Sugababes have reportedly turned down the opportunity to make a documentary charting their years together as a band.
The group have chosen to leave the past alone after each being asked if they would be willing to take part in the project.
According to The Sun all three members of the current trio, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, Siobhan Donaghy, were asked as well as former members Jade Ewen, Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range.
The documentary was set to showcase the bands last 23 years together, journeying both the highs and the lows.
Sugababes shot into the charts back in 2000 with their debut single Overload and went on to enjoy a plethora of hits including About You Now, Freak Like Me and Push The Button.

But it wasn’t always plain sailing and the group were renowned for their fall outs which led to the line up changed three times before returning to the original threesome in 2012.
And it seems the members both past and present would rather not relive the fights.
Only Heidi agreed to be involved in the documentary leading producers to abandon any plans to film all together.
Last month Sugababes revealed the ‘normal jobs’ that they took on during their break from the spotlight as they opened up about going ‘through the trenches.’
Having reunited for a comeback tour last year, the trio found themselves at the centre of a record label bidding war, almost 25 years after originally forming.
Speaking in a new interview, Mutya, Keisha and Siobhán, discussed what happened when they disbanded and spoke of their hardships.
Siobhán, now 39, left the group in 2001, to embark on a solo career, but eventually retired from the limelight to pursue a ‘normal role.’
She told The Sun: ‘I was a model booker for six years and then went into property in Edinburgh. I feel like I really thrived as a model booker – I felt like it was my calling, I loved it.’
Recalling her 9-to-5 job, Siobhán explained how he learnt valuable skills to get ‘organised in life.’

Meanwhile, Mutya admitted that she didn’t have the same ‘blessing of normality’ that her bandmate experienced.
‘My whole life has been in the industry, since I was 14. I couldn’t have done anything else because people would recognise me,’ she said.
The band reformed in 2012 with their original line-up, under the name of Mutya Keisha Siobhan as Sugababes was still owned by their previous record label, they won back the rights to the name in 2019.
Kesha explained how the band was her ‘first job,’ only departing in 2009 after she was ‘forced’ out of the group.
A year and a half later she joined Mutya and Siobhán to regroup as MKS as they fought to get their name back and stood their ground for ten years.
She added: ‘We’ve been through the trenches. It’s been a journey that changed who I am 100%. Them watching us now is like icing on the cake. They lost. But we also know that things could change tomorrow.’
