When they formed the Sugababes in 1998, Keisha admits that it "wasn’t a very healthy environment"."We didn’t really get a chance to gel," she explained in an interview with V magazine."I feel like we were thrown to the wolves in a sense," added Siobhan.

Siobhan Donaghy quit the group in 2001 and was replaced by singer Heidi Range. Mutya Buena departed in 2005 and was replaced just 48 hours by Amelle Berrabah. Keisha Buchanan left the group in 2009."I’m sad to say that I am no longer a part of the Sugababes," said Keisha at the time. "Although it was not my choice to leave, it’s time to enter a new chapter in my life. "I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying of anything of the sort that lead to this," she added. "Sometimes a breakdown in communication and lack of trust can result in different things." The singer was replaced by former Eurovision Song Contest entrant Jade Ewen.

Keisha has revealed that she cannot talk about her split from the Sugababes for legal reasons. "Legally, I’ve been told I can’t go into detail," she said. "I can speak for England and I’d enjoy telling the world exactly what happened but I can’t. I pretty much found out when everyone did.
