Mutya Buena has defended her former Sugababes bandmate Keisha Buchanan, saying she is not a bully.

Keisha was rumoured to have had a bust-up with fellow babe Amelle Berrabah, who missed one of the group's gigs and was even reported missing.

The group deny they've had a row.

Speaking at a charity event for Ndoro Children's Charities in London on Thursday Mutya said: "I would not say Keisha is a bully, I never left because of her."

"I don't think they are breaking up. It's just good publicity."

Mutya left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Amelle.

The trio are due release a new album in November.
