Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah fears she is hitting “rock bottom” after being arrested for drink driving.
The ‘About A Girl’ singer was pulled over by officers in North London at 5.23am last Thursday (23.09.10) and charged with “driving with excess alcohol,” according to a police spokesperson.
In regards to the incident, she made a series of posts on her twitter account, saying: “I can’t believe what's being said! I'm so sad this has happened to me. I got up to do my normal 6am jog, you guys know this as I twitter about it all the time!
“I'd been out the night before for drinks with friends and got stopped on my way to meet my personal trainer and It was obviously still In my system.
“I'm sooo angry with myself I felt fine and had a coffee.
“Why do papers always write horrid stuff on me I feel like I'm going rock bottom again. (sic)”
She also wrote: “I didn't know it could be still in your system.”
It had been reported Amelle, 26, was pulled over by police after an argument with her boyfriend, Tom Benn.
Meanwhile, the weekend was further problematic for the Sugababes - which also includes Heidi Range and Jade Ewen – when they were forced to cancel a show on Friday (24.09.10).
The show was scrapped after Heidi slipped over in the shower and had to be taken to hospital to receive stitches.
Amelle will now appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on October 8.
