Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan opens up about break-up from secret boyfriend as she reveals she moved to Canada for him
The noughties girl band member, 40, took to her YouTube channel last week to update fans on her love life.
Keisha revealed that she had been in a secret relationship with a Canadian man, and she had even moved out there to live with him.
But in the candid clip Keisha admitted that having been in several long term relationships, it was the first time she's been single for a long time and has realised she 'doesn't know how to date'.
She said: 'I went through a breakup, and we actually were living together in Canada. So my ex boyfriend is Canadian, and it didn't work out, and that's very difficult to kind of navigate.'
Keisha added: 'I went through a breakup. I never talk about my personal life, guys, but people don't know this, but I'm always in a relationship. I'm in very long relationships, whether it's six years, five years.

'Like, I don't really know what it is to be single. And for the first time, I am I've been single now for like I want to say like a good part of a year and a half. And this feels so weird because I don't know how to date.
'So, this is the phase that I'm in now. And you know, I'm hoping that I connect with the girlies who had everything written down that was like by this age I'm going to have this, I'm going to do this and everything else. And we're just out here still trying to figure it out.'
Keisha's video comes after the Sugababes joined fellow singers Macy Gray and Kimberley Walsh at Usher's star-studded final show at London's O2 Arena earlier this year, bringing his mammoth Past Present Future tour to its close.
The King of R&B, - whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV - finally completed his staggering tour, after wowing crowds with his hits like Yeah, Burn, U Remind Me and OMG since August.
Keisha, Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy were among the VIPs putting on edgy displays at the concert, before celebrating with Usher at his European tour wrap party at The Yeah Man.
Keisha appeared to have not aged a day since shooting to fame in the girl group over two decades ago, in an effortlessly stylish all-black ensemble.
She put on a leggy display in a tiny miniskirt teamed with a leather jacket and matching knee-high heeled boots.
Her long raven hair was styled sleek and straight, while she accentuated her ageless beauty with a light palette of radiant makeup.

Keisha posed alongside bandmate Mutya, 39, who cut a typically glamorous figure in a daringly short fluffy miniskirt and bejewelled boots.
Leaving little to the imagination, she paired her skirt with a sheer sparkly shirt with a plunging neckline, putting her ample cleavage on full display.
Meanwhile, Siobhán, 40, opted for a more understated outfit, looking on trend in a pair of black leather trousers with silver studded details.
She added a fashionable green bomber jacket over the top and trainers, while pulling her fiery red locks up into a chic updo.
R&B songstress Macy, 57, looked to be having a ball at the gig and afterparty, keeping comfy in a grey hoodie and brown oversized trousers.
While Girls Aloud star Kimberley, 43, opted for effortless sophistication in a chocolate brown blazer over a matching lowcut top.
The mother-of-three added simple blue jeans and trainers underneath, while giving her look some added glamour with gold earrings and a radiant face of makeup.
The Sugababes' appearance at the show comes after they embarked on a 'new chapter' and released their first single in two years.
In March, the trio revealed their new track Jungle marking their return, after parting ways with their record label BMG to go independent.
Sharing their elation at the new song, they said in a statement: 'We are so excited to release 'Jungle' and cement this new chapter for us, after what has been an incredible 3 years on the road.
'As soon as it was written, it felt like the perfect thing for people to hear first. A song about escaping the 9-5 grind, we hope everyone can let their inner animal out when they hear this!'

