Just followed her on Instagram, she has completely transformed.. Stunning country home, extremely posh accent... She's turned into a stepford wife... She looks incredible!

She was a regular fixture at F1, some would say hoping to marry well

Maybe Horner went after her? Who knows?

TheDuchessOfMN · 20/10/2021 18:21

I’m laughing at the idea of a multimillionaire woman having to “hang around” anywhere to bag herself a rich man

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 20/10/2021 18:26

Yeah, I don't think she needed the money somehow! 😂 And isn't Bluebell's father really rich anyway?

I think she just fancied Horner, God knows why - if I remember correctly he had terrible hair back then as well, she sorted out that barnet for him pretty sharpish!

Aderyn21 · 20/10/2021 18:29

Sometimes it's not about money though, but access to a social group or class that you wouldn't have unless you married into it - social respectability, I suppose.

RedRum27 · 20/10/2021 18:29

She might not have wanted to bag a ‘rich’ man as she is wealthy in her own right but maybe just a man? A man who also mixes in certain circles and would enable her to do so as well. Some rich men and some rich women still want to bag themselves a partner, it’s not totally unheard of. Not saying this is Geri but I might be super rich and still want a man, you never know. Maybe she was wealthy enough to be able to hang around the paddock and have access to men that meet her requirements as in maybe she wanted someone well educated, also wealthy etc. Who knows?

An interview from 1996/7

TertiusLydgate · 20/10/2021 18:38

Oh she was really quite Essex back then!

I only watched a few minutes but in that time she said ‘y’know’ 908 times 🤬

@Mybalconyiscracking

Well, isn’t this a judgy thread?
I absolutely do judge women who pursue relationships with married men, particularly when said married man has a heavily pregnant wife. And yes, I judge the men too.

They’re both equally grubby and awful people.

EspressoDoubleShot · 20/10/2021 18:47

Geri didn’t steal her Christian,he left his pg partner of14+ year it be with Geri
He left his own pg partner and child, if there is any comment it should be aimed at him
It’s tiring to read the sexually aggressive woman trope of the sexual predator who uses her guile and steals men away. men are not possessions they leave, willingly by choice
Christian left his pg partner by choice. His own parents didn’t attend his wedding to Geri

Classica · 20/10/2021 18:52

Meh.

I think a woman who starts a relationship with a man who has a pregnant partner can expect a little criticism. If I did the same I'd gird my loins and expect some flack.

I agree with this.

Also if you loom at pictures of CH with Beverley and then when he's been with Geri a while he's had a makeover for sure.

I thought her wedding dress was absolutely beautiful.

Clymene · 20/10/2021 19:04

She didn't steal Christian. No one can steal a person. But she's not a very nice woman.

And he's complete scum. Even his parents think so. I hope it's all been worth it.

Yogawankonobi · 20/10/2021 19:04

People reinvent themselves all of the time. I’m not the same as I was in my 20’s.
She played a character in spice girls.

Plus I don’t think she’s ‘posh’, she’s just wealthy.

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2021 19:07

Looks like bridges have been built since the wedding

@BrilloPaddy

She's a chameleon, I've got a friend just like her. Changes her entire look and personality according to who she's in a relationship with.

And posting a birthday message to her step daughter from her and Christian??? He's her Dad ffs. She's a piece of work and I feel very sorry for Christian's ex partner having to cope with them both.

I genuinely don't get why that's an issue?
Plumedenom · 20/10/2021 19:19

She looks fantastic, she has a lovely voice, her life looks balanced and family oriented and frankly it's testament to someone who has worked her socks off and is now enjoying the fruit of her labour. Happy for Geri!

The message was along the lines of happy birthday from Geri,Christian, Blue and Monty.

Not Geri, Dad, Blue and Monty.

I think it's weird.

Weird doesn't make her a piece of work, does it?
Itsnotover · 20/10/2021 21:13

Geri was well known as being the most financially savvy in the Spice Girls and therefore will have made sensible decisions about making her earnings go far I guess.

mydogisthebest · 20/10/2021 21:51

@mustlovegin

I have a bit of crush on Toto

Toto is good looking but not as smiley or charismatic

I don't think Horner is the slightest bit charismatic and he certainly isn't very smiley when he is moaning at practically all the F1 races.

Me and DH can't stand him always moaning and whinging

Mine got deleted too - god knows why - I think I said she’d had work done on her face - which she has done! What’s the harm saying that?!
TooSpotty · 21/10/2021 10:32

Well she was in the year below me at school and she says she's a year younger than me now... And her accent is the same as most girls who went to Watford Girls' Grammar.

I didn't go there myself but quite a few of my friends did and knew her.

I DID go to WGGS and have spent twenty years telling people she is exactly as old as she says she is. It's a real lesson in how frequently repeated rumours become accepted as fact.

And her accent was definitely a Watford one.
