Of the three days she left her family fearing she'd been kidnapped, Amelle said: "I was depressed (for only three days? Good innings). You shouldn't have to go to work treading on eggshells (yet 95% of the working population do. It is, after all, called 'work'). Keisha didn’t leave off her own back - me and Heidi couldn’t carry on. Before LA I disappeared for three days and I got to the point where I just couldn’t take any more. I needed to be on my own. Heidi completely supported me and knew what was going on within the band. But we all couldn’t work together anymore - we weren’t happy, me and Heidi, and it was a struggle to come into work to be honest, we didn’t enjoy it... Keisha and I went out after I GOT TO NUMBER ONE and things looked OK to everyone else. But when you’re on the inside you know the truth. I honestly don’t know if SHE WAS JEALOUS of MY NUMBER ONE and everything else that has been happening for me (LOTS OF STUFF). I don’t want to go into airing things (more than she already has) and going back and forth because we are adults here and I want to move on and be happy."
