Heidi Range: 'Keisha won't talk to me'

Heidi Range has revealed that her former Sugababes bandmate Keisha Buchanan is not talking to her.

Range told The Mirror that she had been "constantly bursting into tears" since Buchanan was asked to leave the group last week.

"Things came to a sudden end," Range said. "We didn't think anything was going to continue at all. We were going to split, and we'd be over. Then management came to us and asked Amelle and me if we'd like to carry on. And we did.

"The last time I saw Keisha was terrible. We didn't speak. I've sent her a message but she's not talking to me - she doesn't want to know.

"It's been years together with the band and it's really hard. Really hard. Everyone's nicknamed me Tiny Tears because I'm constantly bursting into tears."

However, she admitted that she was glad the band had been given a "second chance".

"We tried everything we could to make it work with Keisha but we couldn't keep it going with her," she said. "Life's too short to live in an unhappy situation.

"None of us were happy, her included. It was a difficult situation."
