The original Sugababes have reportedly secured a £1m record deal.

The trio have signed to Polydor Records - home to Take That and Lady GaGa - as they prepare for their comeback.

Rumours that the band were reforming surfaced last year when it was claimed that Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy were working on new material together.

It has since been confirmed that the girls have recorded a song written by Emeli Sandé. MNEK, Asterix, Craze & Hoax, Tanika, Mojam and Naughty Boy are also said to be involved with the project.

"They've been working on new material all year with some high-profile songwriters and producers," a source told The Sun.

"The label have started to pick tracks they think will help them be as big as they once were. This is a huge sign the industry thinks they've still got it."

The band are yet to decide what they'll be called since they don't own the rights to the Sugababes name. Buena won the rights to the name last year but the EU trademark only covers "paper, cardboard... stationery, paper gift wrap and paper gift wrapping ribbons".

Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen make up the current Sugababes.

Recent reports have indicated that the original Sugababes will release a single in the summer and a new album in the autumn.

So delighted

[Shaun]

I can't tell if this is an April Fool or not everyone on the NME website seems to think it is. Would love it if it weren't, though

So what will they call themselves? The Saltybabes =P

[Z]

Personally I think they'll be trying to get the name Sugababes back in a bidding war, and if not then potentially something like MuSiKe (Mutya Siobhan Keisha) or 1.0 or "The Originals" or something like that. People are still going to refer to them as 'the original Sugababes' so I'd be surprised if the new name has nothing to do with the name Sugababes. Perhaps "One Touch" after their debut album, or "Overload" after their debut single.

Or perhaps they could get away with Sugarbabes

Would be funny if they called themselves ''The Actual Sugababes'' or something like that

What I really, really hope is that they don't sing any old Sugababes songs other than those from One Touch. It would cheapen the whole thing if they sang any 2.0 and beyond songs.

Oh, thought that was one of their original songs, but it has that Heidi in it

One Touch + Mutya's solo work > all of Sugababes 2/3/4

[Harry!]

Whether they keep the original name or not, imagine the fuss it will cause on last.fm RE Tag correctness obsessives.
