Sugababes became one of the most successful British girlbands of the 21st century with six Number One singles, millions of global sales and multiple, multi-platinum albums.

Fast forward two decades, the original line up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy arrived back in full force.
