      She gave her 72,000 Instagram followers a tantalising insight into the occasion.
      And Anouska’s friend Molly-Mae was equally enthusiastic about it all.
      The ex-Love Island star and fiancee of Tyson Fury’s half-brother Tommy shared shots from what she called the “special day”.
      Molly-Mae posted a clip of singer Jade Leigh Parr performing and added the words: “Gorgeous Gorgeous vibes… Hurry along little baby, you’ve no idea of the life you’re about to have.”

      Anouska, 31, and 28-year-old Luke also posed for beaming pics with their two kids – son Reign, four and daughter Storie, who will be two in May.
      On the long menu, next to an exotic list of cocktails, were some flamboyant versions of familiar favourites.
      These included lemon butter and sea salt edamame, guacamole with home-made nachos, prawns, fondue and yellowfin tuna sashimi ribbons.
      And arguably even more plush – beef tataki, seared beef with truffle chilli dressing, paprika-dusted calamari and habanero matchstick chicken.

      But although Anouska has more than 72,000 followers on Instagram, she is regarded as more private than many WAGs.

      She does, however, post holiday snaps as well as marking major family events, such as announcing the birth of Storie two years ago.
      And she is known too for owning accessories brand Treats Studios.
      The baby shower came after Shaw had a mixed time in United’s 2-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
      The late smash-and-grab victory, earned by substitute Scott McTominay, lifted the Red Devils to fifth.
      But England ace Shaw went off at half-time, albeit manager Erik ten Hag calling it a “precaution”.
      The Dutchman added: “He had some complaints and we can’t take any risks with him because he’s had many injuries in the past.”

      City progressed 1-0 thanks to Laia Aleixandri’s goal but it was a celebrity fan who caught the eye during the match.
      Cameras picked out Scott’s girlfriend and singer Glynne in the stands at Meadow Park.
      As she was shown on screen, Scott could be heard laughing nervously as she explained the match could go to penalties if it remained level.
      She continued by referencing one of Glynne’s songs, saying: “Jess Glynne right there, there’s no place she’d rather be.”

      The pun, which was a nod to Glynne and Clean Bandit’s 2013 single Rather Be, was met with more laughter from Scott and the pundits.

      Scott reposted the video, adding: “You lot are killing me with these, going to go crawl under a rock now.”

      Alex Scott and Jess Glynne reportedly began dating in the summer.
      Initially, they kept their romance private – enjoying secret dates, away from scrutiny.
      However, they have since confirmed their romance in public.
      It is understood they began a courtship before and after the Women’s World Cup which ran from July to August.
      Right before Scott took on her presenting duties at the Women’s World Cup, the pair enjoyed a pub lunch together in North West London.
      That same month, in August, the famous two both attended a Coco Der Mer party.
      Work commitments meant Alex and Jess were a ‘slow burn’. Their romance was formed organically over time.
      Just a month after they were pictured sitting next to each other at the 2023 Attitude Awards at the Roundhouse in Camden we had confirmation.
      Photographers pictured them walking arm-in-arm with each other in London.

      Alongside the snap, Scott joked: “A new presenter for today’s FA Cup game.”
      The couple, who enjoyed a loved-up holiday in Mexico last month, are understood to have been dating since last summer.

      Their relationship, which was described as a “slow-burn”, began around the time of the Women’s World Cup between July and August
      Scott and Glynne were later spotted at multiple events and parties, having previously sat side-by-side at Wimbledon.
      After keeping their relationship private and out of the public eye, their romance was confirmed in November after they were snapped walking arm-in-arm and sharing a kiss.

      It featured a video of her playing football with her kids, Cristiano Jr, Mateo, Eva, Alana and Bela.
      Georgina lined up a penalty kick in front of an open-goal, which ricocheted off the cross bar.
      The shot had echoes of Diana Ross’ infamous penalty at the opening of the USA World Cup in 1994.
      Ross took the penalty while singing her hit “I’m Coming Out” and spooned the shot closer to the corner flag than the actual goal.

      Nonetheless, the frame of the goal was ripped in two for Diana to run through as if the power of her shot had broke the net.
      Also among Georgina’s Instagram upload were shots of her family enjoying Ronaldo’s game against Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup final.
      The opening to the match was almost as bizarre as Diana Ross’ penalty, with WWE’s the Undertaker making a pre-match appearance.
      The wrestler, 60, donned his full WWE garb and walked onto the pitch to present the trophy before the game, set to his funereal theme tune.

      Ronaldo was seen laughing at the strangeness of the situation but his night soon became one to forget as his side lost 2-0.

