Keisha: Jade’s Not Joining the ‘Babes

SUGABABE Keisha Buchanan says Eurovision flop Jade Ewen is NOT joining them - but their future still looks uncertain.

She denied Jade would replace Amelle Berrabah, saying: “It’s not true she’s joining. She’s a friend of mine but no, I’m not a liar. It’s completely false, that’s the honest to God truth. One hundred per cent.”

But sources close to Jade said she HAD been in LA, where the Babes were meant to be recording a music video for their new single. Keisha said the trio - who also include blonde Heidi Range - have patched up the problems between them, which led to Amelle going AWOL.

“We’re all still in LA, me and the girls. There is no hate going on between us. There’s the three of us in this band and no-one is joining,” she said.

But their record company Island is due to make a big announcement on the future of the band in the next couple of days, fuelling speculation they might split. A source said: “There’s crunch talks being held at the moment. Keisha doesn’t know if she can deal with the stress of a new member joining if Amelle leaves. It seems like the perfect time for the band to end. “They’re not best mates but as far as Amelle is concerned she’s a Sugababe for the moment while they sort everything out.”
