It seems that the newest Sugalady has a bit of a thing about spicing up her love-life with what Madonna would call "a good spanky" (and when she sang that, she wasn't talking about disciplining Lourdes).

Or, to put it into totally blunt language, as Amelle did when she told Now magazine, "a bit of a*** whipping - there's nothing wrong with that!"

And it looks like Amelle banging on about being banged on is catching. To such a degree that her bandmate Keisha has been trying to spread the word to other girlbands, like it's an epidemic or something.

Keisha said: "I have a little crush on Cheryl and Ashley as a couple. They are lovely. I bought Cheryl a diamond-encrusted whip from Agent Provocateur for their honeymoon."

Seriously? Those diamonds are gonna HUUURT...