      He also reacted furiously to chants of “Messi” during the game and pointed to the ground while appearing to say “I am here, Messi is not.”
      Nonetheless, the night looked to be a good day out for the family judging by Georgina’s Instagram.

      Inside Geri and Christian Horner’s rollercoaster love story… from controversial engagement to £80k ring & baby struggles

      by

      THEIR charmed country life has led to nearly a decade of apparent marital bliss.But Geri Horner was said to be “too upset” to talk to “anyone” this week after her F1 boss husband Christian was hit by allegations of “inappropriate behaviour”.

      First introduced to each other by Bernie Ecclestone 15 years ago, the couple are worth an incredible £440million and have piled their fortune into two country manors – including 14 stables for their horses.
      The former Spice Girl, who previously sweared off marriage, was steered down the aisle by the Red Bull Racing chief, who proposed following a whirlwind romance – despite having to Google her before their first date.
      Their engagement hit an early road bump as Christian’s “devastated” parents refused to attend their wedding in 2015 after he moved on swiftly from ex Beverley Allen, whom he was with for 14 years.
      Having put that crisis behind them, he will be hoping to weather another storm as he prepares for a ‘D-Day’ showdown with a lawyer tomorrow.

      The 50-year-old is accused of “controlling behaviour” with a female work colleague, amid claims he could be gone by “next week” after “losing support” from the Red Bull team.
      Sources say the investigation is set to centre on the employee’s concerns about Horner’s strict work regime and does not relate to any sexual impropriety.
      The news has reportedly sent Geri, who is often seen cheering on her husband’s championship-winning team at Grand Prixs, into “full lockdown”.
      But a source told the Mail: “She will stand by him and be at his side just as much as she always has been. She never misses a race and that will not change.”

      Whirlwind romance
      Geri first met Christian through her F1 boss pal Bernie Ecclestone after he invited her to the Monaco Grand Prix in 2009.
      Christian told the Telegraph: “(Geri) was a guest of (former CEO of the Formula One Group) Bernie Ecclestone’s in Monaco one year and came down the pit lane.
      Geri Horner transforms into White Spice as she ditches colourful clothes in favour of ‘ladylike’ white outfits
      “I remember (McLaren boss) Ron Dennis was standing next to me and Eddie Jordan was there as well.
      “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.”
      At the time, Christian was with his former pub landlady partner Beverley Allen, and was stepdad to her two children, Kieron, 35, and Liam, 31.
      The couple had dreamed of having a child of their own and in October 2013, Beverley gave birth to a daughter, Olivia.
      Sadly, six months after the birth, the couple split and by March 2014, Christian had moved on with Geri.
      I didn’t marry Geri because she’s a Spice Girl. I married her because I fell in love with herChristian
      Remarkably, it later emerged that the racing fanatic had never even heard of one of the Spice Girls’ biggest hits before their first date, according to the Mirror.
      A source told the newspaper: “Before they went on their first date, Christian googled Geri – and found a video of her doing the song.
      “Geri found it hilarious that he had to research her beforehand and the song has become a running joke.”
      Christian later said: “I didn’t marry Geri because she’s a Spice Girl. I married her because I fell in love with her.”
      In October 2014, the new couple announced their engagement in The Times newspaper. Christian proposed with an elegant diamond engagement ring thought to be worth almost £80,000.
      Christian broke up with Beverley Allen shortly before moving on with Geri

      Geri said her mother’s divorce had put her off getting married, but that everything had changed after she met Christian.
      She explained: “The thing is my mother, she got divorced so it kind of put me off a bit if I’m honest and I hadn’t met anyone that I felt it was right (with) really.
      “And when I met Christian, I automatically knew, I did, I actually said to my friend, ‘I think I’ve met the man I want to marry’.
      They tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Woburn, Bedfordshire, in May 2015, with celebrity guests including fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Amanda Holden and Myleene Klass.
      Geri wore a dress by British designer Phillipa Lepley and belted out a solo performance of Wannabe in a cheeky nod to their first date at a reception on the grounds of Woburn Abbey after the wedding.

