Mel B is one tough cookie – but it's no surprise the star was left upset after a man reportedly threatened to kill her husband at a UK airport.

The drama unfolded shortly after the couple and Mel’s 17-month-old daughter Angel touched down at Heathrow's Terminal 3.

A witness claims a man started hurling abuse at the former Spice Girl and shouted at Mel's husband, Stephen Belafonte: "I'll get a knife and stab you."

The witness told Metro: "There was a lot of pushing and shoving and she was in tears."

The police confirmed a 22-year-old man was arrested for threatening behaviour.

A spokesperson for Mel told the Daily Mail that the singer is recovering from the shock. "It was quite a scary situation,” she said, “but Mel and Stephen and the baby are fine."

Mel is in the UK to co-present the Mobo Awards tomorrow night at Wembley Arena.
