Geri Horner 'contributes to family swear jar more than me' says husband Christian Horner

Christian Horner has given an insight into his and Spice Girl wife Geri's home life, admitting the singer contributes to the family swear jar more than he does.

The former competitive racer, 48, lives with Geri, 49, in a huge Oxfordshire mansion which even has a boating lake, when the pair aren't travelling the world attending races.

Their luxurious life may some a world apart from normal folks' but like many families, the glamorous pair have swear jar, with the F1 Red Bull principal joking that his spouse of seven years uses it more than him.

He told The Evening Standard: “My wife is contributing more to the jar than I am!”

Speaking about his swearing, witnessed on Netflix series Drive to Survive, Christian said: “The problem for me is sometimes I’m not aware the cameras are there, but it’s made me realise I do swear quite a lot.”

One thing that is perhaps not quite so relatable was the mode of transport the pair took to watch Sir Paul McCartney's Glastonbury gig, with the pair flying in a helicopter from their country pile.

The couple shared details of their date night at Glastonbury on their social media, posting snaps from the moment their helicopter took off to Paul's historic headline set.

Paul made history by being the oldest performer to ever headline Glastonbury Festival as he performed 38 songs at the age of 80.

In her signature style, Geri rocked a bold all-white outfit to the festival, wearing a high-neck top, trousers, raincoat and biker boots.

Meanwhile Christian opted for a more casual look with blue jeans, a navy jumper and brown lace-up boots.

Geri took to Instagram to share a selfie with her husband posing in front of the helicopter on their way to the festival, she captioned the snap: "Date night to see a legend. @PaulMcCartney [star emoji]"

Fans flooded the comments, commenting on the mode of transport and Geri's bold outfit choice.

One wrote: "Such a Bridget Jones things to do wearing white to a festival [heart eyes emoji] Love ya Geri xxx"

A second penned: "What a cool ride! You two are adorable!"

Another chimed in with: "That's how it's done......if you can do it......do it in style."

"You’re wearing white! Gorgeous!" a fourth wrote.

Geri went on to share a second post of her and her husband smiling in front of the Glastonbury crowd.

She captioned the snap: "@glastofest amazing ! @paulmccartney"

Her followers were quick to suggest that they think the Spice Girls should reunite for next year's festival.

During Sir Paul's set, John Lennon appeared on screen for a digital duet, which Paul thanked The Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson for making technically possible.

Sir Paul was moved by the performance, which he described as "so special" with him going on to say: "I know it's virtual, but there I am singing with John again. We're back together."
