Geri Horner breaks her social media silence with a sweet birthday tribute for ... trends now
Geri Horner has returned to social media for the first time since her husband Christian became embroiled in an internal investigation at Formula, having stood by her spouse throughout the scandal.
The Spice Girl shared a sweet birthday tribute for Victoria Beckham as she turned 50 on Wednesday, along with a gallery of snaps documenting their friendship.
Geri captioned the post: 'Happy Birthday @victoriabeckham you're amazing! From our Tank girl audition over 30 years ago, and you're still shining bright! Wishing you love & joy.'

However, his future remains under scrutiny after text messages between Horner and what appears to be a female colleague were leaked in 79 screenshots, as an anonymous sender sent an email that also copied in FIA chief Mohammed Ben Sulayem and F1 boss Stefano Domenicali.

The Red Bull boss was cleared of wrongdoing, allowing him to keep his £8million-a-year job and fly out to Bahrain ahead of the season-opening Grand Prix on Saturday. Friends of his wife said she had been 'so very relieved' that her family could finally move on with their lives after Horner spent weeks under the spotlight.
But just 24 hours after being formally cleared, the Red Bull team principal's career and marriage appear to have been plunged back into chaos. Hundreds of WhatsApp exchanges purportedly between Horner and the colleague, some sexual in nature, were released via an anonymous email account.
There is no way of checking the validity of the lengthy and frequent messages which appear to switch between the mundane and the intimate.
