Perrie Edwards is about to jet off on her last romantic getaway of the year with her beau Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

And it looks as though the pair had the best time while waiting for take off, as the star shared an impromptu photoshoot from the plane.

Posing for her man, Perrie slayed in a full face of makeup and bobble hat, as she held a glass of bubbly up to the camera.

She then stuck her tongue out to the footballer, while resting her head in her hand with her leg propped up on a little shelf.

The loved up duo were enjoying their first class lives as they flicked through the film section on their mini TV screen.

After what Alex declared as ‘ten minutes’, they’d finally landed on Roger Rabbit.

Zooming into the movie, the 25-year-old captioned the clip: ‘What an anticlimax,’ before telling his gal to ‘grow up.’

Flicking her hair, the Little Mix star smirked as she replied: ‘No,’ and the pair set off laughing.

Both Perrie and Alex enjoyed their Christmas together, and gave fans a sneak peek into their special day.

Posing in a jumper made for two, the Shout Out To My Ex songstress had ‘I’ve been naughty’ written across her half of the shirt, while Alex had: ‘I’ve been nice.’

Writing alongside the picture, the 25-year-old said: ‘Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year!

‘Not for the presents or the food (which OBV I adore) but for the love I have around me.’

She added: ‘I feel so blessed and lucky! I love and appreciate you all so much! Merry Christmas everyone! Spread love and be merry!’

The couple later shared a picture of themselves fast asleep on the couch after eating their Christmas dinner.

Perrie said in the caption: ‘Isn’t this the best feeling when you’ve eat so much you nap straight after?’

Yes Perrie, yes it is.

Perrie Edwards and her beau Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have jetted off on their last romantic holiday of the year.

And while they enjoy some quality time together, it seems the 25-year-old has set aside a couple of minutes for her footballer boyfriend to take all of the shots for the gram.

Dressed in a green bikini and a matching floaty jacket, the Little Mix star strutted her stuff as if she were on a catwalk outside of what appeared to be a holiday villa.

As she got closer to her man, she paused and started to strike her best model poses, by holding onto her straw hat and bag.

She joked about her beau getting ‘sick’ of taking pics for the gram (Picture: @perrieedwards)

In the caption the Shout Out To My Ex songstress joked: ‘Wondering how long it will take for Alex Oxlade-Chamerblain to get sick of taking photos.’

Complimenting the star on her look, fans were quick to comment and called her body a ‘work of art.’

One teased: ‘what a Perrie Kardashian?’ while another added: ‘Wasn’t ready for this GURL.’

Both Perrie and Alex have been documenting their time away, and took to Instagram only yesterday to share their first class journey with their fans.

Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had just about the most glam NYE ever.

The Little Mix singer looked right at home with a private dinner table on the beach, while her footballer beau took yet more snaps of her enjoying their plush post-Christmas getaway.

Toasting champagne in lieu of a starter, Perrie got into the festive spirit in a festive blue feathered mask to offset her classic NYE LBD.

She picked the perfect black sparkly dress, with deeply plunging neckline, to suit the festivities while he layered up in a denim jacket, roll neck jumper and retro, tinted specs.

Fireworks over the water capped off their evening and brought them into 2019 in serious style.

Perrie and beau Alex, who will celebrate their second anniversary in January, jetted off to an exotic location last Friday after spending Christmas together.

While they haven’t revealed the luxurious location, Alex has willingly accepted the role of personal photographer to Ms Perrie Edwards, in the absence of the paps.

Already, the stunning blonde has treated her followers to a smoking bikini snap, liked by almost one million people.

During their beach break, footballer Alex hasn’t taken his eyes of the prize of returning to his beloved Liverpool team in 2019, following a knee injury.

Early on Tuesday morning – New Year’s Day – the pro footy star was back in the gym and working on his recovery.

Alex has been sidelined since April but rang in New Year saying he was ‘full of positivity’ for the road ahead.

Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be the new Posh and Becks – albeit without the sarongs and bodycon dresses.

The Little Mix star and her beau have made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, because staying at home and watching PMQs is boring, dahling.

Perrie, 25, was pictured attending the Off-White men’s show with her boyfriend, and they were every inch the high-fashion pairing.

