Mel B blanks her mum

As star enjoys Egyptian wedding ex reveals truth about hubby

WITH the SPICE GIRLS she would sing annoyingly sweet ditties about how much she loved Mama.

But now MEL B is a Spite Girl who won't say A WORD to her mum or sister after falling out with the fam.

Both ma ANDREA and sis DANIELLE haven't spoken to Scary for FIVE MONTHS - and they blame B's love-rat hubby STEPHEN BELAFONTE for the feud.

They say Mel has cut them off, claiming: "She is wrapped up in her own little world."

Last night, in an emotional plea, former Emmerdale actress Danielle called me to say: "Mel hasn't spoken to her own mother in months! She has a husband now so she just doesn't find the time.

"He doesn't help. To be honest, I don't think he's a very nice person."

I asked if Belafonte was a domineering character to which she answered: "Yeah. It doesn't help Mel's situation."

Stephen has been at the centre of cheating rumours. In November, his ex told friends he had bedded her behind Mel B's back and begged her to take him back just before his marriage.

Mel and Stephen, both 33, married in June 2007 and renewed their wedding vows in Egypt during a four-day celebration last year.

But Andrea, 52, and Danielle, 28, are gutted at the silent treatment and also devastated at losing contact with Mel's kids Phoenix Chi, 10, and year-old Angel Iris. But despite the ongoing family feud, Mel continues to paint a perfect picture of family life in a variety of interviews in the US.

She told one publication: "I am very happy right now.

"I can't go a day without giving the kids lots of kisses - I terrorise them with kisses." But my revelations shatter Mel's happy family illusions. It's a big blow for her sister Danielle, who used to be so close to the star, who moved back to London recently after her three-year career-push in LA failed.

"It's hard not hearing from her," Danielle admitted to me. "But I'm getting used to it now."

Bizarrely, mum and sis are now supportive of Mel's ex-hubby, JIMMY GULZAR, father to her oldest child.

Andrea said: "He has been a constant in Pheonix's life - he's a really good dad."

Danielle added: "I didn't used to get on with him but Jimmy deserves to be seen in a good light.

"He hasn't spoken out at all in the last eight years and has had a tough time of it."
