Geri 'Ginger Spice' Horner pays touching tribute to George Michael with new baby's name
Geri Horner has revealed the name of her new baby boy - Montague George Hector Horner
The Mirror reports that the middle name is a tribute to the late music icon, who died at the end of last year. Geri and George had been close friends, and Geri's daughter Bluebell was the goddaughter of Kenny Goss, George's ex-partner.
Geri wrote on Instagram: "Montague George Hector Horner arrived this morning, a beautiful little brother for Bluebell and Olivia."
Following George's tragic death on Christmas Day, Geri paid her respects on Twitter, writing: "So so sad, R.I.P George, a dear friend, the kindest, most generous & talented person. My thoughts are with his family."

A family source said: “Geri wanted George to be a part of Monty’s life, so she felt it only fitting that her newborn have a middle name after the star.”
Montague is her first child with Formula 1 star Christian Horner, who she married in 2015.