Liverpool star Alex wore a Supreme t-shirt beneath a grey jacket, teamed with jeans and trainers.

Meanwhile, his popstar girlfriend looked chic in a pinstripe blazer over a matching romper, trainers and round Chanel sunglasses.

The couple, who have been dating since late 2016, were pictured laughing as they arrived at the show, before striking a pose for the waiting paps.

Their outing comes after Little Mix were confirmed to be performing at the Brit Awards next month.

The Strip singers are nominated for Best British Group and British Artist Video for Woman Like Me at the event.

The Brits attract some of music’s biggest stars – and Perrie got a taster of that at Paris Fashion Week, as celebs including Offset attended the Off-White show.

Cardi B’s ex-husband and Migos rapper Offset was pictured with Playboi Carti backstage, before he walked in the Off-White show wearing a floor-length lilac duffel coat.

Other stars seen at the show included G-Eazy, Madison Beer and J Balvin.

However, Perrie’s Little Mix bandmates weren’t present.

Jade Thirlwall is holidaying with boyfriend Jed Elliott in Thailand, Leigh Anne-Pinnock has been sunning herself in Jamaica, while Jesy Nelson shared Instagram stories signalling she’s in the UK.

Jesy Nelson and Chris Hughes were spotted kissing recently, sending fans into meltdown over a potential new relationship.

And the Little Mix singer’s bandmate, Perrie Edwards, remained all sorts of coy when asked about their rumoured romance.

During a chat on Capital Radio’s Breakfast Show, Roman Kemp asked the Think About Us singer exactly what was going on between the pair.

Not wasting any time, he said: ‘There was a rumour that there’s a new man in Jesy’s life, a friend of the show, Mr Chris Hughes?’

Perrie Edwards remained coy over the rumoured relationship (Picture: WireImage)

When she laughed off the question, he continued: ‘We all saw the photo… Have you met Chris?’

‘Nope, I haven’t,’ the X Factor star admitted. ‘He seems really nice but I can’t spill the beans on my best friend I’m afraid.’

So that’s that then…

Perrie’s words come after Jesy and Chris were caught kissing in a kebab shop, after a swanky night out at The Cauldron, a Harry Potter themed bar.

As you do.

Chris revealed he is enjoying himself amid their ‘romance’ (Picture: WireImage)

‘They couldn’t keep their greasy mitts off one another,’ a source told The Sun at the time. ‘They kept pausing mid-sentence to snog, and were really affectionate. It may be early days but there’s definitely a real spark.

‘They are taking things slowly for now but it could become something more serious,’ another insider told the publication.

The Woman Like Me singer, who previously dated Harry James, has kept quiet about the speculation so far.

While the reality star also couldn’t be drawn on his personal life, simply stating he was ‘enjoying what he’s doing’.

When asked if he was single, Chris – who was a runner-up on Love Island with ex Olivia Attwood – told The Sun: ‘I’m just happy with myself at the minute.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Jesy’s reps for a comment.

Perrie Edwards has revealed that Little Mix practise their losing face for awards show because it can ‘hurt your soul’.

Admitting that the girls are always left disappointed when they don’t win an award they are nominated for, Perrie also joked that at least they’d had a lot of experience thanks to their time on The X Factor.

The band are nominated for best video and best group at the 2019 Brit Awards but she said that ‘it actually really hurts your soul when you go to these things and you don’t win’.

‘I know we practise the whole “we didn’t win, but congratulations”. When really on the inside we’re thinking “Dammit!”‘

Speaking on Kiss Breakfast on Wednesday, she also added that their time on X Factor made them ‘pros’ at the particular face needed when you want to cry but have to maintain composure.

Anne-Marie and Dua Lipa are among the most decorated nominees at this year’s Brit Awards, with the pair coming out on top with four nominations apiece.

Anne-Marie has landed nods for British female and British album for Speak Your Mind, while 2002 is up for British single and British video.

Dua has four nominations a year after an epic Brits performance (Picture: WireImage)

Meanwhile, Dua’s IDGAF and her collaboration with Calvin Harris, One Kiss, are both up for British single and British video.

Jorja Smith follows closely behind with three nods, while Jess Glynne has two solo nods – as well as being a featured artist on Rudimental’s These Days.

