Mel B was hospitalised due to drug overdose

Singer Mel B was hospitalised last week because she had an accidental overdose, mixing tranquilizers and alcohol, reports say

Controversy has swirled around the X Factor judge after she recently split from husband Stephen Belafonte in the midst of rumours that he had abused her - which Belafonte has denied.

Last week Mel missed a live taping of X Factor because she went to the hospital after suffering agonising stomach pains.

According to a source, the truth behind her medical crisis is that she “was hospitalised because she mixed tranquilizers, including Xanax, with alcohol.

It was absolutely accidental, and not intentional. She wasn’t suicidal, but the pressure of being back in London brought a lot of unresolved issues to the surface concerning being estranged from mother, Andrea, and the rest of her family,” reports radaronline.com.
