Stephen Belafonte has allegedly asked his estranged ex Mel B for money in new court papers, after she blocked his access to her fortune.
According to Daily Mail, the producer's lawyers have asked the former Spice Girl, 41, for a cash advance to fund his 'living expenses' during their messy divorce battle.
However the mother-of-three has reportedly refused his request, and instead accuses Stephen of owing her £800,000 - a claim he vehemently denies.

It was reported on Sunday that Stephen had asked his ex for money, after claims she had blocked him from her personal accounts last week.
