The mother of Mel B 's ­ex-nanny has accused the Spice Girls star of putting her daughter’s life at risk from deluded fans with her explosive divorce claims.

Mel, 42, insists that her former ­childminder Lorraine Gilles had an affair with her husband Stephen Belafonte and got pregnant.

But Lorraine’s furious mum has hit back, saying it was the British hitmaker who lured her then-innocent 18-year-old daughter into a sordid lifestyle of threesome sex sessions.

Angelika Gilles said: “My daughter has received so many threats and hate mail that I can’t sleep at night.

“I am afraid that something is going to happen to her. It would not be the first time that haters commit something horrible.

“Lorraine does not have the privilege to live in a villa with security or a bodyguard like Mel B.

“She is a simple girl who is trying to live a normal life in Los Angeles.”

German housewife Angelika, 54, is also worried about her safety and that of her husband Volker.

She said: “Even in Germany our life has changed.

“People are constantly lurking around our house and ask strange ­questions about our daughter. “

Angelika claims Scary Spice turned her daughter from an innocent teenage language student into a promiscuous young woman taking part in sordid threesomes that were filmed.

But Leeds-born Mel’s lawyer says she is entitled to make “colourful” ­allegations about the nanny as part of her divorce battle against Belafonte, who is accused of years of domestic violence against the star.

For years Angelika thought Lorraine, now 26, was enjoying a secure and respectable life as a nanny to Mel’s three children.

But her world fell apart when the America’s Got Talent judge claimed in a Los Angeles court that her film ­producer husband coerced her into threesomes with him and other women during their ten-year marriage.

Mel claimed that Belafonte, 43, made Lorraine pregnant then used the singer’s money for an abortion .

Angelika said: “My husband and I are shocked and in total disbelief.

“Never in our wildest dreams would we have thought that Mel B is dragging our daughter into this lifestyle.

“I was shocked when I found out about everything from our daughter after all these claims were published. They portrayed Lorraine in such a bad way as if it was her fault that this ­marriage fell apart.

“We stand behind Lorraine and ­support her no matter what but I wonder what was going on in Mel B’s head.

“Lorraine was 18 at the time and Mel was 35.

“Did she ever think about us? How would we feel about this?

“Her own daughter is 18 now. Would she want her to be in a position our daughter was in?”

Lorraine travelled to America on a student visa in 2009 after graduating from school in Germany with the hope of heading into acting. The blonde beauty met Mel at a restaurant and was quickly hired to look after her three kids.

Angelika said: “When she started working for Mel B and her family I thought she was in good hands. We spoke via Skype almost every day and also talked to Mel B a lot.

“At the time she was very nice to us and praised my daughter’s work. She told us that Lorraine is such a great babysitter, takes care of her children very well and is a loving person. She could not have asked for a better nanny for her kids.

“During all these years in which Lorraine has worked for her, Mel B had nothing but positive things to say about her.”

Mel, who once introduced Lorraine as “my best friend” to her America’s Got Talent boss Simon Cowell , was so close to the nanny she even visited her family in Germany.

The singer and her children Phoenix, then 14, Angel Iris, who was five, and baby Madison from her marriage to Belafonte travelled to Europe as guests at Lorraine’s sister’s wedding in 2012.

Angelika, of Ascheberg, north-west Germany, said: “Mel B and her family have visited us a few times and we took care of her children when she had to go to work in Europe. Her kids are absolute ­sweethearts, very nice with sensitive souls.

“They spent last summer with us, played with the animals and watched our horses. They had a great time.”

Angelika questioned why Mel risked her children possibly hearing of all the ­allegations made public in court papers.

“Why is she exposing her kids to this whole drama?” she asks in an open letter to the Sunday People.

“We do not understand that at all. We pray that soon the truth will come out, that this whole circus will come to an end and Lorraine and Mel B’s children don’t have to suffer any more.”

Lorraine, still living in Los Angeles and married to events manager Michael Bleau, 32, is now suing Mel for libel over the accusation that she was a home-wrecker who had a secret affair with Belafonte and got pregnant. Lorraine admits in court papers she had threesomes with the singer and Belafonte but that she felt “very uncomfortable”.

The papers include a handwritten ­letter from Mel apparently sent earlier this year thanking her for her work. The note is in complete contrast to the accusations Mel made about the nanny just a few weeks later in April.

It reads: “I write this to say thank you for everything you have done for my kids, but also sorry. You sacrificed seven years of your life and dedicated to my kids and for that, I am more than grateful.”

Mel invited Lorraine to attend daughter Madison’s school event “as a special person”.

Mel adds: “I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and my family and I mean that with a pure heart.”

She then urges Lorraine to “go live your life and please let me live mine with my family”.

She insisted that a reply was not necessary.“No need to reply to me nor Stephen respectfully,” she signed off.

Lorraine claims the note was sent on February 24 this year. The nanny’s evidence includes an email from Madison’s school head confirming the request from Mel. Just a few weeks later the Spice Girl filed for divorce. Her husband denies all Mel’s allegations.
