Sugababe Amelle confronts 'lying' journalist

Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has revealed that she told off a journalist who wrote a fictitious story about the group.

A national newspaper claimed the pop trio fell out at a charity fashion event last month, but Berrabah insisted the story was false.

"We had the best night ever!" she told DS. "[But] the next day I read in the paper that Heidi was sitting on the floor crying, me and Keisha were having a scrap and I was pushing them both out the way so I could get to the front."

The singer was so "wound up" by the article that she decided to confront the journalist responsible for it.

"I actually rang up the paper, which is something I never normally do, and had a go at the person who wrote it," she recalled. "I said, 'You're a liar!' and the journalist kept apologising."

Berrabah also admitted she "still hasn't got used to" rumours surrounding the Sugababes, despite being a member of the group for nearly three years.