Thrill-seeker to attempt to ride 120 rollercoasters in UK in just over two weeks
Dean Stokes, 36, believes he will become the first person to achieve the feat if he can succeed in riding 120 coasters across 32 theme parks in 16 days, starting in Brighton and ending at Thorpe Park. Mr Stokes worked for five years at Google before leaving the corporate ladder to set up his own business delivering technology training, having grown tired of being unable to try new things. The former UK head of Google for Education decided to set up his own YouTube channel as part of his new work and has already seen his videos about his planned adventure viewed hundreds of thousands of times across social media platforms. As far as I know, I think I'll be the first person to do it – the only person mad enough to do it Dean Stokes Mr Stokes, from Brighton, in East Sussex, told his former Google colleague Simon Fasolo, 44, about his plan to travel the UK in pursuit of the aim. And Mr Fasolo, from Perth, Australia, decided it would be a great way to explore the country – despite hating rollercoasters himself and refusing to join his friend on the rides. The two will begin at Brighton Palace Pier, home to the Crazy Mouse and Turbo rollercoasters, and, according to the route map on the website, hope to have conquered four parks and eight rides in total by the end of the first day. Mr Stokes said: 'I've ridden over 100 rollercoasters in around 25 different theme parks across 10 different countries. 'But I still haven't actually ridden loads of rollercoasters in the UK, so I just thought, why not? 'One of the reasons I left the corporate world was to have a bit more variety in the work that I do and so starting the YouTube channel on the tech side was part of that. 'And I just thought, if I was going to make a channel that was completely different to that, what would it be? And it would probably be rollercoasters and theme parks because I'm a big fan. 'I've included every rollercoaster that's classed as a thrill or extreme rollercoaster, to avoid family and children's rides. But we plan to do all of them consecutively. 'As far as I know, I think I'll be the first person to do it – the only person mad enough to do it.' Mr Stokes said he is open to ideas or suggestions from his followers on social media of tasks within the challenge. The duo have booked around half of the hotels, and plan to travel in a hire car, but delays and unforeseen issues could lead to a stressful journey. He said: 'I think it's going to be quite a lot of stress at points, but I'm looking forward to it overall. 'On social media, I realised it was really resonating with people. 'I think people want to go out and have fun and I think that often we are too scared to get out and just do the things that we love, especially as adults. 'There's this whole community out there that loves theme parks, whether they're proper enthusiasts or just people that like going in the summer with their family, and they are now really excited to follow my progress.' I'm already looking for inspiration for my next challenge once it's complete – I think the natural next step would be to choose another country and do the same Dean Stokes He added: 'Someone commented and said it is the UK theme park enthusiast's dream. It might be difficult, so I'll have to decide whether it feels like a dream at the end of it or not. There are theme parks the two plan to visit across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they are planning on driving to Dublin for an extra set of rides in the Republic of Ireland. Mr Stokes is excited to support many of the amusement parks which are run as independent businesses, as well as visiting historic seaside resorts, such as Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, which is over a hundred years old. He has asked for permission to film for his YouTube, TikTok and Facebook, and a number of the theme parks have even offered him free tickets. Mr Stokes said: 'A lot of the parks have come back to me and are really on board with the whole idea. 'I need the good summer weather to continue, as I've only packed shorts and T-shirts, and one jacket. But if it all goes to plan, it should be a great trip 'And I'm already looking for inspiration for my next challenge once it's complete – I think the natural next step would be to choose another country and do the same. 'Germany has loads of world world-class theme parks, so we could go and do it there. 'But maybe it could be a country that I've never been to. I know Japan has a few theme parks that'd be cool to get around. But I'll do well to finish this challenge first.'

Mrs Brown's Boys viewers left in utter disbelief as controversial show returns to BBC
Fans have reacted sharply to the return of Mrs Brown's Boys, with many on social media branding it unfunny and questioning why it was ever commissioned BBC sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys returned to screens tonight for the start of its fifth full-length series, despite enduring a turbulent few years marked by falling ratings and a high-profile racism controversy involving its creator and star, Brendan O'Carroll. First aired in 2011, the comedy became a holiday fixture and enjoyed huge popularity in its early years. Its 2013 Christmas Day special drew 11.52 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched festive programmes of the decade. However, viewership has steadily declined. The show last appeared in the top ten on Christmas Day in 2020, attracting 3.8 million viewers. It comes after Brendan, 69, finally announced the future of Mrs Brown to fans. The series has long divided audiences and critics, and was recently labelled the 'worst ever BBC show' by some viewers on social media. Comments on X during tonight's broadcast included: 'Worst programme in human history should've never been commissioned' and 'Just speechless… I honestly don't know one person who thinks this show is remotely funny.' Another insisted: "This show needs to be axed asap. It's not one bit funny." Someone else fumed: "I actually hate this show with a passion and I'm Irish and from Dublin and I GET that kind of sense of humour." In 2023, Mrs Brown's Boys faced further scrutiny after O'Carroll made a racial slur during rehearsals for the Christmas special. Crew members were reportedly 'shocked' by the remark and lodged complaints with BBC bosses. The broadcaster suspended production and launched an investigation. O'Carroll later apologised, expressing 'deep regret' over what he called a 'clumsy attempt at a joke.' Speaking publicly about the incident for the first time on Irish YouTube programme Conversations With Gerry Kelly, O'Carroll claimed his words had been 'completely taken out of context.' He also argued that the episode ultimately had a positive impact. 'The one thing that that incident did is give great awareness about racism, and great awareness about the BBC, they don't take any messing… However, I think in the long run it was a good thing, because it got people talking about it.' O'Carroll, who has won the National Television Award for Best Comedy six times for Mrs Brown's Boys, has made it clear he is unfazed by negative feedback. 'The ones that love me, I love them, and the ones that don't, f*** them,' he told Kelly, adding that those who dislike the show should simply 'pick up the remote and change the station.' Despite its dwindling audience, the series maintains a loyal fan base and continues to be a fixture in the BBC's comedy line-up. The new series, which began tonight, marks a fresh chapter for the show as it seeks to recapture some of its former success in the face of ongoing criticism.

