      Geri Halliwell & Christian Horner ‘in talks’ to make fly-on-the-wall Netflix doc as couple move on from ‘sext’ storm

      by

      CHRISTIAN Horner and Geri Halliwell are “in talks” to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary after the racing boss’ “sexting” saga, a source claimed.The rumoured opportunity arose after a streaming company – that works with Netflix – reached out to the couple.The couple could be in talks to have their own behind-the-scenes documentaryCredit: InstagramThe pair have put on a united front amid the scandalCredit: GettyThe F1 racing boss and his Spice Girl wife kissed and hugged before the Bahrain Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.Credit: PAHorner and Halliwell – who already featured in Netflix’s Drive to Survive – are said to want to put the recent storm behind them.F1 chief Horner, 50, was cleared of misconduct towards a female colleague – allegations he had always denied – by an internal probe in February.A source told the Mirror: “The idea that has been pitched is a really personal documentary, capturing Geri and Christian at home.”Following the recent speculation about their relationship, there would be a huge amount of interest in seeing them together away from the race track and how they interact with their friends and family.”They added how Geri hailed the Beckhams’ Netflix documentary and was inspired by how behind the scenes footage helped re-mould their image in the public eye.But, if the Horner family give the green light, it could spark a “bidding war” over which streaming service produces it.Horner was cleared of misconduct towards a female colleague by an internal probe.His unnamed female accuser has lodged an appeal – which is said to be ongoing – after her complaints were dismissed and is said to be “determined for the truth to come out”.Most read in MotorsportShe is set to be grilled again by investigators and her evidence could also see the racing boss star quizzed again too.Christian Horner should QUIT Red Bull after sexting scandal – this is the Max Verstappen show now, ex-F1 star saysAn F1 source said: “No one wants this to drag on any longer than it needs to.”Red Bull has made it clear that once the appeal is over, they are willing to be fully transparent.“They don’t want to do anything that compromises the process but when it’s done, the gloves are off.”Bosses remain unlikely to publish the full report into the scandal, however, as both sides have signed confidentiality agreements.The woman has separately lodged a complaint against Horner with the sport’s ruling body, the FIA.But five races into the 2024 season and the outwardly business-as-usual Horner appears to have weathered the storm.Ex-F1 chief Ecclestone, who is one of the sport’s most iconic and long-standing figures, told the Mail: “It’s peace in our time.”And Christian informs me everything’s fantastic with Geri.”Ecclestone was best man at Horner and Halliwell’s wedding nine years ago and brought the former racing driver into the sport to head up the new Red Bull team in 2005.He revealed: “Max (Verstappen) seems likely to stay, and it’s like all wars in so much as people get over things and move on… after not too long everyone forgets.”However, Ecclestone’s support for Horner keeping his £8million-a-year role seemed to waver in February, when Horner was engulfed in the first stage of the scandal.SCANDAL… LAP BY LAP

I had done that though before I joined Wrexham as I’m a big film buff. You watch Deadpool, these hugely popular films, but you don’t see him as this Hollywood superstar. “There’s been a few famous faces I’ve met.

      Reynolds and his crew watched on as the Welsh side notched their 23rd win of the season against Crawley Town.
      He looked enamoured as the game played on behind him while surrounding by various pieces of Hollywood machinery.

      Christian Horner sext scandal WILL be covered on Netflix’s Drive to Survive – and what Geri’s husband said to show chief

      by

      CHRISTIAN Horner’s sexting scandal will be covered in the next season of the hit Netflix show Drive to Survive. Show chief James Gay-Rees has revealed his team plans to include the saga that rocked F1 in the documentary’s seventh season.Christian Horner will see his scandal feature in Drive to SurviveCredit: GettyIt will be new agony for him and wife Geri HalliwellCredit: PAHorner and his driver Max Verstappen have already won two races in 2024Credit: GettyIt will potentially reopen wounds for Horner and his wife Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell as they attempt to move on from the drama.Horner has previously raged against the scrutiny over the scandal – but now it will be the focus of the Netflix show watched by millions. Brit filmmaker Gay-Rees revealed he has spoken to the Red Bull chief since the scandal broke before the start of the F1 season.He claims the 50-year-old ex-racing driver told him: “This is all your fault.”Horner appears to have been referencing the new focus Drive to Survive has put on F1 – especially drama and scandal behind the scenes of the Grand Prix circus. Speaking of the scandal, Mr Gay-Rees said: “It will have to be referenced in some capacity, yeah.””And they will all want it to be told in a particular way, so it’s about treading that line to keep everybody happy, and to keep Netflix happy, and us – so we can sleep at night with the decisions we’ve made,” he told The Telegraph.Horner was cleared of misconduct by a Red Bull investigation back in February. Most read in MotorsportBut the scandal was taken to a new level when sexually suggestive texts appearing to be sent by Horner were leaked.Horner’s accuser – a female colleague – has since been suspended by Red Bull and has appealed the decision.‘We’re always grateful’, says Christian Horner as he hails wife Geri Halliwell in Mother’s Day post amid sexting scandalAnd she reportedly plans to take her case to an employment tribunal as she wants to return to work for the championship-winning team.Mr Gay-Rees said: “You have to have balance. I think Horner is looking ok for the time being, but it doesn’t feel like it’s done yet. “It will all depend on how it plays out.” ‘I don’t know what he got up to – and I genuinely don’t have an opinion on it, but he’s been through it and you wouldn’t wish that on anybody.”Horner’s accuser is reportedly “in it for the long haul” as she continues to fight against the decision to clear her boss, reports The Independent. A source said: “She remains resolute and is in it for the long haul. “She’s holding her council for now and wants the matter dealt with privately.”Horner has always denied any wrongdoing over the allegations and blasted the infamous text leak as “anonymous speculation”. He has demanded an end to the drama which he described as a “very trying period” for his family.His wife Geri has stood by him – appearing at his side at the races in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, both won by Red Bull.Red Bull are first in both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships after a dominant start to the season.Horner’s star driver Max Verstappen will be looking for his fourth world championship in a row – and won the first two races.He was only undone in Australia when his brakes caught fire after he lost first place to Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz.Verstappen however remains the hot favourite for the title.And the Dutchman, 26, has been one of the most vocal critics of Drive to Survive. He had previously boycotted the show, refusing any interviews – claiming it had faked storylines and made the drama “over the top”. Speaking earlier this year, he said: “You don’t see a lot of me on Drive to Survive, which is why I don’t like doing it. “You probably don’t get the right side of me because it is just an interview, I am just sitting down in a dark room and I hate that. “They put a mic in front of you and you have to talk about the season which… just have a casual interaction, have fun.”READ MORE SUN STORIESHe added: “Also, some things are just private, right?