Little Mix go up against Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, Gorillaz, and Years & Years for British group, and Anne-Marie, Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Clean Bandit, Jax Jones, Jonas Blue, Liam Payne and Rita Ora for video.

Perrie Edwards failed to leave Kiss FM studios unnoticed after attempting to hide her face from the crowds on her way to her ride.

The 25-year-old pulled the collar of her coat up around her mouth as she made a dash for it to the car.

But despite trying to sneak out of the building, she was snapped by paparazzi – who totally killed her ‘incognito’ vibe.

Her Little Mix gal pals, however, were less afraid of being spotted from their time at the station, as they beamed at the cameras while leaving the building.

They appeared to be in high spirits after hanging out together, but quickly disappeared into their black four-by-fours.

The group recently announced a new European tour, where they’ll be travelling to six different countries before returning to the UK.

However, the news was bitter sweet for Mixers, as they were left disappointed by the girls cancelling their Aberdeen show – which was set to take place later this year.

Taking to Twitter, The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) told fans that due to ‘unforeseen logistical issues,’ the show had been called off.

A statement from the group’s representative read: ‘Due to unforeseen logistical issues Little Mix have unfortunately had to cancel their Aberdeen show, scheduled for 4th October 2019.

‘The band are really disappointed to not be able to make the show.’

Making a further comment to Metro.co.uk, they added that the girls are ‘looking forward to seeing their Scottish fans at their three Glasgow Hydro shows.’

And went on to reassure everyone that ‘refunds are available from point of purchase.’

Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock announced their new tour, which sees them head to Belfast just two days after they were supposed to appear in Aberdeen.

When telling fans the news, the singers wrote on Twitter: ‘MORE TOUR DATES!! Your girls are coming to Europe. Tickets on sale next week! Keep your eyes peeled on our website.’

Liam Payne made a shock appearance on The Greatest Dancer on Saturday night during Froback’s performance and it was awkward AF.

The former One Direction star, who’s recently been linked to Naomi Campbell, was roped into the BBC show alongside Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards and Robbie Williams by ex-girlfriend Cheryl as part of her groups performance.

Appearing on a giant screen via FaceTime, Cheryl answered the call and without greeting singer, Liam asked: ‘Chez, can you put Frobacks on please?’

While the audience gasped at Liam’s shade, Cheryl gave an award-worthy eye-roll and passed the phone over.

Liam had a message for Frobacks (Picture: BBC)

Addressing the dance troupe, Liam said: ‘You guys are killing it.I’d love to teach you tricks some time, so make sure you get my number off Chez, okay?’

Perrie and Robbie also made cameos with messages of support for Frobacks as part of their social networking themed routine, however the dance failed to wow captains Oti Mabuse and Matthew Morrison.

‘Every time the phone went off, it stopped everything,’ said Matthew. ‘It was distracting and it took away from the dance.’

Cheryl didn’t agree and said: ‘We socially networked. I did pull in a few favours, but they are genuine fans. These challenges are doing what they intended to do.’

Liam and Cheryl, who share son Bear, announced their split back in July 2018, with Chezza tweeting: ‘We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways.

‘It’s been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.’

Viewers were stunned to see Liam in action

The Greatest Dancer airs Saturdays at 7.35pm on BBC One.

Little Mix were all about the thigh action on the Brits 2019 red carpet with the four-piece girl band serving some serious looks. There were also some new additions to the group with each member bringing their boyfriends as dates for the evening.

The Woman Like Me singers glammed up to the nines with each singer wearing floor-length gowns as they arrived at London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday evening.

Perrie Edwards donned a strapless midnight blue gown while Jesy Nelson opted for lace, Jade Thirlwall dazzled in a sheer white dress and Leigh-Anne showed off her abs in a green two-piece, with three of the popstars sporting thigh-high side splits.

Leigh-Anne, 27, clearly wanted to share the special night with her other-half as brought her footballer boyfriend, Andre, along for the star-studded evening, while Jade, 26, packed on the PDA and shared kisses with her boyfriend, Jed Elliott.

Perrie, 25, also posed for photos with her beau Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Jesy invited a female friend along for the fun.

