Driving round LA with my baby@Stephenthinks1 happy Sunday fun day everyone," the
X Factorjudge wrote alongside the snapshot.
Mel and Stephen had a
dramatic end to 2014. The singer was forced to pull out of one of the
X Factorfinal shows after being
rushed to hospital, and later had to
speak out to deny claimsthat Stephen had been physically abusive towards her."I'm very good was very poorly but much better now and for the record
my hubby never would lay a hand on me," Mel wrote in an Instagram post on 28 December. "Sorry took so long but any response fuels rumours #lovemyfamily #lovemyfans."
Stephen also refuted the claims on social media. "I don't usually respond to Twitter messages but I will respond to comments of hitting my wife which I think are quite disgusting and untrue," he told followers in a message posted on 15 December."Mel was very ill, a bunch of doctors helped her get better if fans can't just relax before being negative they are not real fans of @OfficialMelB."
