SPICE GIRL Geri Horner embarrassed husband Christian the first time he tried to kiss her.
The Red Bull chief has been in a relationship with Ginger Spice for ten years, seven of which have been as husband and wife.
But it took a while for their love to blossom and Horner revealed he was left red-faced the first time he tried to kiss Geri.
Unfortunately for Horner the incident happened in public – in front of Eddie Jordan and ex-McLaren chief Ron Dennis.
Horner recalled the incident in an interview with The Telegraph, saying: “She was a guest of Bernie Ecclestone’s in Monaco one year and came down the pit lane.
“I remember [McLaren boss] Ron Dennis was standing next to me and Eddie Jordan was there as well. Anyway, she gave Ron a kiss on the cheek, and she gave Eddie a kiss on the cheek.

“So I thought, ‘OK, I’m on for a kiss on the cheek here!’ And I went to give her one and she shoved her hand out at me!”
A second meeting at a clay pigeon shooting event at Highclere Castle faired only marginally better, with Geri scrutinising Horner’s favouring of then Red Bull driver Sebastien Vettel over his team-mate Mark Webber.
Geri reflected on that day saying: “I still call him out sometimes. As any wife does.”
The pair have one son together named Montague, aged 6, and Geri is often seen by her husband’s side on the F1 circuit.

Geri even comforted Horner after he broke down in tears following Max Verstappen’s championship win last season.
The couple owns two luxury mansions in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire, with the former housing three miniature donkeys, horses and goats in the estate’s stables.
