TORMENT OVER

SPICE Girl Geri Halliwell was “relieved and elated” Wednesday night after her F1 boss husband was cleared of sending improper messages to a female employee.

The 51-year-old singer had stood solidly by Christian Horner, who will stay as team principal of Red Bull Racing.

The star had endured three weeks of torment following the claims.

On Wednesday Horner, 50, was told he will stay with the team until the end of the season after the woman’s claims were thrown out.

Geri was said to have been delighted at the news. A source said: “This has been weeks of hell for Christian and his family.

“As he has said all along, these claims are ‘nuts’.

“An exhaustive investigation has been carried out and the allegations have proven to be nonsense.

“Geri has been rock solid behind Christian — and his whole family is relieved and elated that it’s over. Those feelings are there but no one close to Christian feels like celebrating much after what he’s been through.

“For the time being his focus is back fully on winning races.”

Former racing driver Christian’s £8million-a-year job was secured after a three-week internal ­investigation dismissed the unidentified employee’s slur.

He had initially been under investigation over alleged inappropriate behaviour but the probe was later said to involve sending improper messages to the woman.

Geri was said to have been left “in floods of tears” when the scandal first broke earlier this month and was supported by pals including her fellow Spice Girls.

Christian, who married the pop star in 2015, had always vehemently denied the claims and vowed to fight to clear his name.

The F1 boss flew out to Bahrain ahead of the F1 season’s opening race where Red Bull’s world champ Max Verstappen will lead the team’s latest push for glory.

A source told The Sun: “Christian’s career, his marriage and his reputation were attacked but there are now no question marks over his character.

“There is no shadow. But questions are being asked about how this happened, why it happened and who was responsible.” — Sun.