It’s set to be a big night for the Little Mix ladies who are nominated for British group and British artist video of the year for their Nicki Minaj collaboration Woman Like Me.

Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have been total couple goals since they first started dating, back in 2016.

But are the pair about to take things to the next level?

It has been claimed the Liverpool footballer revealed he is thinking about proposing to the Little Mix singer in the near future.

Honestly, we need an invite to that wedding so much.

In a chat with the Sun recently, the 25-year-old was asked if he was planning on ‘putting a ring on it’ – and he reportedly ‘smiled as he nodded his head while winking’.

Alex hinted he was thinking about proposing to Perrie (Picture: Rex)

Which is about as close to a yes as you can get.

Palex – or Alerrie, as fans have dubbed them – were first spotted together at the end of 2016, but didn’t make things Instagram official until a few months later.

Their romance came over a year after Perrie called off her engagement to Zayn Malik, following a four-year relationship.

And, while the couple have been living their best lives ever since – sunning themselves on romantic getaways and enjoying the football together – the Woman Like Me singer revealed things nearly came to a very abrupt end over a board game.

Fair enough, to be honest.

While hosting a Christmas Day show with her bandmates, Pezza, 25, confessed herself and the England ace got into an almighty row while playing Articulate, on a date night.

‘My relationship with Alex neatly came to an end because of this game,’ she recalled.

‘We had date night, it was competitive, it got out of hand and I swear to god I thought he was going to dump me. And I thought I was going to dump him.’

When Leigh-Anne asked in surprise if the footballer was competitive, Perrie added: ‘He’s the worst, you think I’m competitive, you should meet him. It was horrendous.

‘I honestly couldn’t look at him so let’s hope this doesn’t end the band.’

Can someone just take board games off the Little Mix rider?

Metro.co.uk has contacted Alex’s reps for a comment.

Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards has leaked a song from the band’s upcoming fifth studio album LM5.

It’s basically what all fans have been looking for but we bet they did not expect their lucky day to come from an accidental post on Instagram.

The singer shared a video on the social media app of her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain busting a move – while driving – to a track from the album.

While we don’t recommend driving around a bend while dancing, the song is as catchy AF and the 90 seconds that we heard has left us itching for more from the girl group.

And we want it asap!

The star then shared a screengrab to her Instagram story showing a direct message conversation she had with a follower telling her she had gone viral for leaking the song.

She captioned it ‘just giving you what you want… right?’

Damn, right.

Just give us what we want (Picture: Instagram/ Perrie Edwards)

Perrie later tweeted on the Little Lix Twitter account: ‘I’m probably gunna get in trouble for my insta story.’

The group has been teasing their fans with this fifth album – but this latest tease has really hit the spot, to be honest.

With their release date just around the corner, the girls took to the stage at the BBC 1 Teen Awards this weekend and belted out their new hit Woman Like Me.

The girls put on their best dance moves as they opened their set with Touch before breaking into their new hit.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement over the performance and took to Twitter to rave over the band.

One wrote: ‘Shoutout to @LittleMix. I’ve already listen to your new single “Woman Like Me”. I do love the song very much and it was an amazing song. Nice one.

‘Keep that up. Love y’all so much, babies and y’all should know that.’

Someone else commented: ‘Little Mix were worth all the nerves of not actually being a teen. QUEENS.’

The girls then went onto with the Best British Group Award, where they thanked their Mixers for all of their support.

Jesy Nelson took centre stage and spoke on behalf of the group, who surrounded their pal as she gave her speech.

After thanking her team, the 27-year-old said: ‘And most of all, our incredible Mixers. You guys are literally the best fans in the world.

‘We love you so much, and thank you so much for all of the support you’ve given us over the past seven years.’

She added: ‘We love you so much.’

Earlier this week, Littthe girls spoke about their upcoming album and revealed that they hope it resonates with the LGBT community.

Jade Thirlwall told Star Magazine: ‘We definitely had our LGBTQ fan base in mind when writing this album.

‘There are a couple of songs on there that are about loving yourself and there are a few references to being gay.’

She added: ‘Whenever I go on a gay night out, I tend to get a bit swamped, but everyone’s lovely.

