Mutya Buena has claimed that she was "pressurised" into making her decision to leave the Sugababes.
The 21-year-old told bandmates Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range that she was quitting in December 2005 after scoring 14 hit singles with the popular girl group. She is now planning to launch a solo career.
She told RTW: "What would have been perfect would be if the girls had left me a tiny bit alone and stopped pressuring me. If they'd just given me a bit more time, I'd love to still be in the Sugababes.
"Me and Heidi haven't spoken since I left. I did try to make peace by going down to CD:UK but I didn't quite get a good response.
"I don't read whatever the girls say anymore - I'm not that interested - but I did try to talk to them. Heidi was supposedly too hurt to talk to me."
