Here's everything you need to know about the band who have scored six Number 1 singles...

The Sugababes' beginnings

Keisha and Mutya, along with Siobhán Donaghy started the Sugababes in 1998, when they were just 11 and 12-years-old, with Keisha admitting that they never wanted to be famous. Explaining to Hits Radio, Keisha said: "We never wanted to be like celebrities, we were literally just girls. Me and Mutya met when we were eight-years-old, and so we were literally just singing in school.

"And then we got the opportunity to you know, go in the studio after school. There wasn't so much emphasis on the celebrity world back then. Remember, you didn't have X Factor and loads of things like that, so for us, we were able to, I guess keep humble, because the main goal was just we got to sing and make music."

Keisha continued: "I guess afterwards then you're like, we get to go on stage too! Oh we get to meet people like we grew up with, and that's when we kind of thought, 'oh OK, we're a little bit different'."

Throughout the years, the Sugababes have had six UK Number 1s and five Top 10 albums, including hits such as 'Push the Button', 'Round Round' and 'About You Now'.