‘It’s really nice. It’s like being around family and I think that’s why I’ve sort of been drawn to that community a lot.’

Little Mix insist that they asked Nicki Minaj to feature on their new track Woman Like Me – before Cardi B.

The group insist that they asked the Anaconda hitmaker to join them on Woman Like Me first, after Cardi B claimed otherwise

The feud between Nicki and Cardi has been reignited over who was asked to feature on Little Mix’s recent single first – and we did not see Little Mix getting involved. But here we are.

In a video on her Instagram, Cardi boasted: ‘Then, that Woman Like Me record … Yeah I had to decline it because I’m doing a lot of pop records so I can’t over exaggerate myself but that came to me first.’

Responding, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson contradicted her statement, saying: ‘Sorry Cardi hun but this is the tea. We’ve always wanted the queen (no shade).’

They clarified their comments by tweeting a longer statement, saying: ‘We went with Nicki because like we’ve said over the years, it’s been a dream of ours to work with her since the beginning.’

Adding fuel to the fire, Nicki then tweeted about Cardi, saying: ‘The only rapper in the history of rap who can only talk about deals and songs she’s supposedly turned down cuz she can’t talk about a verse she’s ever written. Fkn fraud.’

She also retweeted some fans’ comments mocking Cardi B.

The discussion ended with Nicki writing on Twitter: ‘Ok you guys, let’s focus on positive things only from here on out…I know this stuff is entertaining & funny to a lot of people but I won’t be discussing this nonsense anymore.’

Cardi agreed on Instagram, writing: ‘Alright then! Let’s keep it positive and keep it pushing!’

Woman Like Me was released on 12 October.

Little Mix have been particularly praised for the music video, released on 25 October, which shows the girls rejecting stereotypes about women.

Even Perrie Edwards knows she really sucks at somersaults as she channels Lara Croft in backstage video

Perrie Edwards, what a joker.

The singer shouldn’t quit her day job as she tried to channel Lara Croft on Friday, showing us just what she gets up to as Little Mix warm up back stage.

Perrie, 25, clad in a crop and khaki military-style pants and boots, attempted to show off her best moves as she fooled around in the girl’s dressing room – but it turns out she’s really quite rubbish at somersaults.

Or whatever it was she was trying to do.

In clips uploaded to her Instagram stories on Friday night, the Shout Out To My Ex singer pretended her hands were guns as she threw some shapes, before getting down on the ground and attempting to do a roll.

Perrie prepped for her roll (Picture: Instagram)
It didn’t go as planned (Picture: Instagram)

It failed miserably.

Getting up to give it another go, the star tried her best to ace it the second time – making a little more progress than attempt number one.

Still, she knew her efforts left a lot to the imagination and Lara Croft – the computer game icon come action hero who has been played by both Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander – would be hanging her head in shame, as Perrie captioned the video: ‘I’m so shit.’

Later on Perrie showed off her outfit (Picture: Instagram)

Still, her spirits weren’t dampened, as she continued to lark about the dressing room showing off her best moves – later posting a chic shot of her outfit and showing us just how much we should be incorporating some hardcore ab-work into our gym routine.

It comes after the girls released their latest tune, Woman Like Me, alongside Nicki Minaj – which has ignited a war of words after they were forced to deny Cardi B (Nicki’s nemesis of late) was offered the song first.

In a video on her Instagram, Cardi boasted: ‘Then, that Woman Like Me record … Yeah I had to decline it because I’m doing a lot of pop records so I can’t over exaggerate myself but that came to me first.’

Responding, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson contradicted her statement, saying: ‘Sorry Cardi hun but this is the tea. We’ve always wanted the queen (no shade).’

They clarified their comments by tweeting a longer statement, saying: ‘We went with Nicki because like we’ve said over the years, it’s been a dream of ours to work with her since the beginning.’

Adding fuel to the fire, Nicki then tweeted about Cardi, saying: ‘The only rapper in the history of rap who can only talk about deals and songs she’s supposedly turned down cuz she can’t talk about a verse she’s ever written. Fkn fraud.’

Drama aside, you can’t deny the tune is an absolute bop.

