Before making it big, Geri worked in various odd jobs to make ends meet. She worked as a cleaner, barmaid, and even a topless model. She also worked as a presenter of a Turkish game show.
Geri got her big break when she answered an ad in the paper for an all-girl band.

Their hits include Wannabe, Say You'll Be There, and 2 Become 1. Geri was the unofficial leader of the group and was known as Ginger Spice with her sexy costumes and loud behaviour.
Riding the wave of popularity, Geri along with the other members of Spice Girls appeared in the movie Spice World in 1997. It included the hit tracks Spice Up Your Life, Too Much and Stop.
