Mel B's husband "p***es" her off "like no other".
The former Spice Girls star is rumoured to have walked out on Stephen Belafonte after seven years of marriage and has admitted they often have explosive rows which leave her fuming.
19 December 2014
In an interview conducted before her alleged marriage split, she said: "I walked in p***ed off because I had a big row with my husband about stupid stuff. Sometimes he p***es me off like no other but he gets me."
The 39-year-old singer - who has Madison, three with Stephen and Phoenix Chi, 15 and Angel, seven from previous relationships - admits she can be difficult because she has a "massive ego" but she also has a strong sense of self and doesn't expect other people to solve her problems.
She added to Grazia magazine: "I have a massive ego. I always have done, famous or not.
"I don't take life too seriously. I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I'm honest and real. I'm always happy and if I'm not, I fix it immediately.
"I've always believed in myself because how can you love somebody else if you don't love yourself?"
Mel and Stephen are reported to have rowed heavily last week shortly before 'The X Factor' judge was hospitalised with crippling stomach pains on Thursday (11.12.14), causing her to miss an episode of the talent show.
A source said: "Mel’s marriage has reached crisis point - in fact it’s on life support. She has told friends it is over with Stephen.
"It was a very symbolic gesture when she removed her wedding ring before appearing on 'The X Factor' final on Sunday night.
"She knew what she was doing and wanted to send Stephen a clear message about her feelings."
It's not been confirmed whether or not the couple have split permanently but some of the brunette's pals are said to be encouraging her to "take time out" from her husband.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Her stress levels are very high and most of her good friends and colleagues were encouraging her to take time out from Stephen.
"That’s now what she’s doing, but the question is for how long?"