Much better than Perrie’s gymnastic skills…

MTV EMA: Camila Cabello is feeling herself as she joins Little Mix and Jason Derulo on star-studded red carpet

It’s that time of the year, folks – the MTV Europe Music Awards is here.

And already it’s a showstopper, as stars including Lindsay Lohan, the Little Mix women, Jason Derulo, Muse, Bebe Rexha and Halsey descended on the pink carpet.

This year the awards are held in Bilbao, Spain, with the main telecast getting going at 8pm CET (7pm UK time) with interviews from the red carpet.

Before the fun of the awards, though, hosted by Hailee Steinfeld, we were treated to a runway of fashions as singers, actors and superstars made their way into the Bilbao Exhibition Centre on Sunday evening.

Giving us the best vibes before heading into the venue though, was hands-down Camila Cabello who was definitely feeling herself as she made her way down the pink carpet.

We have so much love for the Havana singer, who was so animated in a cherry red gown.

Waving her hands around and showing off one excited grin for the snappers, the star then tousled her hair on the photo wall as she got all queen up in here.

Actress Lindsay, who is set to present an award this evening, was one of the first stars to kick off the red carpet as she pouted and poses for cameras.

Seriously, the star had a whale of a time as she took selfies with fans and really hammed it up.

As one stage she blew a kiss to keen punters who had lined the walkway to catch a glimpse of their favourite celebrities.

She then joined Muse frontman Matt Bellamy and Brooklyn 99 actor Terry Crews for an animated shot forming the most intriguing celebrity BFF trio we’ve seen since her heady days hanging out with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Name a more iconic trio…we’ll wait.

Little Mix absolutely owned the carpet as the foursome made up of Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirwall, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock showed off their best blue steel for waiting cameras.

While the foursome often coordinate their ensembles, this time they each appeared to fly solo in the fashion stakes, with Leigh-Anne rocking some green dreads and Jesy looking like she was here for business in a pink powersuit.

The legendary group are set to perform their latest song Woman Like Me, with guest act Nicki Minaj tipped to make an appearance – whether or not she’ll join the singers on stage is still up in the air, but our fingers remain crossed.

Hostess with the mostess, Hailee, made her way down the carpet before taking the mic to MC proceedings.

And boy did she show off a winning ensemble in a silver micro-mini that deserves a round of applause on its own.

Dua Lipa went all 80s on us in a very retro-esque, floral ensemble.

Jason Derulo (go on, sing it in your head) took to the carpet in a peculiar red and brown-striped coat and giant combat boots.

Look, he can pull it off, though. Sort of. Pretty much. It is the EMAs, after all, where questionable fashion choices fly.

Halsey also made an appearance after her recent split with on/off boyfriend G-Eazy.

It comes even though she’d been one to shun awards ceremonies as of late after she failed to even get some nominations for her epic video clips at past ceremonies.

In terms of performances, there will plenty going on. We know Little Mix are taking to the stage, and rumour has it Nicki Minaj might be joining them, as said before.

We also know that David Guetta will be doing a set (along with any of his many collaborators), as will Bebe Rexha.

On top of that, it looks like Jason Derulo will be performing, as will Anne Marie, Halsey, Bastille, Alessia Cara, and Panic! At The Disco.

You can also live-stream both shows on MTVEMA.com, or go full futuristic and watch all of the night’s performances in 360/VR on the MTV EMA app.

Little Mix have arrived on the red carpet for the MTV EMAs – and they are absolutely killing it.

The girls slayed, as they rocked on up dressed to the nines ahead of their performance.

Perrie Edwards could be seen wearing a strapless corset, that she’d paired with some navy silk trousers.

Her bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock also looked amazing in a black and white printed dress, which matched Jade Thirlwall’s bold 60’s style skirt.

And Jesy just appeared to do her own thing, and she stunned in a bright pink two piece.

The girls looked to be in high spirits as they beamed into the cameras while posing for pictures.

Earlier today, they were recorded meeting with fans who were seemingly waiting for them outside of the EMAs.

As they stood in the cold, hoping to catch a glimpse of the group, someone managed to get footage of Perrie handing out what appeared to be tickets for the event.

In the clip, the 25-year-old could be seen running towards the barrier where her fans held out their arms.

When going over to greet them, it looked as though she pulled out a number of tickets for the show, and surprised her fans with them.

