In an episode of her YouTube series, Rainbow Woman – which was filmed before new lockdown restrictions were put in place in the capital – Geri said meeting with the NHS workers reminded her of ‘the goodness of humanity’.
She said: ‘Today is not about me, today is about some amazing people that deserve appreciation, kindness and love.
‘In life, we can all get a little bit complacent, take things for granted … we can lose touch with what’s real, what’s important.

‘I’m actually reminded of the goodness of humanity, that actually human beings are good people. They really are. When you meet someone that has been really kind, you think, “oh god there’s me moaning about my own stuff”.
‘For this moment, it puts it all into perspective. They go above and beyond every day, they just do. So today is about acknowledging that.’
Geri thoughtfully added: ‘In life, we can all get a little bit complacent, take things for granted… we can lose touch with what’s real, what’s important.’
The Spice Girl also offered a glimpse of Rainbow Woman through a teaser video she shared with fans, revealing episodes will be released on her YouTube every Sunday.
