Sugababe Jade Ewen was so nervous about filming the suggestive video for the group's new single 'Freedom' that she had to indulge in a bit of liquid confidence to get the scenes done. 

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, the girls revealed that band mate Heidi Range persuaded Ewen to have a "wee tipple' in order to loosen up enough for the raunchy shoot:

"On the video shoot, Jade was nervous about having to do a sexy scene, so Heidi suggested she had a wee tipple to help her loosen up. She doesn’t drink very often, so she ended up a little squiffy on set."

They also admitted that their second single from the new record should be 'Hard' and they are trying to get their label to agree with the decision because it's a relatable anthem:

"If we get our way, the second single from the new album will be 'Hard'."

"You might think it’s a singalong but when you start listening to the lyrics you think: “Hang on a minute, it’s a cool concept. It’s called 'Hard' because its about a girl who’s been hurt in a relationship, then got into a new one and will only give so much. "

"It’s saying: 'If you’re not able to give me 100% I’ll go back to being hard, being the ice queen, keeping you at arm’s length.'"