      Geri later told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby that her wedding day was the “happiest day of my life”.
      However, it wasn’t as happy an occasion for Christian’s parents, who failed to attend.
      After the engagement was announced, one of his devastated relatives told the Sunday Mirror: “You can say that his parents are absolutely devastated. We won’t be going to the wedding.
      “There is a lot more to this story than people know about – to do with his ex-partner.”
      However, Christian and Geri, who has a daughter called Bluebell Madonna from a previous relationship, eventually managed to patch things up with his parents and Beverley.
      Christian told the Telegraph: “I have a great relationship with Beverley and Beverley gets on with Geri.
      “It’s totally harmonious.”
      I’d got to thinking I have a child, my husband has a daughter, and accepting this is our lot. Then Monty came naturallyGeri Horner
      Geri and Christian also went through the emotional rollercoaster of IVF treatment before she finally gave birth to their son, Monty, naturally in January 2017.
      She told Red magazine: “I’d tried an assisted route and it didn’t work. 
      “I feel for any woman that has that natural biological longing, it’s tough. 
      “I’d got to thinking I have a child, my husband has a daughter, and accepting this is our lot. Then Monty came naturally.”
      The Spice Girl later admitted that Monty had picked up some of her rebellious traits.
      That same year, she told Hello!: “He’s a pretty chilled baby for the most part, which he gets more from Christian, but then we’ll encounter a bit of protest and I think, ‘Ah, there’s the Halliwell!’.”
      Country life
      In the decade since their marriage, Geri and Christian appear to have blended seamlessly into each others’ lives.
      The former pop star is an ever-present fixture at F1 races, while Christian looks every bit the English gentleman in Instagram posts from their Cotswold bolthole.

      Geri can often be found caring for the animals on their two estates, which are home to horses, chickens, donkeys and goats.
      The couple’s main base is their lavish Grade-II listed mansion in Marston St Lawrence, near Banbury, Oxfordshire.
      The manor house boasts a sprawling garden, a boating lake and a tennis court.

      Haaland, 23, wore a matching cream tracksuit for what appeared to be a causal day for the couple.
      Meanwhile, Johansen, 19, opted to wear a simple pair of blue denim jeans and a black top – a look she completed with some black and white Air Jordan 1s.
      Last season’s top goalscorer in the Premier League was all smiles as his long blonde locks swayed in the wind as to strode into the Alderley Edge station to pay.
      Haaland and Johansen would have paid a pretty penny to fill up the £300,000 motor’s 90-litre petrol tank.

      The average cost of petrol in Cheshire is £1.34p per litre – meaning they would’ve paid close to £120 for a full tank of fuel.
      Haaland was spotted with his other half just two days after making his first start following a stint on the sidelines due to injury.
      The former Borussia Dortmund man missed ten matches from mid-December until the end of January due to a stress reaction in one of the bones in his feet.
      He made a cameo appearance in City’s 3-1 win over Burnley last Wednesday.

      Haaland has been linked with a shock move to Real Madrid in recent weeks, a notion manager Guardiola has shot down.

      “If someone wants Erling, it’s easy. Call Man City and ask. It’s what we do when we want to sign someone.
      “It’s not more complicated than that.”
      Manchester City will be back in action early on Saturday afternoon, welcoming Everton to the Etihad.

      Geri Horner facing ‘ultimate Catch-22’ over husband Christian after piling their £440m fortune into Downton dream

      by

      GERI Horner’s seemingly perfect life as a horsey country mum could come crashing down if her F1 boss husband Christian is found to have acted “inappropriately” towards a female colleague.And a public relations guru has warned the former Spice Girl to think carefully before adopting the approach of former bandmate Victoria Beckham by putting on a show of marital unity.

      The once cheeky Geri, who grew up on a council estate in Watford, famously wore a revealing Union Jack dress at the Brit Awards and patted King Charles’s bum at a Royal Variety performance in 1997.
      But these days the 51-year-old has transformed her image, bedding down with the Cotswold set, wearing only white and reportedly hoping that the monarch will reward her with a CBE for her work promoting literacy.
      An honour might be under threat if the allegations against Red Bull Racing boss Christian, who has been accused of “controlling behaviour” with a female work colleague, prove to be founded.
      Sources say the investigation is set to centre on the employee’s concerns about Horner’s strict work regime and does not relate to any sexual impropriety.

      The Spice Girl is said to be “too upset” to talk to “anyone” as her husband, 50, gears up for a D-Day grilling over the claims on Friday.
      But the Daily Mail reports that she will follow in the footsteps of bandmate Victoria, who publicly stood by husband David during allegations of an affair in 2004.
      A source told the paper: “She will stand by him and be at his side just as much as she always has been. She never misses a race and that will not change.”
      However, Geri, who now uses the surname Halliwell-Horner, should be cautious about following Posh Spice’s lead, says PR boss Jack Izzard, CEO of Rhizome Media.

