JADE reveals she was “devastated” to not get the part of Princess Jasmine in Disney’s live-action ‘Aladdin’, sharing why the character had been so meaningful to her as a young girl of Arab heritage: “I got down to the last few [auditionees]. I sent a letter once I knew they’d reached out, saying that Jasmine was sort of my idol growing up. She was the only character I could really look up to as someone of Arab heritage. There wasn’t a lot of positive representation at the time, so Princess Jasmine was who I dreamed of being. I said that to the casting director. I did three rounds of auditions. I sang ‘A Whole New World’ in Guy Ritchie’s living room, which was very strange. [Laughs] That’s just showbiz, right? I didn’t get the part and that’s fine. But I was quite sad for some time, definitely. I was gutted, I can’t lie.”

Asked about her “toxic” relationship and “hellish” breakup with Zayn, Perrie sheds some light on what she went through but stresses there’s still “so much” she’ll never share: “I need to be careful how I say this, but… Let’s just say there was… There was a bit of an overlap. When you’re the one left behind, it’s hard. Because it’s like, ‘Shit, they’ve left me for someone more beautiful than me, someone better than me…’ That’s how it felt at the time. Then you have a song they’ve written about you, but then someone else is in the video… It was one thing after the other after the other. I remember finding out about that. I’d just moved into my little bungalow in Surrey because I was trying to get as far away as I could, and I just remember finding out about that. I thought, ‘This is all getting a bit much…’, and then I started crying my eyes out. And then my dad started crying and he was like, ‘I don’t know how I can take this pain away,’ and I’m like, ‘Nobody can! This is hellish! Like… What is going on?!” It was really one thing after the other. And there’s so much that people don’t know about that I would never say, even though I just spilled some beans. But there’s so much that went into it [and] that I went through that I would never talk about, and it was real hard. So that’s probably why I get a bit frustrated at times [when people tell her not to talk about her experience].”

Jordan Stephens addresses the reaction to him saying he loves his ex-girlfriend Jade while accepting Attitude’s Ally Of The Year award, saying he “can’t understand” why people find it unusual to love an ex. He reflects on why he “obviously [still] loves Jade” after their “incredible” time together, and shares why he thinks people should embrace love “in all of its different forms”: “Initially, on receiving the [Ally Of The Year] award, when I was told, I immediately thought, ‘Wow, Jade’s won that award.’ Obviously, Jade is one of the proudest and loudest allies to the queer community and has been her entire career. [Her entire] life, really. But especially in her career, she’s utilised her platform. At one point, in quite a badass way. [Little Mix] put up a Pride flag in a country where it’s very illegal, so they’re kind of gangster. So I was like, ‘I need to mention Jade.’ I need to at least acknowledge that a big part of my allyship has been by being alongside her. But when it came down to it, I hadn’t written a script. I just really wanted to finish by acknowledging Jade. Then apparently, some people have run with this idea that I said, ‘I love Jade,’ which… like, I really can’t understand that people think me saying I love Jade, with her not being my partner, is unusual. I can’t begin to get into how distant I feel from that mentality in life. That, to me, is indicative of a world I don’t want to be part of. Like, obviously I love Jade! Well, not obviously, sorry. [Some] people have big arguments, people can do each other wrong, I get that… But there should also be a very open space where people can acknowledge, ‘I’ve had an incredible time with this person, and I adore them, and that just won’t change.’” [Miquita: “Well, I think it’s just so indicative to the breakup. You and Jade’s relationship ended in a very different way to, ‘I hate you, I never want to speak to you again, get the fuck away from me.’ It’s a very different kind of thing. It’s two people growing.”] “Yeah. In a nutshell, it’s confusing because… I don’t know, man… For a lot of the time, I was unsure how to avoid there being too many specifics [about the breakup]. There should be some protection. But I think what I’m trying to say is, what I said [in the speech] was *literally* from the heart – because I hadn’t written it [laughs] – and acknowledging somebody who’s massive in [the LGBTQ+] space… It was very weird for me, honestly, being at those awards without her, because she really does stand up for that whole scene and loves it, and is around [it a lot]. A lot of the people there, I met [through her]. …I just feel like we should be trying to love more and not policing that term.” [Miquita: “Yeah, because it’s just a load of people going, ‘What?! You’ve had a breakup! You can’t love her anymore!’ The world is so much more complicated than that. And the most simple part is: ‘Where do you think love goes?’”] “Yeah. I really think we should be trying our best to hold on to that feeling in all of its different forms. It’s difficult to navigate how I feel about my life and myself in a world that runs with these bizarre rules and stories. However, I will also say, a lot of people just said it’s respectful, it’s bless, and then they kept moving. I think [some] people were just salacious.”

When asked if she thinks she’ll ever rekindle her friendship with Jesy, Perrie says she’ll “always love her” but no longer wants to reconcile after feeling hurt by her documentary: “If I’m being completely transparent, part of me wanted to… until her documentary. Then part of me withdrew again. This is the thing: I’m not a horrible person, I haven’t got a [malicious] bone in my body, but I can cut you off. [Laughs] If you upset me and hurt me in a way [where] there’s not really any going back, I can forgive, but I don’t want you in my space. This is what I’m learning in therapy: there’s capability and there’s capacity. I only have a certain amount that I can cram in – I have my career, my relationship, my friends, things going on… personal things, public things, everything. I don’t have the capacity for somebody like that in my life anymore. That might make me sound like a bitch, but I just don’t have the energy for it. As much as I will always love her, I don’t think I can hack that energy in my space. You can’t fix people. They’re set in their ways – and clearly they don’t think there’s anything wrong with [those ways] – so you think, ‘Okay! You do you and I’ll do me and that’s that.’”

