Despite persistent rumours of a rift, the Sugababes appear to be going stronger than ever.

Performing at the Isle of Wight Festival, Heidi Range, Keisha Buchanan and Amelle Berrabah wowed the crowd on stage last Saturday.

Co-ordinated as usual, the girls wore revealing black outfits as Amelle's dress in particular left little to the imagination.

Taking a break from work, Heidi and Amelle later put in some quality time with their boyfriends.

Heidi's laid-back look was a far cry from her stage outfit as she cosied up to television presenter Dave Berry in a hippie-style maxi-dress, baring some resemblance to nursery rhyme character Little Bo Peep.

Sensibly, Amelle decided to stay in her frock and judging by her man Freddie Fuller's reaction, it was the right choice.

The group is now on its third line-up and is still topping in the charts after original member Siobhan Donaghy  and Mutya Buena left amid claims of bullying and bitterness.

There were also stories that Heidi was bullied when she first joined the band after Siobhan left because she was so different to the other two girls.

Amelle and Keisha share similar working class backgrounds but Heidi grew up in a middle-class family near Aintree.

She started off at stage school before auditioning for the band that would later become Atomic Kitten.

Daring: The girls' skimpy outfits are a hit with the audience
