The singer, whose lover Freddie Fuller was almost killed during a terrifying machete attack on Christmas Eve (24.12.07), has left her plush home and moved into the sparse prefab in Aldershot, Hampshire, so she can keep a vigil by Freddie's bedside.
One neighbour said: "You don't expect to see a rich pop star living in a mobile home. I have said hello to her a few times and she seems quite nice."
Amelle and Freddie were on a festive pub crawl when he was attacked at around 11.30pm outside the Queen Victoria pub in Aldershot, Hampshire.
Freddie almost lost his left arm and leg in the horrific incident.
The 23-year-old 'About You Now' singer said: "It's awful to see him lying there so still with his face so pale and his limbs all bound up. Doctors say he's going to need constant care for at least eight weeks so I've decided to book him into a private hospital."
Tree surgeon Freddie underwent a six-hour operation to save his partially severed limbs after being rushed to hospital. Surgeons have revealed it was one of the worst knife attacks they had ever seen.
A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He has since been released on bail.
Amelle managed to put on a brave face when she joined her Sugababes bandmates Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range to perform at London's O2 arena on New Year's Eve (31.12.07).
