Mel B's husband 'has fight in hotel bar'

Mel B's husband had a fight in the May Fair Hotel on Thursday after rude comments were made about his wife.

According to the News of the World, Stephen Belafonte fought with three men in the hotel's Amba Bar & Grill, resulting in the police and an ambulance arriving.

A witness said: "It just exploded into violence. They were big lads and it all went crazy. Mel B was standing there dumbstruck. They'd all been chilling out in the bar and suddenly everything went mad.

"I think Stephen was provoked and retaliated. He'd been drinking cocktails but I don't think he was drunk. Everyone was in good spirits. Mel was in the lobby outside the bar talking to a friend when the fight broke out. She looked gobsmacked.

"It was all over very quickly - it can't have lasted more than 30 seconds. But it got very violent very quickly. Punches were thrown from both sides and Stephen and this other bloke were rolling around on the floor. They were both big blokes and quite evenly matched."

Hotel staff managed to break the fight up, but one of the men reportedly went to hospital with blood pouring from his head after falling on a coffee table.
