The Spice Girls icon is set to attend the event on Saturday

Geri Halliwell reportedly wants the 'world to know' she's still with Christian Horner ahead of Saturday's Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia.

The Spice Girls icon had been expected to miss the race due to her busy schedule.


However, Geri will now be attending the race in the Middle East after performing a U-turn.

The 51-year-old is poised to put on another united front with Horner, who was recently cleared of inappropriate behaviour. He has always denied the accusations against him.

Geri joined her husband in Bahrain last week, with the pair holding hands and kissing in the paddock.

Horner has categorically denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour at Red Bull and is keen for the saga to end.

With his accuser now suspended, however, Red Bull are continuing to make inquiries behind the scenes.

And a source has told The Sun that Geri 'wants the world to know' she's still with Horner, with the pair determined to drown out the noise.

“It was tough for Geri in Bahrain but she was determined to show her marriage is still strong," they're quoted as saying.

"And she will do the same at the Saudi Grand Prix.

“Christian has been full of praise for her support and she wants the world to know they are still very much a couple.

“She has lived her life in the public eye for years as a Spice Girl and can deal with the attention.”

Horner spoke at a press conference on Thursday ahead of the Saudi GP.

He came out fighting, too, blasting 'intrusions' into his family life while urging everyone to switch their focus to racing, rather than himself.

"My wife has been phenomenally supportive throughout this as have my family," he said.

"It's obviously been a very trying period. I'm married and have three children.

"When that intrusion includes your children and the scrutiny that is placed on my marriage, I'm very fortunate that I have a beautiful family and a very supportive wife. And I'm the only one that has been named in this.

"It's very challenging, because when there's children involved, when there's families, parents involved, it's not pretty.

"It is time now to focus on why we are here, which is to go Formula One racing."

Horner also took aim at Red Bull's rivals, claiming some - who he didn't name - had tried to 'take advantage' of the situation.

He added: “What has happened, then after, is that others have looked to take advantage of it.

“Unfortunately Formula 1 is a competitive business. There’s been obviously elements looking to benefit from it.

"That’s perhaps the not-so-pretty side of our industry.”

Horner also had to answer a question about Jos Verstappen, the father of Red Bull driver Max.

Jos recently claimed Red Bull could 'explode' if Horner stays on as team principal.

But Horner refused to elaborate on what he really thinks about the Dutchman's explosive comments.

"Obviously, Max's father has played a key role in his career and getting him to Formula 1," he said.

"But obviously, Jos is his own man. Max is his own man as well.

"And we've seen him go from being a teenager when he joined us to now, very much a young man that's achieved what he has.

"So it's not for me to comment on relationships between fathers and drivers. They're all unique between the different individuals."
