They’ve had more band line ups than we’ve had drunken conversations about how much we fancy Olly from The X Factor. And now it’s been announced that Amelle has dramatically left the Sugababes – but only for three weeks. The singer is taking a hiatus after being advised to take time out from the band. A statement from Heidi and Jade says: "Unfortunately, Amelle has been forced to take an unexpected short break away from the pressures of work, following some professional medical advice earlier this week. It seems that with all the recent events in the band right up to Jade joining us a few weeks ago, the
stress over a period of months has unfortunately taken its toll on Amelle and she is now suffering from a severe bout of nervous exhaustion. For the next 3 weeks, Amelle will be staying at a private health clinic in Europe where she will be able to rest and recuperate under expert supervision. We’re expecting her to return to work in full health by the beginning of November."