They are yet to confirm what the tickets were for, or even if they were just signed pictures, leaving fans speculating over what Perrie was handing out.

Sharing the clip, someone wrote: ‘Perrie giving fans tickets for the emas is just the cutest thing ever.’

To which a fellow fan replied: ‘She is amazing!!ILYSM SUNSHINE.’

Just last month, the girls confirmed that they would be heading out on tour in 2019.

Making the announcement on radio chart show The Official Vodafone Big Top 40, they told presenters Marvin Humes and Kat Shoob that fans can expect big things.

‘Absolutely,’ Jade, 25, replied when asked if the girlband had a tour lined up, before adding: ‘Am I allowed to say that?’

Metro.co.uk have reached out to Little Mix’s reps for further comment.

Little Mix have shut down haters of their ‘skimpy’ outfits and we’re living for it

Little Mix have made it clear that they’ve got no time for people hating on their outfits, and have been quick to call out the ‘double standard’.

Iconic, every one of them.

The girls – Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – are speaking up for women once again, and we’re so here for it.

Being in the spotlight, they’ve experienced years of criticism about their appearances, and they’ve just about had enough.

Jesy pointed out: ‘You should be able to be whatever kind of woman you want to be. You should be able to wear what you bloody want to wear and rock it.’

‘As long as you feel good about yourself, that’s all that matters,’ she added, talking to Attitude Magazine.

‘It just annoys me. We’ll wear a leotard and they’re like [pulls a face].’

She explained that she’s done with the double standards that are too often applied to women.

‘But I’m thinking, “Do you say that to people at the Olympics, that they’re too provocative?” No you don’t, but because we’re dancing, “Oh, you’re too sexy”.’

Preach girl.

Jade also isn’t standing for the misconception that feminists should dress a certain way.

‘Being a feminist doesn’t mean that you have to wear a polo-neck jumper and a pair of trousers. Anyone can be a feminist,’ she said.

‘Feminism is just believing in equality.’

We didn’t think we could love those girls any more, but here we are.

The interview comes shortly after the girls dropped their latest single Woman Like Me, featuring Nicki Minaj.

With a kickass video, the girls practiced what they preached by shooting down stereotypes about women.

That’s what we call girl power.

Little Mix are pushing forward with their album promo despite reportedly getting dropped from Simon Cowell’s record label.

It’s said that the British girl group are no longer signed to Syco Music after an alleged row between the label and their management company, Modest, over a writing credit for their latest single Woman Like Me.

Despite the reported the tension behind-the-scenes, Little Mix are keeping busy with the release of their next single, Joan of Arc, which will appear on their next album LM5.

Singer Perrie Edwards has teased the track’s music video and it looks to be their most sultry yet.

In the teaser clips, Perrie is clad in a corset and trousers with a cane – reminiscent of Lady Marmalade – and sports a wet look blonde bob.

One scene features a close-up shot of the singer biting down on a set of white pearls, which she captioned: ‘Yaaass you better bite those Chanel pearls. Honestly who do I think I am?’ before she’s seen writhing around with the cane as a prop.

A selfie shows her wearing a Calvin Klein bra while her bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock is briefly seen in another teaser clip of the finished video.

Lyrics in Joan of Arc include: ‘I don’t need a man / If I’m loving you it’s ‘cause I can / I don’t want your cash / I put my own rock on my hand.’

Hours before, reports emerged that Little Mix had parted ways with Syco after allegedly confronting label boss Simon, 56, over issues with Woman Like Me and their forthcoming fifth album.

A row is said to have ensued prompting a rep for Simon to confirm in a statement that the label no longer works with acts under Modest management, including last year’s X Factor winners Rak-Su.

The spokesperson told The Sun: ‘Syco Music will no longer work with Modest Management and therefore any artists signed to that management company.

‘We do, of course, wish all artists affected by this decision every future success. Consequently, LM5, the forthcoming Little Mix album A&R’d and released on Syco Music, is to be serviced by RCA at the request of Syco and Simon Cowell.’

Little Mix ‘definitely speak their mind now’ after splitting from Simon Cowell’s label

Little Mix are getting sassier by the day, and it’s a joy to witness.

