It has been reported that Mel B is set to offer her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte £5 million and a private island in a divorce settlement.
According to the Daily Star, the Spice Girl has told her lawyers Stephen can receive the money and the hideaway in Virginia if he agrees to the gagging order that comes with the settlement.
A source told the paper , “Mel wants it done and dusted as quickly as possible to prevent any more harm being done to her kids.
“He wanted double that but he’ll take what’s being offered because if he gets into a fight with her then her pockets are much deeper than his.”

Mel B’s decision to begin divorce proceedings last month, just weeks before their ten year anniversary, could save the former Spice Girl millions.
Under Californian law, she could have been forced to support the 41-year-old indefinitely had their marriage spanned a decade.
But now it’s likely the court will set the duration of support at half the marriage’s length.
