Sugababe Amelle Berrabah is facing a drink-driving charge, police said yesterday.

The 26-year-old singer was allegedly at the wheel when her Mercedes was pulled over by officers at 5.23am on Thursday morning.

It was a painful weekend for the girl band, who had to pull out of a performance on Friday after Heidi Range was taken to hospital.

Heidi, 27, fell in the shower and had a gash on her chin stitched up by doctors after TV host fiancé Dave Berry, 32, took her to A&E. She was ordered to rest and the band's appearance at the British Olympic Association ball was cancelled.

Amelle and third member Jade Ewen, 22, did not want to perform without Heidi.

Amelle must now appear at Highbury Corner magistrates on October 8 following her arrest in Camden Street, North London.

Scotland Yard said she is accused of "driving with excess alcohol".
