Like her best friend, Robbie Williams, Geri has been seeking refuge in sunny Los Angeles and appears to have found love all at the same time.

If you’ve picked up the tabloids recently, you’re bound to see intimate photographs of Geri and her new boyfriend, Damian Warner who has been described as “some poor little moneyed kid from L.A.”. They’ve been spotted countless time snogging and clowning around together.

Friends of Geri say she is “head over heels in love with him” even though his multimillionaire parents object to the relationship.

The ex-Spice Girl and her fellow, who met as patients at the Arizona Cottonswood de Tuscan rehabilitation clinic where Geri was trying to beat her bulimia problem, angered staff at the clinic with their closeness, described by some as “pretty tasteless and trashy”.

Bosses ordered Damian to leave when they started to upset the other patients and Geri was said to be “outraged.”
