'A distressing time' for the Horner family

An anonymous source speaking to the tabloid magazine revealed that it had also been a trying time for the Horner family at home too, and admitted that Geri would have struggled to get by without the help of her close friend.

“Geri has jokingly referred to Vic as her ‘Crisis PR guru'," the source supposedly revealed to Closer.

“Victoria has been a tower of strength and support to Geri over the last couple of months, which have been some of the worst of her life.

“If anyone knows what it’s like to have their marriage thrust into the spotlight at the hands of a scandal, and to publicly and privately navigate through such a turbulent time, it’s Victoria.

"She’s been a rock to Geri, helping to guide and advise her through it all, having been there herself.

“While this nightmare is by no means over, she’s intent on continuing to draw on her inner strength and lean on her support network while ensuring her marriage not only survives, but becomes even stronger.”
