Reports are mounting by the second claiming that Amelle Berrabah has official left the Sugababes – and has been replaced by none other than Eurovision star Jade Ewen:
Amelle Berrabah has quit the Sugababes- according to reports.
AND it’s thought that young solo star Jade Ewen will replace her in the girl group.
It’s been rumoured that Amelle had quit the band all week amid reports that the star had gone missing.
Now 21 year old Jade- who represented Britain at the most recent Eurovision song contest- looks set to take over in the band.
Ewen was due in the MTV offices yesterday but pulled out at the last minute. A statement from her label said:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Jade Ewen will be taking time off from all promotional activity for the foreseeable future.”
Amelle joined the group in 2005 replacing Mutya Buena. MTV is currently waiting on a statement from Sugababes label.

Wow! Having interviewed the ladies just a few weeks ago, nothing indicated that there was anything going on. I can also reveal that we interviewed Jade very recently too about her forthcoming project (the video of which will be up very soon) and nothing pointed to her involvement with the ‘Babes. With the media frenzy almost certain to ensue over here due to ‘yet another member leaving’, I’m cautiously holding my comments, until more is revealed.
I will say, however, that with the new album little over a month away, I initially thought all the ‘unhappy Amelle’ press was all publicity, but with her leaving so close to the release, it’s looking like things could get quite messy. After all, they’ve shot all the album promotional shots, likely mastered the album etc. So many questions on the mind; will Jade re-record Amelle’s parts, is Amelle leaving even true etc. Shocking stuff indeed….
Your thoughts?
