Fresh blow for Geri Horner after husband Christian is sacked from F1's Red Bull
The team principal's sudden dismissal comes a year on from his sexting scandal with an employee.
2
After The Sun told how it's claimed to have prompted Geri to make a decisive move about their future, it's now been reported the Spice Girls ' book company is in £1million debt.
The Mirror claims new accounts for her business, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year.
Geri set up the firm in 2021 and launched her debut novel, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen two years later.
In April this year she released a second title, Rose Frost: Ice On Fire.
There are no such concerns withher main company, Won-derful Productions, which earned £2.16m in 12 months.
Geri also has a jaw-dropping £440million net worth between her and Christian.
When Christian's sexting scandal was exposed in February last year, Geri put on a very public show of support for her husband - despite it reportedly leaving her "heartbroken" and "utterly humiliated".
She was by his side for the beginning of the Formula One season in Bahrain, with the couple pictured hand in hand, cuddling and even seen sharing an intimate kiss before the race.
But behind the scenes it seems she had already subtly started to focus on herself and cultivating her own brand, separate from her racing boss husband.
We revealed last year that the singer had begun using her maiden name for penning her children's books.
At the time Geri attempted to dismiss any meaning behind the name change, telling The Sunday Times: 'That's a load of c**p. It's my writing name.
"I haven't legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my passport."
But the bombshell news of Christian's Red Bull sacking yesterday has reportedly prompted Geri to speed up her plans to claw back her own identity.
It comes amid Geri's hopes of a Spice Girls reunion for the girlband's 30th anniversary next year.
A source revealed: "She's totally focused on her writing career with kids books and is trying to get the series made into a film.
"Meetings in Hollywood have happened and she's really pushing that. She'll have her head down and be focused on trying to make more of a name for herself there."
Christian was the longest reigning F1 boss after becoming head honcho of the Austrian team during its inception in 2005.
Allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him in February 2024 by a female team member were dismissed following a three-week internal probe.
He was accused of sending suggestive WhatsApp messages, in texts that were leaked a month later in March 2024. He denied the accusations throughout.

Port Talbot moves towards arc furnace future with groundbreaking ceremony
Port Talbot's steelworks will mark the beginning of its move towards green steel production on Monday. Ministers will join Tata Steel chiefs at the South Wales steel plant for a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the new electric arc furnace's construction. Natarajan Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Steel and the Tata Group, described the moment as an 'important day for Tata Group, Tata Steel and for the UK'. He added: 'At Port Talbot, we are building the foundations of a cleaner, greener future, supporting jobs, driving innovation and demonstrating our commitment to responsible industry leadership.' The Government has backed plans for the new £1.25 billion electric arc furnace at the Tata steelworks with a £500 million investment. The switch-on is due to take place in 2027 as part of the push towards greener production. Tata insists the move will cut Port Talbot's emissions by 90%, while ensuring the future of steel production in the town. The plant's last blast furnace was shut down in September 2024, with 2,500 workers to lose their jobs in the aftermath. The new electric arc furnace will be able to process scrap steel, but is not able to make virgin steel as a blast furnace can. Some MPs have said workers in South Wales have been let down in comparison with those retaining jobs in Scunthorpe, where ministers took control of the steelworks to prevent the closure of its blast furnaces. The Government has said the two steelworks were in different situations. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: 'This is our industrial strategy in action and is great news for Welsh steelmaking, backing this crucial Welsh industry, which will give certainty to local communities and thousands of local jobs for years to come. 'This Government is committed to a bright future for our steel industry, which is why we provided £500 million of funding to make this project possible.' Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens said the new furnace would help to realise 'the promise we made to the community, while the development of floating offshore wind, plans for a Celtic Freeport and millions more for local regeneration all mean that Port Talbot has a bright future'. First Minister of Wales Eluned Morgan said: 'This is a momentous day for heavy industry in Wales, as the electric arc furnace has secured the long-term future of steel making at Port Talbot. 'Seeing spades in the ground today provides a tangible sign of Tata's intention to continue producing steel in the area, an industry which has provided quality jobs to local people for generations.' Steelworkers' union Community described the groundbreaking ceremony as 'bittersweet'. Community assistant general secretary Alasdair McDiarmid said: 'This bittersweet day is a consequence of the devastating closure of the blast furnaces, but importantly a future for Port Talbot steelmaking is being secured. The workforce needs the electric arc furnace project to be both a success and a turning point, and we look forward to playing our part to get the new furnace up and running. 'Today should represent the first step towards rebuilding our steel industry and creating new high-quality jobs for our steel communities. Going forward we must see further investment to develop and grow the business, both here in Port Talbot and across all the crucial downstream sites. 'It was also good to see the Secretary of State in Port Talbot today, and we will continue to hold talks with Government on their plans to safeguard and co-invest in our steel industry. The UK needs a strong and resilient steel sector now more than ever, and steel should be the cornerstone of a national industrial strategy fit for the future.'

