Geri Horner all smiles after derailing lucrative Spice Girls deal sparking feud with band
GERI Horner looks like she hasn't got a care in the world despite reports that she stopped each of the Spice Girls from earning £1 million.
The 52-year-old happily smiled for the camera as she attended the England v USA women's football match, at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Ginger Spice was positively beaming as she made her way pitchside to show her support for the Lionesses ahead of kick-off.
Wrapped up warm in a white coat with cream turtle neck jumper, it's the first time Geri's been seen out in public, since being accused of putting a spanner in the works of a potentially lucrative TV deal.
Insiders told The Sun that all five Spice Girls were approached about a new Spice Girls drama series, which would have earned them a tidy sum.
And that's despite not actually having to do anything as actresses would be playing their roles.

The firm behind Netflix hit show The Crown, Leftbank Pictures, are said to have offered the eye-watering fee.
But despite the other Spice Girls, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Chisolm, as well as Victoria Beckham all agreeing to the project, Geri did not.
A source said: “It would have seen five actresses taking on the roles of Posh, Ginger, Scary, Sporty and Baby.
"The venture would have landed them all pay deals of around £1million for essentially not lifting a finger.

“But as the negotiations ramped up, the others were told Geri had objected.
"The plans have basically been thrown out.
"They wanted to have the agreement of all the band and without Geri it's hard to happen."
Insiders say that the potential project was halted in the summer when Geri spoke about the possibility of doing her own TV show.
In October, a source reported that Geri and her F1 boss husband Christian Horner were being followed round by a film crew in LA.
The Spice Girls last performed together at the closing ceremony for the 2012 Olympics.
And the last time they've been in the same room together was for Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday bash earlier this year.
