Amazing! Geri Horner has now revealed that she worked with some of the Peaky Blinders team to shoot her new children’s series Rainbow Woman
For the first episode, Geri was worlds away from her usual looks as she donned an illustrious red gown and wig to transform into Queen Elizabeth I.
Talking about the scenes, she divulged: ‘The wonderful thing about this was, do you like Peaky Blinders? I’m a massive fan. The DP of that, I worked with him to shoot that. So it’s beautifully shot.
‘Then I wrote it, I’ve always loved acting a little bit, so to put that in it’s almost like a creative playground. Then Richard Curtis, I wrote it and said: “Could you have a little look?” He gave me script notes!’
Talking about her series, Geri said: ‘The whole thing was like an unexpected venture. I like lots of things, I like music, I like storytelling, I’m curious.’

Speaking about her idea behind portraying Queen Elizabeth I, she said: ‘Queen Elizabeth was a rainbow woman, she was adventurous, she was brave, she put duty first.
‘There was a painting I discovered called the rainbow, her portrait, showing her there, showing how she had to be stoic and strong through tough time.’
Geri said that her new YouTube series is a ‘love letter’ to the fans and shows everything that she adores in her life.
