X Factor judge Louis Walsh has insisted Mel B and her husband will patch things up.
The ex-Spice Girl has reportedly split from Stephen Belafonte after a series of rows last weekend – and are even staying in separate countries.
It came after the 39-year-old was hospitalised for a virus and forced by doctors to sit out of Saturday’s X Factor, before removing her wedding ring on return.

And Louis told Goss.ie that despite everything, their relationship is likely to stay strong.
He added: “I sent her a text and I got her a present and that was it. I think she’s going to be fine.
“I think she was burning the candle at both ends. She worked so hard the last few weeks, she was doing photo shoots and everything plus she has three kids.
“I’ve seen her with her kids and she’s a really good mother. I think she worked too hard, everything is just really taking it’s toll.
“I’m sure everything will be fine between her and her husband.”

Recently, Stephen was forced to hit back at fan claims that he was responsible for Mel’s scratched and bruised face on the X Factor.
Meanwhile Louis also told Goss.ie that he is unsure if he’ll be back for another series of the X Factor.
He added: “I’m glad it’s over. I need a rest. It was really good fun but I don’t know if I’ll do another series. Eleven years is a long time. I honestly don’t know.”
