The former Spice Girl revealed learning of the 53-year-old’s passing was “hideous... just terrible”.

Geri, 45, said: “George had bought clothes for Bluey [her daughter Bluebell] and he always sent my mother a fantastic food hamper. He was so kind.

“And then... it was a day where everything changed.

“I think about him a lot, as anyone would who has lost a close friend,”
