Sugababes Jade Ewen, Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah have responded to cruel Twitter comments and talked about surviving their year from hell.
Following the shock departure of founder member Keisha Buchanan and her replacement within days by Eurovision star Ewen, the future of the group looked uncertain.
However nearly three months on, Ewen, Range, and Berrabah, are going strong and are responding to comments received from disgruntled fans.
According to Now, Ewen said: "I've had people say horrible things on Twitter, but now I block them if they say something negative.
"People can be really spiteful and mean - I don't know how people can have that much hate. We're only human at the end of the day. My mum's so funny; she writes back to people sometimes under another name!"
Range added that she also had to cope with some cruel comments: "There were some horrible things written on Twitter after Keisha left. Someone wrote that I needed to get an eating disorder because I was fat next to Amelle and Jade and someone else wrote: 'Burn in hell.'
"They're sad people, but thankfully I'm in a better place now, so it's not hurting as much. I'm staying off Twitter for now."
