Amelle dated Danny briefly last year, four months before he got back with Kelly
Attention: Amelle Berrabah
Danny Cipriani "freaked out" Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah by texting her sleazy selfies in an attempt to get her into bed.
Amelle dated Danny briefly last year, four months before he got back with Kelly.
But she ditched him when he sent her X-rated texts and semi-naked pictures - just like the ones horrified Kelly found on a phone he kept for flirting with other women.
A friend of Amelle said: "Danny began sending lots of pictures of himself topless, which would go down to the beginning of his private parts.
"It shocked her to receive those messages and Amelle told him that the last thing she would do is send a similar one back."
Amelle and Cipriani met through a mutual friend, X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman.
Amelle, 29, who has been in chart-topping girlband the Sugababes since 2005, told the friend: "If Danny really wants you then he makes it his mission to get you. He would bombard me with messages that would tell me he wanted me so badly and that he couldn't wait to see me so he could kiss and touch me all over.
"Danny also said he loved a girl with a big bum and a tiny waist and that my Moroccan heritage really turned him on. He was obsessed with my bottom and really had a thing about it."
But the attention soon became a turn-off for Amelle.

The friend added: "Amelle is very oldschool in the way that she was brought up and the way Danny was being so full-on really put her off.
"It was all too much and began to freak her out and annoy her."
Alarm bells also started ringing when friends started to warn Amelle that her date was "a bit dodgy".
The friend said: "That was one of the main reasons she dumped him because she couldn't be bothered with all of that. Amelle definitely would not accept or approve of a man seeing other girls at the same time as her.
"It was obvious he was a bit of a player. She said it was nice to go on a couple of dates, but she did not want to take things to the next level."
And while Cipriani has allegedly told his friends he found Kelly "boring", Amelle has told her pals she found the Sale Sharks fly-half dull.
Amelle told her friend: "There wasn't really much going on up top and he was a bit boring. I need someone who interests me and mentally stimulates. He just didn't have much to say, which meant he didn't capture my attention."
Her pal explained: "They spoke about Amelle's pop career and his rugby, as well as family life and their upbringings. She found him attractive and was intrigued more than anything. He was charming and really nice but he just didn't have that much to say.
"There was never anything that interesting."
Amelle has now told friends she is glad she didn't take the romance any further after his cheating ways were exposed this week.
She told a pal: "It didn't surprise me, but I'm so relieved. He was single at the time, but this has made me realise I definitely made the right decision.
"The way I dumped him was by not replying to his messages. It then fizzled out."
Within months he was back with Kelly. A spokesman for Cipriani yesterday declined to comment on the relationship with Amelle.

The 8th season of Celebrity MasterChef UK aired on July 31 and one of the contestants, Sugababe’s Heidi Range, talked about her experience with cooking and being on Celebrity MasterChef Season 8 in an interview with John Stapleton and Helen Fospero on ITV’s Daybreak that morning.

Heidi looked great in a white dress paired with some fabulous high heels — Chrisitan Louboutin “No Barre” mary jane peep-toe pumps. She was spotted outside the ITV studios, shielding herself from the rain with a large umbrella.

Since Heidi walked effortlessly in heels even in the rain, we wondered if she would wear them in the kitchen, too. She is used to performing and dancing in heels, so our guess was she’d have no trouble cooking in heels, too.
We checked out the first episode of Celebrity MasterChef UK, and we were right! Heidi did wear heels to the MasterChef kitchen and had no trouble cooking in them. Can you cook in heels as easily as she can?

She’s just seen the original incarnation of her band the Sugababes reform to a rapturous welcome but Amelle Berrabh doesn’t seem too worried about her rivals as she suns herself in Greece.
The star has shared some snaps from her break, which show the gorgeous singer relaxing in a number of skimpy bikinis.
The 29-year-old has jetted off to unwind for a few days before the release of her new solo track Love Is All We Need.

Taking to her Twitter account on Tuesday the star showed off her holiday photos from Greece.

It looks like the Sugababe is loving her time in the luxury resort as she also shares a poolside photo, showing her looking pretty in a white mini dress and a make-up free face with her natural curly hair blowing in the breeze.
The holiday comes as Amelle prepares to debut her new solo project, a single with Adam J and Nightcrashers.

Speaking to Digital Spy about the track, which is released later this month, she said: 'The song is basically about love, as you probably can tell from the title.'
'I just wrote about love at first sight - when you see someone and you're instantly attracted to them.'
'The video concept is almost me and Adam narrating exactly that - two people bumping into each other.'
Amelle’s solo work follows hints that the Sugababes are on an indefinite hiatus. Amelle’s bandmate Jade Ewen appeared to confirm the news that the girls were parting ways just days after the group’s original line-up performed their first gig under their new guise as Mutya Keisha Siobhan, or MKS.

Jade revealed to Digital Spy this month that she was unsure about the future of the band.
‘I don't even know if the band stuff is going to happen again, if I'm completely honest. I think Amelle wants to do her own solo stuff, Heidi is doing a Happy Days musical... I think we're pretty much done.
‘I'm working on solo material at the moment actually. It's only come about in the past three weeks, so it's quite a new project.
