Geri Horner's week from hell and why she'd 'never have gone' to Mel B's wedding

Geri Horner has had a "week from hell" - and there wasno way she would be attending Mel B's wedding. Her Spice Girls bandmate tied the knot last weekend but Geri was nowhere to be seen.

Ahead of the event, insiders confirmed Emma Bunton would be there with her husband Jade Jones, but Mel C, Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner will not. A source had said: "Victoria loves Mel but sadly she will be out of the country, and wishes she could be there. Mel C too would have been there but she is on tour in Sweden. They have a great deal of affection for Melanie."

Mel married her partner Rory in a glittering wedding attended by a number of celebrities including Alan Carr, Angelica Bell and Katherine Ryan amongst others.

It has been a tough week for Geri, as Christian also made a surprise exit from his role at Red Bull. In a lengthy post, Christian wrote: "After an incredible journey of 20 years together, it is with a heavy heart that today I say goodbye to the team I have absolutely loved. Every one of you, the amazing people at the factory, have been the heart and soul of everything that we have achieved. Win and lose, every step of the way, we have stood by each other as one and I will never forget that.

"It's been a privilege being part of and leading this epic team and I am so proud of our collective accomplishments and you all. Thanks to the amazing partners and fans who enabled us to go racing. Your support has helped grow the team from its humble beginnings to an F1 powerhouse that laid claim to six Constructors Championships and eight Drivers' Championships."

Now, a source has revealed how much of a tough week it has been for Geri, with Christian's ex-wife having passed away.

"It’s been a really devastating time for the family and Christian has been in a hole about Beverley," a source told The Mirror of Geri's tough week, "Geri was never going to go to Mel B’s wedding, it just wouldn’t have been fun for her and Christian to have gone when her and Mel haven’t always seen eye to eye.

"It’s been a week from hell for the family with Beverley’s passing and Christian’s exit from Red Bull, but Geri is relieved now everyone knows what’s been going on behind closed doors, because it’s not been easy."

A source also previously revealed to usthat Geri was unhappy over her husband Christian Horner's decision to leave Red Bull.

"Geri is going to stand by her man and is supporting him fully. Image means so much to her, but behind closed doors she isn't happy about the attention this brings," the insider said, "Image means so much to Geri and she knows everyone will relate it back to the leaked messages and what went on last year, so it's not easy for her."
