The former Spice Girl's husband remains in the spotlight following claims of "inappropriate behaviour" at work

Geri Horner has been accused of lying about her age by her former Spice Girls bandmate Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B.

The Ginger Spice star is supposedly 52, but her fellow Spice Girl doesn’t believe she was born in 1972 and confessed she has no idea how old her friend is.


Former Scary Spice Brown admitted: “No one knows how old she is,” adding that Horner had lied about her age for years.

The 48-year-old went on to reveal Horner always kept her passport close to her while the band was touring.

Speaking on Olivia Attwood’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast, Brown continued: “No, well no one knows how old Geri is.

“No one’s seen her passport. I mean, I know we’ve travelled the world, but I still don’t know how old she is.”

The claims come amid ongoing controversy about Horner’s husband, F1 racing boss Christian Horner.

Horner, 50, was accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a female staff member.

He was cleared of misconduct by Red Bull but several figures, including Jos Verstappen, have called for the team principal to leave his role.

Red Bull's statement, released last month, read: "The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed.

"The complainant has a right of appeal. Red Bull is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial.

"The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned.

“Red Bull will continue striving to meet the highest workplace standards."

Since the claims about her husband were revealed, his chart-topping wife has publicly supported him.

She showed unity with Horner by appearing by his side at the first two races of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

The opening Grand Prix of the year saw the former girl band icon walking into the paddock hand-in-hand with Horner, with the pair sharing a kiss in front of the cameras.

The Spice Girl has kept a low profile outside of attending the F1 races, but she was seen for the first time without her husband at the Commonwealth Day Service earlier this month.
