Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) has been put under 24-hour police protection after being hounded by obsessed Eddie Murphy fans.The former Spice Girl, who split up from the comedy star last month, is facing daily abuse from a group of fans camped outside her LA home, according to The Sun.

Although she spent last week living with her parents in Britain she has recently returned to her besieged house.A friend of the star told The Sun:

"She is extremely lonely in LA, and her life is being made intolerable by Eddie's fans camped outside."

They shout insults and give her abuse all the time. The police have decided to place an officer outside to keep an eye on things. She was living with Eddie before all this happened and spent her time with him - now she's all alone.

"She can't understand why he hasn't even bothered to phone and explain what's going on. Mel is incredibly hurt by it."

The source added: "So far Mel hasn't been thinking about money - and reports that she is going to tell all on US TV are just nonsense. Mel just wants to hear from Eddie before she does anything so she can decide what to do about her future and that of their baby."

The twists and turns of this Spice Girl continue to unfold but at least the majority of the public and press back Melanie.
