A man has been bailed after pop star and former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and her husband were abused at Heathrow.

It is claimed a man shouted threats at Mel B’s husband, Stephen Belafonte, after they arrived at the airport on Sunday evening.

According to reports the singer hid behind luggage while the abuse was being shouted.

She had been returning from Los Angeles to present the Music Of Black Origin (MOBO) awards at Wembly Arena today.

A police spokesman confirmed a 22-year-old was arrested on suspicion of threatening behaviour and had been bailed to return to a west London police station in December.
