Geri Halliwell has been pictured in Bahrain for the first time, after jetting over from the UK to join her under-fire husband Christian Horner in the wake of the Red Bull chief's ongoing leaked text message scandal.

Red Bull confirmed on Saturday, that Halliwell will be on the grid during the Bahrain Grand Prix in a show of solidarity with Horner, after a tranche of WhatsApp messages and photographs he allegedly, sent to a female employee were leaked.

Horner, who cut a lonely figure as he emerged at the Bahrain International Circuit on Saturday morning, was cleared of 'coercive behavior towards a female colleague' by Red Bull ahead of the 2024 season curtain-raiser. Red Bull launched an internal investigation into the allegations on February 5.

The flirtatious messages allegedly exchanged between Horner and the female complainant were leaked to 149 F1 figures, while Halliwell was on the flight to see her husband ahead of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.

Halliwell, who married the Red Bull team principal in 2015, reportedly went 'into meltdown' when she touched down in the Gulf state on a private jet on Thursday and discovered, the bombshell messages had been plastered all over social media.
