Amelle Barrabah

Amelle Barrabah

Sugababes star Amelle Barrabah is recovering from a turbulent few months with the help of a new man - she's dating former model Tom Benn.

The singer, who split from her ex-boyfriend Freddie Fuller last year, was admitted to a clinic in Europe in October suffering from nervous exhaustion after founding member Keisha Buchanan was booted out of the band and replaced by Eurovision star Jade Ewen.

The group was left facing more trouble recently after three former founding members - Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan - launched a bid to secure the rights to the Sugababes name.

But Berrabah has bounced back from the troubles with a blossoming new romance - she's confirmed her involvement with Benn, a former model who now works in management.

She says, "He's absolutely lovely. We've only been official for the past few weeks, but it's great. Tom gets the industry and he gets me - which is a real bonus. He's romantic - he even took me to (star-studded London restaurant) The Ivy for a Valentine's Day date. I'm glad I found him."
