Police called after angry airport man shouts at Mel B's family

A 22-year-old man was arrested at Heathrow after becoming abusive towards Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte while she signed autographs.

Police had to intervene after a man became abusive towards Mel B at Heathrow airport at the weekend. The altercation reportedly occurred as the former Spice Girl signed autographs while waiting to collect her luggage. The 22 year old man got "increasingly agitated" before rowing with a photographer and then Mel B's husband Stephen Belafonte. Airport security intervened but couldn't stop the fracas, and so police were called. It's not clear if the angry man was specifically picking on the Spice Girl, or whether he just happened to get very angry in her close vicinity. A police spokesman told reporters: "The man was arrested for threatening behaviour and taken to a west London police station".

Mel B is in London this week to host the MOBO Awards at Wembley Arena tonight.
