News: Trouble in paradise? Mel B reportedly walks out of Stephen Belafonte, husband of 7 years

Mel B has reportedly walked out on her husband of seven years, Stephen Belafonte.

According to The Sun, the X Factor judge, 39, packed up and left the home the couple have been sharing in London after their furious arguing became too much to bear.

And now pals are urging the former Spice Girl to formally break away from Stephen, reports the newspaper.

The claims come as Mel has been unveiled as the new cover star for Grazia's Christmas issue, to whom she admitted that she was three hours late for the shoot because she'd had an argument with Stephen, 39.

The magazine quotes her as saying: ‘I walked in pi**ed off because I had a big row with my husband about stupid stuff. Sometimes he pi**es me off like no other, but he gets me.’

The X Factor judge was absent from the judges' table on Saturday's instalment of the show, after being admitted to hospital in agony on Thursday night. However, she returned for the live final on Sunday. 

But fans soon took to social media to question the state of her marriage, as they noticed that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring during the broadcast.

As the programme started on Sunday, Mel B referred to her Saturday absence, saying: 'I really missed being here but thanks to all the doctors and nurses who took care of me and got me here tonight.' 

If this is true, then I'm speechless! Who would treat hot and spicy Mel any how? And her hubby too is so 'cool-looking' that they make such a perfect match!!!

M-a-r-r-i-a-g-e!!!! Eeeshhh....
