Billionaire Dickie Lugner, who paid Geri Halliwell £500,000 to be his date for Thursday's Opera Ball, now isn't sure that he got his money's worth.
Lugner pays a celebrity to be his date for the ball in Vienna, Austria every year. However, his experience with Geri may lead to him reconsidering any plans to carry on the tradition.
He told The Mirror, "She insisted on going to the toilet alone but got lost in the opera house. We were due to give an interview but we couldn't find her."
The newspaper also reports that Geri was unimpressed when she spotted photographers at the event, shouting, "Get them out of here!"