Leigh-Anne on who she was closest to on #CelebrityTraitors: “Oh my gosh, Romesh, Rob… they made me laugh SO much. Obsessed with them… Me and Michael Sheen – love him. Honestly, I felt like he looked after me. He was so lovely… And Julie, I loved. Maya! We’d only really bumped into each other at events and things, never really got to know each other. Absolutely love her. Myha’la as well! I was gutted when she went. Loved her.”

JADE says she feels like her solo achievements are also Little Mix’s achievements, and expresses frustration that they weren’t always given the opportunities they deserved: “It feels so amazing to be recognised in those spaces as a solo artist, like the Mercury’s, being invited to perform at Glastonbury… all these [opportunities] that me and the [Little Mix] girls would never have got before. And it’s not because we weren’t good enough – I think, even ten years ago, pop was very much still shunned or seen as a guilty pleasure. Especially for girl groups. We were always the dark horses, we were always having to prove why we deserved a seat at the table, it was always a push. And even then, as we’re seeing now, years later people are like, ‘Oh, Touch is actually one of the best pop songs of all time!’ It’s like, ‘Yeah! Yeah, it is!’ [Laughs] ‘I’ve BEEN saying that!’ Me and the girls worked so, so hard. And when we finally got the BRIT Award for Best Group, it was insane that it had taken so long to get to that point. When I get these new opportunities, it does almost feel like I’m getting the flowers not just for me, but for Little Mix, and ticking off the things that we couldn’t do… Even doing the US tour this year – any Little Mix fans know the lore that we nearly did a [US] tour [but] it got cancelled, many many years ago. It’s been one of the biggest – I wouldn’t say regret, because it’s not *my* regret – it wasn’t my decision! But it’s been one of the things that pissed me off the most with opportunities that were missed for us, because I really do believe that Little Mix should have been humongous in the US. We were always so close to it. And just worldwide, I think we deserved to be one of the biggest of all time… We kind of are in terms of accolades and sales and stuff, but… When I was doing my own shows and festivals this year, [in] places that I’d not been before or for so long, when the Little Mix medley comes on, people go crazy for it. All these places that we didn’t get to go to properly, and they’re all craving it. It’s cool now to see other, newer girl groups doing well and receiving the praise they deserve and getting the opportunities they deserve. That makes me feel really proud actually.” (Via The Pop Pod with Sam Murphy:

🚨 #CelebrityTraitors spoilers (Uncloaked Episode 5 of 10) Rob Beckett on why he sacrificed the shield for Leigh-Anne: “I can’t in good faith allow a member of Little Mix, and now an unbelievable solo artist in Leigh-Anne Pinnock, go into a crypt alone in the middle of the night without a key. First of all, I’m a gentleman. Secondly, imagine the hate from the Mixers! I don’t need the Mixers on my case because I left Leigh-Anne out in the cold!”

Perrie says her current relationship is “the reverse” of her previous relationship, as they “very rarely argue” and she no longer feels like she has to “walk on eggshells”: “Little things might happen and I’d think, ‘Oh no, he’s gonna kick off.’ One point, my ex reached out, and I didn’t know how to the handle the situation cause I’d been with Alex for like, a year-and-a-half/two years. I remember sweating and panicking, thinking, ‘I’ve got to tell him that I spoke to him’, and I remember being terrified. I told him everything and he was like, ‘Okay, well I really appreciate you telling me. Thank you for letting me know. That’s fine.’ And that was it. He’s always been like that, and I think I needed that.”

Perrie says she’s “sad” she couldn’t enjoy her pregnancy with Alanis because she was too “on edge” following her two miscarriages: “When I was pregnant with Alanis, I was just on edge the whole time. All I did was eat. I gained 4.5 stone of comfort food. Every appointment, my stomach felt like it was doing somersaults. Every appointment wasn’t enjoyable. And that upsets me, because I love being pregnant. I love the feeling of it, I love carrying a baby. I feel powerful, I feel untouchable. It’s wild how you feel. I’m sad that during the pregnancy, I didn’t get to enjoy it fully until the very end, because I was just always on edge.“

Perrie discusses ‘Gabriela’ by KATSEYE: “You know that was meant to be a Little Mix song? I was obsessed with it. And we passed on it. Well… one of us did. Not me, not JADE, not Leigh-Anne… But [KATSEYE] smash it, I’m glad they got it! But we loved that song so much.”

Perrie opens up for the first time about experiencing two miscarriages and losing a baby 6 months into pregnancy: “The first time it happened, I think because it was so early, I was like, ‘Aw, that's sad’. But I think when you're fully carrying and you’re 24 weeks and you've planned out that room and all these things, it's really hard. I’ve never spoken about it before because I end up a wreck. Nobody knows other than immediate friends and family. And I remember shortly after, friends would message and be like, ‘How's bump?’ And I'd be like, ‘There isn’t one.’ It was just a lot.”

JADE describes the “nerdy” approach she took to writing Little Mix’s DNA: “DNA was our second single. I remember writing it very well. I was only 18 or 19 and I’d just come out of college, so I was very much in student-mode. I literally drew a body and [labelled] all the words and terms of the body to figure out what lyrics to put in the song – which is very [nerdy] of me, but I've always been a bit like that. I treat everything like a school project!”
