The Sugababes management team have reported given Amelle Berrabah an ultimate - finish with boyfriend Freddie Fuller or she’s finished in the band.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Amelle has missed several recording sessions with the band after disappearing with Freddie over the last few weeks and the band’s record label don’t want to be connected to Freddie when he stands trial later this year for being involved in the rape of Amelle’s younger sister, Samiya.

A friend of Amelle’s told the newspaper: “She loves Freddie and believes his claims that Samiya has made the whole thing up.”

“But the other two girls [in the band], the management and the label have threatened to axe her unless she dumps him.”

“She’s gone underground and has refused to answer their calls - but it will all climax this week.”

“Amelle has got a serious decision to make.”

Amelle joined Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range in the band in 2005, replacing original member Mutya Buena.
