Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan is desperate to get married.

The 24-year-old singer is keen for boyfriend Dean Thomas to propose to her and is planning for the pair to have matching tattoos as a sign of their affections.

Keisha told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Where is my ring? I think he should hurry up and ask me to marry him, he hasn't yet. We moved in together and it's the best thing I've done. I'm so happy.

"I had 'Love' tattooed on my wrist and he is going to get the same on his hand so that we are matching. I didn't like it at first, but I think it's cute that he is getting it done, too - and he's scared of needles.

"My friends keep telling us to stop it. We don't even know that we are being all soppy, we just do it. I'm so happy at the moment."

Keisha and Dean have been dating for a year, and despite both her bandmates Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah both recently celebrating five year anniversaries with their boyfriends, neither say they've plans for marriage just yet.

Heidi, whose boyfriend is TV presenter Dave Berry, said: "I seriously doubt Dave will propose. We're happy as we are, so why would we want to change it?"

Although Amelle, 24, would like to take a break after the group have finished promoting latest album 'Catfights and Spotlights' she will be keeping busy with modelling and other musical ventures.

She said: "It's practically been non-stop work since I joined, so we'll take a good few months off and do our own thing. I'm definitely going to try modelling and do lots more songwriting for other artists."

'Catfights and Spotlights' is released on October 20.