Love Island revives conversation about racial bias and misogynoir in dating
It used to be that dating was as simple as deciding between dinner, a trip to the movies or an arcade. Now, understanding the dating scene has become intermingled with smartphones, matchmaking apps and one's ability to navigate thorny social issues like racial preference in a mate. 'Love Island,' a widely popular international reality television franchise, is emblematic of the complexities of modern dating. It has also sparked heated discussions among fans about the desirability of Black women and darker-complexioned people both on and off air. The show, which aired the finale of the seventh season of its U.S. version Sunday and is airing the 12th season of its U.K. version, casts conventionally attractive 'islanders' who are generally in their early to late 20s for a six- to eight-week stay in a luxury villa. Men and women compete for long-lasting relationships and a cash prize. But as the show's daters face challenges meant to test their bonds, as well as elimination by villa mates or by fans' vote, notions of who is and isn't desirable frequently come up for viewers and contestants alike. In the end, many fans are left with the perception that racial bias, colorism and misogyny are especially inescapable for Black women on reality dating shows. 'The diversity in the U.K. one is terrible,' said Oghosa Ovienrioba, a content creator from London. 'It's very anti-Black.' It's not simply that Black women are picked last for coupling or eliminated first on the U.K. or U.S. versions of the show. Many fans say there's a recurring theme of suitors dumping or ditching Black female contestants when there is a fairer skinned option. Black female contestants have also complained of not doing well on the show when they don't lower their standards for intimacy with a suitor, as though they are lucky to even been considered dating material among more desirable mates. Even with these viewer frustrations, Ovienrioba said she prefers ' Love Island USA.' 'I feel like the dark skin Black women on that show always find men who fit their vibe, who respect them, who are attracted to them, desire them, treat them like queens," she said. 'Love Island' U.K. irks fans over treatment of Black women In the U.K. version, fans have counted multiple instances where Black female contestants were left as the last choice when couples were picked, or they were first to get eliminated and dumped from the villa. Many have also noted that it took eleven seasons before a darker-complexioned Black woman was declared the winner. Now in its 12th season, Love Island U.K. is still dogged by allegations of male contestants' bias against Black women. After 23-year-old Alima Gagigo, a Black woman, chose to couple up with 26-year-old Blu Chegini, a white man, he said, 'I'll be honest, on paper, you're not my type.' Gagigo responded, 'Of course,' as if those were words she was not surprised to hear. There is no evidence that Chegini was referring to Gagigo's race or ethnicity. But the exchange was enough to confirm what some in audience felt was an implicit bias against Black women in the villa. 'Love Island's only stipulation is that applicants are over 18, single and looking for love. Our application and casting process is inclusive to all and we are always aiming to reflect the age and diversity of our audience on the show,' a show spokesperson for 'Love Island U.K.' said. Black American contestants, too, say their complexion impacts their treatment JaNa Craig, a contestant on 'Love Island USA's' beloved sixth season, which aired last summer, landed a spot in the final four couples by the end of the competition alongside Kenny Rodriguez, who entered the villa 13 days into the season. Her bubbly personality made her a fan favorite. Although she initially worried about how viewers felt about her, the positive audience reaction culminated in her being deemed the 'baddest girl in Love Island history,' which means hot or beautiful in slang terms. Still, she felt some male contestants may not have been interested in her and Serena Page, another Black female contestant, because of their skin complexion. Page went on to win that season of 'Love Island USA.' 'The very first time I felt special is when the very first guy picked me because he had three options. Other than that, I always felt like I was getting the short end of the stick,' Craig said. 