Keisha Buchanan was pleased fellow Sugababe Amelle Berrabah got into a fight - because it made the band more interesting.

Keisha, the founding member of the girl group, insists she was delighted when she discovered Amelle had been involved in a nightclub brawl earlier this year because it showed the group were normal people.

She said: "I think things like that need to happen once in a while just so things don't get boring. At the end of the day, you can't stop going to places that you used to go to because you're famous."

Amelle, who claimed she and her sister Laila had been attacked for no reason by a group of girls in the Surrey nightclub, was arrested for her part in the April fracas but all charges were later dropped.

Fellow Sugababe Heidi Range also insists she found the entire incident "hilarious".

She added to Britain's Star magazine: "I was in shock! We were going to Atlanta to record the next day, and me and Keisha turned up at the airport, full of the joys of spring. We got out of the car, saw Amelle, and I'm like, 'Oh, Amelle, here's your birthday present!' and she was like, 'I've just come from a cell.' It was hilarious."
