumours of a departure, saying: "There are so many rumours, I'm not going anywhere. I'm fully committed to Red Bull. "We've got so much good stuff coming through the pipeline. We're on the verge of launching our own engine for 2026 which has been a massive project and undertaking. Of course, it's always flattering to be associated with other teams, particularly teams like Ferrari. But no, I'm not going anywhere." Horner has also said that he has turned down approaches from other brands in the past. While he did not name Ferrari, he did tell PlanetF1:"Obviously, over the years, I've had different approaches, and it's always flattering to be associated with any other team as they're all great teams. But my heart and soul are in this team." Whether Ferrari will be able to sway him to the red brand remains to be seen. They may have better luck now Horner is no longer with Red Bull.

Geri Halliwell-Horner insists she snacks all the time to avoid being 'hangry' as she chomps on leftover food in kooky behind the scenes video
Geri Halliwell-Horner posted a kooky video about how she 'snacks all the time' to stop being 'hangry' on Instagram on Wednesday. The Spice Girl, 52, took to her official Instagram account to share the video with her 1.4million followers as she promoted her brand new book, Rosie Frost: Ice On Fire. Geri could be seen with her team in her dressing room during the promotional campaign as she declared she enjoys snacking. She told fans: 'Guess what I'm eating, I can't even tell what I'm eating, it doesn't taste like what it should. Dates with Chia?' As the video progressed, Geri revealed her leftover food habit as she pointed out: 'This is overnight oats, and it's really nice, really nice. I've only just discovered them. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'What I'm going to do is take them with me, I've had it every day. A creature of habit, once I like something.' She added: 'My mother always said "don't waste food", I don't like wasting food.' Ginger Spice then ended the clip by loading her food haul into her bag as she set off on the next stop of her promo tour. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed how Geri is still cashing it in from her Spice Girl days, almost three decades after she quit the band in 1998. The mum-of-two has several profitable business ventures alongside her husband Christian Horner, including a race horse company, real estate investments and as a children's author. However, even without those incomes, the pop star is still sitting pretty, as new accounts filings reveal she made more than £860,000 last year though her former band. Geri's company, Wonderful Productions, was set up to receive income from the Spice Girls, and according to the latest published accounts, has reported an £862,312 profit for the 12 months up to August 2024. This takes the accumulated earnings held by the mum-of-two in the business to a staggering £2.16 million. Geri's latest book Rosie Frost: Ice On Fire, was released earlier this year and immediately became a hit. The new novel soared up the charts to become the #1 best seller on Amazon. Ice On Fire is a sequel to Geri's first book, Rosie Frost & the Falcon Queen, and was released this week, with the singer saying she'd hope it 'empower' the young readers. Earlier this week, MailOnline revealed how Geri and her husband Christian have launched a second bid to have plush gates installed at their giant Grade II listed mansion. The couple wanted to shift their current boundary back from the road and install stone posts on either side, replacing the current timber set-up. But planners rejected their plans as the 10ft tall proposals were 3ft higher than the current gate. Now the couple have re-applied to replace their gates - but this time limited the height of the gate to two meters.

Geri Horner embraces 'new chapter' away from Spice Girls as she shares favourite-ever book
Geri Horner has opened up about her love of reading and revealed her favourite book as she embarks on a 'new chapter' away from the Spice Girls and her Ginger Spice persona Former Spice Girls icon Geri Horner has opened up about her favourite books as she embraces a "new chapter in her life". She rose to fame with the hit group in the '90s, but Geri says she now considers herself a writer-producer beyond her Ginger Spice persona. The popular star told Hello! magazine, revealing a childhood filled with the enchantment of reading, with The Book Thief by Markus Zusak earning the top spot on her adult bookshelf. Cast back to her younger days, she said she would be lost in the magical world of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis or adventuring through Enid Blyton's creations. In an intimate chat with the mag, Geri reminisced: "I love all kinds (of books). When I was growing up my mother didn't have a lot of money, so I'd be reading a lot while everyone else was away on holiday," reports the Express. Memories flooded back as she recounted those days,saying: "I remember sitting under a tree at the bottom of the garden reading. I loved how a book could transport you anywhere, and still do. The iconic Ginger Spice star emerged in the '90s with the Spice Girls, notching up nine chart-toppers in the UK and becoming a global phenomenon. Despite their split in 2000 and brief reunion stints, mum-of-two Geri, who married Formula One bigwig Christian Horner since 2015, is now serenading a different tune, focusing on literary pursuits rather than music. Geri told Hello!: "I'm loving this chapter in my life. I love being a creator. Being in front of the camera is fun for five minutes, but I find writing much more rewarding." Geri Horner has revealed she's sent her fellow Spice Girls - Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, and Melanie Chisholm - copies of her new book but hasn't yet sought their opinions. The second instalment of Geri's Rosie Frost series, 'Rosie Frost: Ice on Fire', hit the shelves earlier this month. The murder-mystery features a fiery redhead protagonist, much like Geri herself. Meanwhile, Mel B's enigmatic social media post has set tongues wagging about a potential Spice Girls reunion. Mel teased fans with the possibility of the iconic group reuniting musically after they went their separate ways in 2000. Despite calling it a "hiatus" and having reunited for performances since, speculation is rife that another spectacular arena tour might be on the horizon. The Spice Girls have sold over 100 million records globally, earning them the title of the best-selling girl group ever. At 49, Mel B shared a nostalgic video of herself browsing through old photos from the Spice Girls' heyday while in a car.
