Geri Halliwell's business lost £150,000 last year in new blow to Spice Girl as her F1 chief husband Christian Horner faces claims he sent 'sexually suggestive' texts to female Red Bull employee

Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's personal businesses lost £150,000, MailOnline can reveal today - in a further blow to the star as she deals with details of the probe into her F1 chief husband, Christian Horner.

Accounts for her main business Wonderful Productions Limited show she made a loss in 2023 of £77,994 - compared to a profit of more than £152,000 previously.

It meant she could not pay herself anything compared to the year before when she enjoyed a £762,240 payout from her company Wonderful Productions.

Falcon Queen Limited, a separate company owned by Geri, also made losses of £75,521 and plunged £276,000 into the red.

While there is no suggestion of immediate financial problems as Wonderful holds reserves of almost £1.38 million, the downturn could not come at a worse time for Geri.

Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls' fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals.

It was originally called Firecracker Productions Limited - and has seen its finances go up and down.

As recently as 2020 Geri paid herself more than £1 million from the company and in 2019 it was worth £3 million.

Falcon Queen Productions was set up by Geri in May 2021 to provide ‘business support activities. 

She is the only director and sole employee and controls it via Wonderful Productions, which owns all the shares.

Geri's husband Christian is currently being probed over claims that he sent 'sexually suggestive' texts to a woman employee on his Red Bull F1 team.

He vehemently denies all the allegations, which were initially believed to centre on claims of controlling behaviour.

But a Dutch paper De Telegraph claimed to have seen messages at the heart of the probe, and alleges that they were 'sexually orientated'.

De Telegraaf reported that Horner allegedly sent sex messages to the woman employee 'over an extended period of time'.

Messages were said to have been saved and presented as evidence to the external barrister running the inquiry after the woman made a complaint last December.

The Dutch paper also claimed Horner's lawyers tried to settle the case with a payment — and that senior Red Bull management were aware of his offer.
