Geri Horner has denied claims she slept with her Spice Girls bandmate Mel B.
The 'Wannabe' hitmaker has broken her silence a week after Mel claimed she had "one-time" fling with Geri 20 years ago, which she insisted will never "happen again".
A statement released through Geri's representative said: "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.
