Geri Horner and the Spice Girls became one of the biggest symbols of girl power since they formed in 1994.
The singer hails from Watford in Hertfordshire and even grew up on a council estate and attended Watford Grammar School for Girls.
Before she became the pop icon she is today, she worked as a nightclub dancer in Mallorca, a presenter on the Turkish version of Let's Make A Deal as well as a glamour model.