'Even though we know our worth and we know we're beautiful, we still felt like — not good enough.' Ultimately, Craig felt proudest when she heard from other Black women who said they appreciated her representation on the show, given the perception that Black women are less desirable on dating shows. 'I felt honored by the amount of Black girls that were like, 'JaNa, you inspire me,'' she said. 'Love Island USA' producer Peacock, which on Sunday debuted a spinoff to its popular Season 6 season, titled 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa,' declined comment for this story. Desirability concerns reflect real-world anti-Black sentiments Fans' and contestants' concerns about Black women's representation on the show reflect a real-world anti-Black and misogynistic views of Black women, commonly referred to as misogynoir. Scholars describe it as both implicit and explicit contempt for Black women, much of it rooted in racist stereotypes that are perpetuated in popular culture and mass media. While Love Island contestants are not being outright racist to Black female competitors, many viewers feel the interactions Black women have had on the show have been laced with implicit bias. Few viewers see anything wrong with 'Love Island' contestants being open about the specific traits they look for in potential suitors. Tall over short, fit over average build, tattooed over unmarked. But contestants' racial preferences, whether real or simply perceived by fans of the show, can't be seen as objective truth about who is or is not desirable in the world, said Alexandria Beightol, host of the podcast 'Apathy Is Not An Option' at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights and legal advocacy nonprofit. 'You recognizing you have a type should also be you recognizing you are a product of a lot of mass media,' Beightol said. The show's producers should see the show's popularity as an opportunity to dispel and not reinforce notions of beauty, especially ones harmful to Black women and darker-complexioned people, she added. 'It would behoove you to have some producers that look like some of the women on there who can kind of anticipate some of that drama,' Beightol said. 'They do frame those women as beautiful. In the history of reality programming, they've busted through a lot of the implicit views that the media used to hold itself to.'

Bank of England could make cuts to interest rates if jobs market slows down, Bailey says
The Bank of England could make cuts to interest rates if the jobs market slows down, Andrew Bailey has said. Businesses are 'adjusting employment' as a result of Chancellor Rachel Reeves ' decision to raise national insurance contributions (NICs) for employers, the governor of the Bank also told The Times. Companies are 'also having pay rises that are possibly less than they would have been if the NICs change hadn't happened', Mr Bailey said. In an interview with the newspaper, the governor said the British economy was growing behind its potential. This could open up 'slack' to bring down inflation, he said, meaning prices on goods would rise less swiftly compared with earnings in future. Mr Bailey said he believes the base rate set by the Bank of England would be lowered in future, after it was held in June. The current Bank rate of 4.25 per cent which has a bearing on all lending in the UK – including mortgages – will be reviewed again on 7 August by the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee. 'I really do believe the path is downward,' Mr Bailey told The Times. He added: 'But we continue to use the words 'gradual and careful' because… some people say to me 'why are you cutting when inflation's above target?'' The governor's indication that lower lending rates and reduced inflation could be around the corner comes as the government is facing pressure to improve living standards. Ms Reeves's tax and spend plans are also being constrained by the current borrowing costs, as well as downgraded growth forecasts. The chancellor's fiscal headroom has been in part eroded by U-turns on the winter fuel payment and welfare reforms, as well as global shocks to the British economy. Some in the Labour Party, including former leader Lord Neil Kinnock and Wales's first minister Baroness Eluned Morgan, are calling for a wealth tax to help bolster the public finances. On Sunday, transport secretary Heidi Alexander said such a tax had not been 'directly' discussed when ministers held an away day at the end of last week. But speaking to Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips programme, she would not rule out tax rises at the autumn budget, only saying tax decisions would be made based on 'fairness'.
