Geri Horner threw celeb-packed 50th birthday bash – but one Spice Girl did not attend
GERI Horner threw a £400,000 celeb-packed party for her 50th birthday — but there was no sign of Mel B.
The Spice Girl hosted the bash on Saturday night for 120 people in a converted barn at the sprawling Oxfordshire home she shares with her husband, Red Bull F1 team boss Christian Horner, 48.
Guests included David and Victoria Beckham, Rylan Clark, Penny Lancaster, David Walliams, Holly Willoughby and her former bandmates Mel C and Emma Bunton.
But Mel B, who recently became engaged to fiancé Rory McPhee, was not in attendance.
Dame Shirley Bassey sang Happy Birthday before a performance by Alexandra Burke.
Guests were treated to free-flowing champagne by black tie-dressed staff all night.

Geri, 50 in August, had planned the do for September but delayed it out of respect after the death of the Queen.
A source said: “It was the sort of party where the second you walk in you know no expense has been spared.
“Geri knows how to party so for her 50th she was determined to pull out all the stops.
“By the end of the night it’s safe to say everyone was well oiled.”