'Molly-Mae Hague's parenting woes are tougher than most - she shouldn't be shamed for it'
EXCLUSIVE: Former Love Island star and mum-of-one Molly-Mae Hague says she's overwhelmed by motherhood amid backlash - but experts have urged fans to be empathic over critical Reality star and influencer Molly-Mae Hague has recently revealed the intense challenges she is facing as a mother, openly sharing moments of emotional strain as she navigates parenthood with two-year-old daughter Bambi. The former Love Island star, 26, welcomed Bambi with partner Tommy Fury in 2023, but Molly-Mae has been faced with seemingly endless challenges since. However, an expert has insisted that her candidness offers an important reminder of the realities many new parents endure but are rarely seen or discussed publicly. In a recent tearful video, Molly-Mae spoke about feeling overwhelmed amid the pressures of raising her daughter Bambi, particularly as she goes through what many know as the "terrible twos." It comes after Molly-Mae sobbed in a YouTube video after she was called 'out of touch' by fans. The 25-year-old said: 'I just feel overwhelmed. I feel like my brain is jumbled, and I don't feel like myself anymore.' She described the exhaustion and mental load that come with constant parenting demands, admitting that motherhood has been far tougher than she anticipated. The video struck a chord with many parents, who praised her honesty, though it also drew criticism from others who accused her of being 'out of touch' due to her high-profile lifestyle and for being "too soft" when Bambi throws her tantrums. However, behavioural experts say Molly-Mae's experience is far from unusual and stresses the importance of compassion in tough parenting situations like hers. Dr. Hannah Richards, a behavioural psychologist specialising in parental wellbeing, told The Mirror: "Parenthood is a profound psychological and emotional transition. "Feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt are common, especially during challenging developmental stages like the toddler years. For public figures like Molly-Mae, the scrutiny intensifies the pressure, making it harder to cope." Dr. Richards points out that societal expectations often create an unrealistic picture of motherhood as always joyful and as easy as it looks. 'The truth is much more complex. Parenting involves highs and lows, and being honest about struggles is crucial to breaking down stigma.' Molly-Mae's decision to share her vulnerability publicly is helping to broaden conversations about the true nature of parenting. 'It's okay not to have everything figured out,' she recently said, encouraging others to be open about their difficulties. Her experience with Bambi's 'terrible twos', which is a stage marked by increased independence and testing behaviours, can be challenging for any parent says Dr. Richards. "This developmental phase can push parents to their limits, and admitting to struggles is a sign of strength, not weakness," she says. Despite the huge backlash from thousands of fans, other supporters applauded Molly-Mae for shedding light on the emotional realities many parents face in private. One fan commented: "Seeing her be so honest helps people understand they're not alone in feeling overwhelmed." Another echoed: "She's literally a 26-year-old girl trying to navigate being in the public eye, being a businesswoman, and being a mum. Give her some grace." As more public figures like Molly-Mae share their honest journeys, mental health professionals are hoping that society will grow more empathetic and supportive toward new parents. 'Instead of judging, we should offer understanding and compassion," Dr. Richards concludes. "Parenthood is one of life's most demanding transitions and everyone deserves support. People shouldn't judge Molly-Mae for being honest."
