Sugababe ‘NOT Anorexic’

Sugababe Amelle. She eats, you know.

Want to make Amelle Berrabah angry? Don’t talk about her weight.

Well, not in the snide, rumoury way that many did earlier this year.

The Sugababe’s weight plummeted earlier this year as she tried to cope with her boyfriend being attacked by a machete-wielding maniac last year.

‘I was going through a lot of stress,’ said Amelle. ‘My boyfriend was attacked and nearly died - and the weight just fell off me.’

According to Digital Spy, that sudden weight loss in that industry added up to one thing for some people.

‘I had some horrible comments,’ continued Amelle. ‘People were saying, ‘She's anorexic.’

‘I just thought, ‘You bastards, you don't know what I'm going through’. I almost lost a stone and I hated the way I looked.

‘I had to eat like an animal to put the weight back on. I ate a hell of a lot of chocolate. But it wasn't enjoyable at all, I really had to force-feed myself. I just wanted my old self back.’

Tell you what Amelle. If the rumours persist, how about we take you out for dinner and we can then confirm that you eat…?
