The Sugababes are feeling slightly left out of this years X Factor action and hold new judge, Cheryl Cole fully responsible.

Band member Heidi Range, 25 claims that show bosses will not let them perform on the show as they are Girls Aloud and therefore Cheryl Cole’s biggest rivals.

“It makes sense that if they’re going to have a girlband on they’ll have Girls Aloud,” Range told the Daily Star. “You can’t blame them, though. If one of us was on the panel we would be like: ‘No, we are the only girlband’.”
