Sugababe Amelle 'went missing for days'

Amelle Berrabah "vanished" for a number of days after an argument with Sugababes bandmate Keisha Buchanan, it has been claimed.

According to The Sun, Berrabah missed a nightclub performance and other public appearances after the spat and failed to respond to contact from her management.

After Berrabah's family reportedly contacted the police, officers visited the singer's home where she is believed to have told them that she was safe but in need of a break.

A source said: "She is deeply unhappy at the moment and is scared of Keisha. She still loves the band and the last thing she wants to do is quit.

"But the problem needs to be addressed because she feels she is being bullied. Keisha will just have digs at her throughout the day and it has been going on for months."

They added: "It has got worse since Amelle had the Tinchy Stryder single and featured big time in the 'Get Sexy' video. Keisha is very dominating while Amelle is quite placid."
