The Spice Girls celebrated a previously unknown milestone on Tuesday by celebrating the 30th anniversary of their first audition, as Geri Horner tries to divert attention from her husband’s sexting scandal.
The singer went toe-to-toe with embattled Red Bull boss Christian Horner during the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday, shortly after suggestive text messages allegedly from her husband to a female employee were leaked online.
It is believed that a behind-the-scenes video documenting Geri’s first audition with the Spice Girls could somehow divert attention from her marriage, and sources close to the band suggest that the incident was a factor in their decision to release the video.
One said: “This will definitely distract her.” She’s desperate for people to start talking about something else now besides her problems with Christian.
“She loves the Spice Girls and remembers everything so fondly, they were happy times for her, so it’s fortuitous that the anniversary of her first audition falls now.
