Geri Horner denies Mel B's claims that they slept together

Geri Horner has slammed claims she enjoyed a year-long relationship with Mel B, calling reports "very hurtful".

Last night, the Daily Mail claimed the pair had been lovers for a year and it was also said the Spice Girls' reunion tour was in jeopardy as Geri is angry with Mel.

But Geri has now insisted the tour will go ahead - although she hit out at reports of a fling with her bandmate.

The singer's rep said in a statement: "It has been very disappointing to read about all these rumours again, especially on Mother's Day of all days.

"Geri is really grateful for your support and loyalty for so many years.

"She loves the Spice Girls: Emma, Melanie, Melanie and Victoria.

"She would like you to know that what has been reported recently is simply not true and has been very hurtful to her family.

"Moving forward, Geri can't wait to see the girls and all the fans on the tour, have an amazing time with everyone, and make some new memories."
