Reports in the Sun this morning claimed that police are set to question Belafonte after receiving complaints that Mel was allegedly held hostage at the couple's London home on December 10, 2014 – the day before she was rushed to hospital after suffering severe stomach pains.
However, a representative for the X Factor judge said: "Both Mel and Stephen categorically deny this is true and the police have not contacted Stephen."
Mel also took to Twitter to deny the story, posting: "Pls don't believe what you read it's all lies lies lies as usual [sic]".
Pls don't belive what you read it's all lies lies lies as usual

The Metropolitan Police said: "We can confirm police in Kensington and Chelsea borough are investigating an allegation of false imprisonment.
"The allegation was reported on Monday 15 December. We are not prepared to discuss further."
Mel missed the first half of the live X Factor final in Wembley, but returned to TV the following night.
During the X Factor final, fans on social media noted that Mel's left cheek and eye appeared to be bruised, while she had scratches on her arms.
The Spice Girl was also not wearing her wedding ring.
Belafonte rushed to Twitter to deny allegations of domestic abuse, writing: "I don't usually respond to Twitter msgs but I will respond to comments of hitting my wife which I think are quite disgusting un true!
"Mel was very ill a bunch of doctors helped her get better if fans can't just relax B4 being negative they r not real fans of @OfficialMelB."
The couple have put on a united front since the allegations, spending Christmas together with their children and most recently attending the Paddington premiere together.
