Sugababes

Sugababe Amelle Berrabah is reportedly "feeling better than ever and ready to come home" after being treated for nervous exhaustion in a private clinic in Europe.

The singer, who was ordered by medical professionals to take a three-week break from the group, is expected to fly back to Britain on Thursday.

"Amelle is over the moon to be leaving the hospital at last," a source told the Daily Star.

"She feels like a new person and can't wait to get back to work and put this sad situation behind her.

"The clinic's programme includes acupuncture, as well as group therapy sessions, building up confidence and tackling insecurities.

"Amelle's been doing a lot of exercise like hiking and running and said she's in a good place. She's ready to move forward with her life and get back to work with the band."

The group are expected to resume promotional duties for their new single 'About A Girl', including performances for GMTV, Radio 1's Live Lounge and T4.

Sugababes recently postponed the release of their new album Sweet 7 until February next year.

Brit pop trio the Sugababes have been forced to push back the release of their latest album Sweet 7 to give new member Jade Ewen more time to learn all the new songs.

The Eurovision star was drafted in to replace founding member Keisha Buchanan in September after her bandmates Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah decided they wanted to carry on the band without her.

The line-up change happened just two months before the band were set to release its seventh studio album - the trio's first record since signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.

The release date was initially postponed from 9 November until 23 November, but fans will now have to wait until February to get their hands on the new album.

Original Sugababe members Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy are currently holding talks to reform as a group, a new report has claimed.

According to Holy Moly, the three singers are said to be in discussions with record company Warner and have also been offered three seperate solo deals.

The label is reportedly eager for the trio to record new music with producers including William Orbit and Stuart Price.

The original lineup rose to fame with single 'Overload' in September 2000 and released album One Touch.

Donaghy quit the group a year later and was replaced by Heidi Range. Amelle Berrabah joined in December 2005 after the departure of Buena.

Buchanan became the last original member to leave the group in September 2009. She was replaced by Jade Ewen.

The 25-year-old recently ruled out getting back together with Buena and Donaghy, claiming that it was "not in our plans at all".

Warner Records has denied claims that it approached the three original Sugababes about reuniting.

Reports yesterday suggested that the label had offered Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy a group deal and individual solo contracts.

"We haven't seen them here or heard anything about it. I don't think they've got the story right," a statement reads.

The first lineup rose to fame in 2000 with 'Overload' and released album One Touch together. Siobhan quit the group a year later, followed by Mutya Buena in December 2005. Keisha Buchanan became the last original member to leave in September.

Island Records, the current Sugababes label, has yet to comment on the reports.

Keisha Buchanan's manager has rejected reports that the singer could reunite with former Sugababes bandmates Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy.

It had been suggested that the trio could reform the group's original lineup, though record label Warners denied approaching them about a comeback.

Buchanan's manager told BBC Newsbeat: "Keisha is definitely, 100% not going to be involved in any kind of Sugababes reformation.

"Keisha has solo projects that she's working on which will be out next year."

Buchanan had previously used Twitter to deny reports of a reunion, while Buena was said to be keen on the mooted comeback.

The current Sugababes lineup features Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and new addition Jade Ewen, none of whom were in the group when it was formed in 1998.

Sugababes have announced that they will release their upcoming album Sweet 7 in Germany on December 4.

The record, which includes singles 'Get Sexy' and 'About A Girl', is currently expected to be released three months later in the UK on March 8.

The trio teamed up with producers including RedOne, Stargate and The Smeezingtons for the album, which also features a collaboration with Sean Kingston called 'Miss Everything'.

The group resumed promotion for their new single 'About A Girl' this weekend after Amelle Berrabah returned from a health clinic in Europe following treatment for nervous exhaustion.

The founding members of the Sugababes have reportedly hired Peter Andre's manager Claire Powell to helm a comeback.

According to The Sun, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy met last week and have decided to move ahead with a planned reunion.

A record label source said: "The comeback is gathering momentum.

"Mutya had a lot of convincing to do to get the girls around the table to sort things out. That happened last week and they are all game to give it a go."

They added: "Mutya's manager knows he needs some muscle to make it a commercial success and he's called in his old pal Claire.

"The other girls are delighted to be back in touch. They are bang up for it with the new management team. They are now looking for a record deal and have started planning for a big launch next year."

Earlier this month, Buchanan's manger said that the singer is concentrating on her solo career and "is definitely, 100% not going to be involved in any kind of Sugababes reformation".

The current Sugababes lineup of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen are recording brand new material for inclusion on their upcoming Sweet 7 album.

Id love to see the old original sugababes reform!!! Im really not liking the sugababes as they are now

The original members of The Sugarbabes have called in Jordan’s ex manager Claire Powell to propel them back into the public eye. A record label source told The Sun, ‘The comeback is gathering momentum. Mutya had a lot of convincing to do to get the girls around the table to sort things out. That happened last week and they are all game to give it a go. Mutya's manager knows he needs some muscle to make it a commercial success and he's called in his old pal Claire.’

I wonder what they would call themselves? I hope they are a success, I used to love the old line up of Sugababes :thumbsup:
