FORMER Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has confirmed she’ll “reveal secrets” about the band after being ousted from the reunion.
The popstar, now 41, joined the girl group in December 2005 as a replacement for Mutya Buena and stayed with the band until they went on hiatus at the end of 2011.
When the Sugababes came to end, Amelle was singing alongside Heidi Range, who joined the group in 2001, and last recruit Jade Ewen, who came on board in 2009.
Whilst with Heidi and Jade, Amelle released the Suagbabes seventh album Sweet 7 before the band “fizzled out”.
At the same time, the band’s original line-up, Mutya, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy began performing together again and by 2019 won a legal battle to re-gain the band name Sugababes – essentially preventing the other three from ever reuniting.
Now Amelle is getting her own back on being ousted from the band’s reunion.
She is set to spill “secrets” in an explosive new BBC documentary called Girlbands Forever.
Posting about the doc on Instagram, she wrote: “Had such a wonderful time chatting all things girlbands for the BBC show ‘Girlbands Forever’.
“It brought back so many amazing memories — from my time in the Sugababes to the incredible era of pop that shaped so many of us.
“So grateful to have been part of it all, and to share a few laughs (and maybe a few secrets 😜) along the way!
“Sending love to all the girlbands who paved the way and to all the music lovers who still keep the music alive!
“Girlbands Forever promises a nostalgic trip through that time in pop music history.”
It comes as The Sun asked Amelle last year if she ever saw any of the Sugababes stars anymore.
She admitted she hadn’t heard from any of the original three and revealed that there has been virtually no contact with them ever.
The star, who is the only Sugababe to achieve a solo number one away from the group, said: “I’ve never met Siobhan, I’ve heard great things, though.
“Mutya, the only day I’ve ever met her was to wish me luck for CDUK and we had a little chat and a cuddle.
“That’s literally the only time I’ve ever met her.
“And then Keisha, we haven’t spoken in a few years to be honest.”
Girlbands Forever airs on BBC Two and the BBC iPlayer on November 1 at 9,20pm
