He was thought to have been under investigation for alleged controlling behaviour after a female employee lodged an official complaint last year.

But Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claimed to have seen messages at the heart of the probe that were “sexually orientated”.

Horner, 50, vehemently denies the allegations and has vowed to fight the claims.

He is said to be hoping for the investigation to be resolved within the next week — when the team will fly to Bahrain for pre-season testing.

He has already faced an eight-hour grilling but is said to be happy to cooperate with the investigation for as long as necessary, including answering more questions from an independent lawyer.

In the meantime, the Spice Girls, who had a hit with Say You’ll Be There, have been rallying around Geri, 51.

A source said: “They are quietly supporting her behind the scenes and checking in to make sure she is OK.

“Geri has been left ­broken by the ordeal, but is grateful for the kindness being shown to her by friends.”
