Wimbledon 2019: Geri Horner is excited by the tennis as she joins husband Christian at tournament

The Wimbledon tournament is the highlight of the professional tennis circuit, which annually attracts an array of celebrity sports fans through the doors of the All England Club. 

So Geri Horner and Phoebe Waller-Bridge were naturally keen to stand out among their cohorts of the showbiz world, as they were seen putting on vastly dramatic displays while cameras skirted around Centre Court for the fifth day of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Club on Friday. 

The Spice Girl, 46, who was joined by her F1 boss husband Christian, 45, could be seen throwing her head back in OTT laughter and glaring at her spouse, while the Fleabag frontwoman, 33, was giving her a run for her money.  

Dramatic: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 33, put on an animated display on Centre Court as she led the star-studded arrivals on the fifth day of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Friday

Geri looked hilarious throughout her time in the box as she frolicked with her clearly-tickled husband, as she glared at him with pointed fingers, a cheeky laugh and a series of gasps.  

Despite her silly faces, she looked demure in her chic white dress, which had a high-neckline and short sleeves to give her ensemble a glamorous flair, as the pair took selfies with her Ginger Spice-themed phone. 

The Spice Girls star offset her bright ensemble by wearing a dramatic black belt, which helped to cinch her outfit neatly and also highlight her trim figure.

Ginger Spice wore her tresses in soft waves and she wore a natural palette of make-up, including a slick of mascara and nude lipstick, to accentuate her pretty features.  She gave her look a touch of glitter as she accessorised with jewel stud earrings and a gorgeous watch.

Christian put on a dapper display in a grey plaid suit, which he teamed with a crisp white shirt and a dark blue tie, while he had a white pocket-square to complement his look.

His salt-and-pepper locks were brushed into a tousled style, and he looked delighted as he sat next to his wife for the exciting day of tennis ahead.

Phoebe was also on hand to support the tennis tournament, and she exuded elegance in a chic white dress, adorned with vibrant scarlet rose print.

The high-necked dress cinched in at her slender waist before flowing into a chic mid-length skirt, and teasing a glimpse of her lean legs, the dress featured a soaring split, with the look completed with white slingbacks. 

Her raven bob was styled in loose waves parted on the side while her pretty features were enhanced with a radiant palette of make-up. Phoebe is hard at work scripting the much-anticipated Bond 25, which is set for release on 3 April 2020.