      He tells The Sun: “If they’re confident that the allegations are baseless and that the independent investigation will vindicate Mr Horner, they could put on a public show of marital unity like Geri’s fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham did when it emerged her husband David had been having an affair.
      “But this is risky. Allegations of inappropriate behaviour by a man in a position of power can sometimes have a toxic tinge far beyond that of an extra-marital affair.”

      In an ultimate PR Catch-22, hiding from the crisis might not be a good idea, either.
      Geri, who married Christian in 2015 after a whirlwind romance, is devoted to her husband – so much so that the password for the Wi-Fi at their home was once reportedly “Wonderful Husband.”

      They have one son together, seven-year-old Monty, and she has previously insisted they will never get divorced.
      By not supporting Christian, she could give the impression that all is not well in the Halliwell-Horner household.
      Jack cautions: “Equally, going into lockdown could be interpreted as a sign of a fracture in the couple’s relationship and fuel speculation that there’s no smoke without fire.”   
      Of course, that would be unfair on Geri, for whom the news of an investigation into Christian’s workplace behaviour is said to have come out of the blue.
      Christian vehemently denies any wrongdoing and will be defending himself at the internal hearing on Friday, which is said to be at Red Bull’s headquarters in Milton Keynes.
      Geri’s husband has been the head of Red Bull’s Formula One race team since it launched in 2005.
      He has brought remarkable success, including seven championship crowns for its drivers and six constructors titles.
      But earlier this week the Austrian firm revealed it was investigating allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” by Christian.
      It issued a statement, saying: “After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation. The company takes these matters extremely seriously.”

      Up until now, the main complaint against Christian has been from his F1 rivals, which appeared to be sour grapes over his success.
      He is a workaholic who never misses a race and admits to being driven by a need to win.
      Jack comments: “There’s a brutal irony here. The reputation of a woman whose figure-hugging Union Jack dress once made her the avatar of both Girl Power and Cool Britannia now hangs in the balance, not because of something she has done, but because of the allegations swirling around her husband.”
      Downton dream

      Geri and Christian’s romance was in some ways to the manor born.
      Their second-ever meeting was at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, which is the setting for the beloved upstairs downstairs TV drama Downton Abbey.
      They met at a clay pigeon shoot and realised they had a passion for country pursuits.
      Since becoming Mrs Halliwell-Horner, Geri certainly seems to have moved closer to a circle more familiar to her privately-educated husband.
      Geri, whose mum was a cleaner, these days counts Baroness Bamford, who lives nearby on a 1500-acre estate in the Cotswolds, among her pals – along with top members of the Royal Family.
      In November 2022 the Queen Consort Camilla gave Geri a warm hug at a reception at Buckingham Palace in London.
      She was also embraced by Prince William when she appeared with him at an event for his homeless charity Homewards.
      And shortly after the King’s coronation last year, Geri gave Charles a peck on the cheek at a Prince’s Trust event.

      The one constant at all these events has been the colour of Geri’s dress. Even when she is out riding her horses at the couple’s Oxfordshire estate, white is preferred.
      She explained her stylistic passion to The Sun, saying: “Everything becomes really simple. It’s like wearing a school uniform as an adult.
      “It matches with everything and I literally don’t have to think in the mornings. It kind of looks like you’ve made an effort when you haven’t.”
      And if you were to look at the singer-turned-children author’s Instagram page, you would think her life was perfect bliss.
      A week ago she was celebrating her horse Look at Mee’s first race; five weeks back Christian was awarded a CBE and before Christmas she held a star-studded 50th birthday party for her husband.
      The guests included Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart and Gary Barlow.
      When it was Geri’s own 50th in 2022, David Walliams, Holly Willoughby, Rylan, Chris Evans, Myleene Klass and Poppy Delevingne joined in the celebrations.

      With the couple worth a reported £440million they can certainly afford to splash out on extravagant parties.
      They recently built 14 stables for their horses, which will take part in races. Their home in Banbury has donkeys, goats, ducks and she recently graced the cover of upmarket Country & Town House magazine.
      Geri’s daughter Bluebell, 17, and Christian’s daughter Olivia, ten – both from previous relationships – also share the plush mansion.
      She loves to bake with the kids and cook for her husband, when he’s not away at Grand Prix races.
      On Friday Christian will be the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons.
      If he comes out with his good reputation in-tact, there will be no reason why Geri’s high life among the upper classes can’t go on.

      But if not, the glamorous invitations for the power couple are sure to dry up.
      Jack concludes: “Ultimately the findings of the investigation will determine whether this is just engine trouble or a high-speed crash for F1’s golden couple.”
