Amelle Berrabah's Sugababe vow

Amelle Berrabah has no intention of leaving the Sugababes, despite reports her bandmates want to kick her out.

It has been claimed Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range have grown frustrated with Amelle's behaviour and want to replace her.

However, Amelle - who joined the group in December 2005, replacing original member Mutya Buena - insists she is staying put.

She said: I'm 110 per cent committed to the Sugababes. It's a dream come true. I can't wait to perform the new album live.

Founder Keisha and Heidi, who replaced Siobhan Donaghy in 2001, are also looking forward to releasing the group's new album 'Change', and attempted to quash rumours about Amelle's departure.

Keisha said: Things couldn't be better in the band at the moment. Amelle, Heidi and I are a rock solid team.

Heidi added: This is our best album yet and we are all looking forward to getting out there and promoting it.

It had been claimed Keisha and Heidi were furious at Amelle's apparent lack of commitment to the group and had held a secret audition to find her replacement.

However, a spokesman for the band, said: Contrary to speculation Amelle Berrabah is not leaving the Sugababes. There have been no auditions for a new band member.
