Geri Horner has revealed the name of her new baby boy, and it's thought to be a lovely tribute to George Michael.

"Montague George Hector Horner arrived this morning, a beautiful little brother for Bluebell and Olivia," Geri wrote on an adorable black-and-white baby photo on Instagram.

The Mirror reports that the middle name is a nod to the late music icon, with whom she was close friends - with Geri's daughter Bluebell the goddaughter of Kenny Goss, George's ex-partner.

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."

Montague is her first child with Formula 1 star Christian Horner, who she married in 2015.

"I'm delighted they are both happy and the baby is fine. Montague is a good English name but we have none of those names in the family, they're all new ones," commented Christian's uncle Geoffrey Kenyon May.

"I'd have thought he would have kept one of the family names."

Awkward.

In a delightful coincidence, Montague was born on the same day as Emma Bunton turned 41, and she was ecstatic to have a new birthday twin.

Probably happier than she was with reports that the Spice Girls reunion, tentatively titled GEM, has apparently been shelved for now.

It's said that Geri has pulled out again as they can't seem to get her, Emma and Mel B together long enough to go into a studio. We have a feeling that won't be changing now Montague has arrived.
