EXCLUSIVE: Former Spice Girl Geri Horner’s week has gotten worse with bleak news from one of her companies after her husband Christian was sacked by Red Bull
Geri Halliwell-Horner is facing more than the fall-out from her other-half’s Formula 1 sacking – the Spice Girl’s book company is in debt to the tune of £1million. The star, 51, found herself at the centre of a storm this week when husband Christian Horner was suddenly fired by Red Bull Racing, where he was team principal.
Sources close to Geri said she “wasn’t happy about the attention”. And it has emerged she is facing her own work troubles, as new accounts for her business reveal it is in the red. Recently filed documents show the firm, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year.

It had assets of £72,000, but with creditors of more than £1.1m, is now running at a loss of just over £1m. Geri set up the firm in 2021 and, two years later, launched her debut novel, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen. In April this year she released a second title, Rose Frost: Ice On Fire.
She has no immediate financial worries as her main company, Won-derful Productions, earned £2.16m in the 12 months to August last year. And she and Christian are worth a combined £70m.
The former F1 boss, also 51, was dismissed 17 months after he was accused of sexual harassment and coercive, controlling behaviour by a female employee at Red Bull. He was later cleared of the allegations which he always denied.
Geri has previously said she’s taking inspiration for tech mogul Steve Jobs as she reinvents herself after her Spice Girls heyday. Ginger Spice says is looking to bigwigs like the Apple founder and Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg when it comes to her outfits.
Vowing to only wear white now, it’s a marked difference from her colourful pop persona. “I went through a period when I was in my 20s wearing black all the time,” Geri mused.
“But I’ve gone through different theories. I looked at a lot of guys, and they always wear the same thing. Whether it’s Steve Jobs, Facebook guy, you know, they all wear the same thing, like a uniform. I thought, well, actually, how much time do you use getting ready? That was one thing, and everything matches. It keeps things simple.”
The singer had undergone a transformation since her pop days, now positioning herself in high society as the wife of former Red Bull CEO Christian. She’s no longer party girl, more lady of the manor. Recalling her rise to stardom, it wasn’t all champagne and caviar, says Geri, as she reminds us of her working class roots.
“Stopping off at service stations and having sausage rolls,” she remembered about her early girlband days in the 90s on the Table Manner podcast.
“I really remember having chips and scraps, which are from up north, the little, you know, the bottom ends, which I really do love chips. I have to say, that is my other favourite food.”
