It’s Geri and the pacesetter­s...

- By Frances Millar

FORMER Spice Girl Geri Horner rubs satin-clad shoulders with Sir Rod Stewart and other movers and shakers at a gala hosted by Prince Charles.

The singer, 47 – in a white dress and matching bolero jacket – put herself centre-stage as she mingled with famous friends including Rod Stewart and Holly Willoughby.

In one photo posted to Instagram by seemingly star-struck Geri, she is about to be hugged by Loose Women presenter Penny Lancaster, 48 – Sir Rod’s wife.

To their left are Ronnie Wood’s theatre producer wife Sally, 42, and

This Morning star Holly Willoughby, 39 – who wore a £2,050 pink and black Alex Perry dress.

Holly stands beside her TV producer husband Dan Baldwin, 45, and Geri’s husband Christian Horner at Kensington Palace.

Geri, 47, also shared a clip of a merry-looking Sir Rod, boogieing with Christian, 46, who is principal of the Red Bull F1 team.

Sir Rod, 75, pretended to kiss Christian while clicking his fingers to Dance Dance Dance – the 1977 hit by

Chic, who were playing a live set with their founder Niles Rodgers.

Geri captioned the funny footage: “Do ya think I’m sexy?.

Sir Rod’s movin’ and groovin’ came just a month after his knee replacemen­t op. But he wasn’t the only star making sure Charles’s annual fundraiser for the Prince’s Trust went with a swing.

Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman and TV comedian Rob Brydon compered the black-tie event, also attended by astronaut Major Tim Peake. It raised £900,000 for disadvanta­ged young people.
