Mel B plans to ceremonially burn or hurl into the ocean a removed tattoo tribute to ex Stephen Belafonte she had sliced off her ribcage.

Well this is utterly rank – Mel B has kept her chunk of tattooed flesh and plans on burning it to rid herself of her ex Stephen Belafonte for good.

Burning his underwear or cutting up his suits might have sufficed, but no. Mel B is actually incinerating her own skin to rid herself of her ex.

Burning your own ruddy flesh?! For crying out loud Mel B.

The former Spice Girl, who’s been known for being a bit dramatic in the past, recently had a chunk of her flesh removed because it contained a tattoo of her ex’s name.




She’s now decided she wants a ceremonial burning so that it’ll be gone forever.

What’s even more gross than that, she’s apparently kept this bit of dead skin for the last week, having revealed the surgery on 13 December. This gets weirder and weirder.

There’s a chance she might not burn it though, she might instead sail out to see and lob it in the ocean for the fish to feast on. Wowsa. Talk about washing that man right out of her hair.

The original tattoo read: ‘Stephen, till death do us part you own my heart’, but that was before Mel had the Stephen bit cut out.

Speaking to Mail Online, she revealed: ‘I wanted the tattoo removed to help close the final chapter on a toxic relationship. Even though I’ve taken the steps to remove Stephen’s name from my body, the domestic abuse will forever remain with me.’

Their divorce was recently finalised and it has been claimed that Mel, 42, will pay Belafonte £6.5 million – £3m over three years, plus £3.5m from the sale of the home they shared as part of the settlement.