The Woman Like Me singers have been speaking about their growing confidence less than a week after it was announced that they have parted ways with Simon Cowell‘s record label, Syco.

In an interview with The Sun, Perrie said: ‘We’re ready for a new start.

‘Change, especially in the creative industry is always good.’

Leigh-Anne added: ‘We were with Syco for seven years and had an incredible journey but it’s going to be nice to change it up and get a new view on us.

‘We definitely speak our mind now. If we don’t like it, we always say it.’

Little Mix worked with Syco following their X Factor win

Simon Cowell recently revealed that the reason the label and band had split was because of a songwriting credit for new hit Woman Like Me.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘It was just embarrassing but, funnily enough, I was more annoyed, again, not about me, but about the fact people who had worked so hard in my company were being misrepresented.

‘Why do artists think they’re more important than staff members? They’re not. They’re the same.

‘The irony was the record they were arguing about, which is Woman Like Me, they didn’t want to record. This was one of those ironic times that we were having a hit and nobody was happy.’

But the girls insist that they’re going to be taking the lead from now on.

Perrie said: ‘It’s double standards when you’re young women.

‘When we started out it was almost like, “This is your lane, stay in your lane. You’re the faces and the name”.

‘It is frustrating that if a group of guys were to say, “We’re not going to do that song, we’re going to release this song”, it’s like, “Maybe we should listen”.

‘Whereas when we do it, it’s like, “Oh they’re at it again, they’re whining”.’

The interview comes after the girls released a powerful music video for new single Strip, which sees them covered in words that they once saw as flaws but now recognise as being their strengths.

‘A few months ago, we invited many different women to be a part of our brand new music video for Strip. Strip is a really special song from LM5, it’s all about standing proud and we wrote it to encourage and empower people to be who they are,’ said Leigh-Anne.

‘We can’t wait to share all these incredible, inspirational women and their stories with you.’

Rumours circulated that the two groups would perform together (Picture: PA)

Spice Girls and Little Mix will not be performing together, as rumours about them joining forces for the X Factor final are shut down.

We’re gutted TBH.

Rumours have been circulating that the two girl groups would create the most ambitious crossover event in history by joing together to make the X Factor final the best one yet.

But it seems that’s not the case after a source told OK! Magazine that the claims ‘simply aren’t true’.

We can dream.

However, our girl power loving hearts are still fangirling over Little Mix gushing about the Spice Girls after their reunion announcement, with Jesy Nelson saying that they’d ‘love to’ join Spice Girls on tour.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock added: ‘It has to happen.’

‘We loved that they were all about girl power and never held back,’ Jesy told The Sun. ‘It was great how they didn’t give a shit.

‘They said what they wanted and made people feel good about themselves, we really aspire to be like that.

‘It’s brilliant they’ve come back.’

However, the Spice Up Your Life hitmakers may not be as into girl power as we once thought, as they recently declared they were all about ‘people power’.

Sure?

‘It’s people power. We’re about equality and bringing everyone together,’ Emma Bunton told The Sun.

Geri Horner added: ‘If we use the word feminism, OK, look it up in the dictionary and it means the equalisation between women and men. It’s everybody.

‘So we want to move that conversation on, move it forward.

‘The last year was very dark, the whole #MeToo thing, but it had to happen.

‘Honesty is paramount to healing but then we move into the light. The Spice World philosophy is let’s get into the solution now. Let’s be positive. We’ve got each other, we care about you.’

Here’s hoping that the girls decide to join forces one day, if not now – because ‘Spice Mix’ is too good an opportunity to miss out on.

Piers Morgan recently slammed Little Mix for ‘using their nudity’ to sell their latest album, LM5.

And Jesy Nelson has now made her feelings on the Good Morning Britain host perfectly clear.

During an appearance on Radio 1, the Woman Like Me singers were asked about his comments, with Leigh-Anne Pinnock explaining they didn’t even want to ‘say his name’ after the debacle.

But it seems Jesy went in a different direction altogether, telling Nick Grimshaw: ‘Of course [we’re not surprised]. He’s a silly twat.’

Cue an anxious Nick quickly apologising for her swearing live on air in the middle of the afternoon.

‘Language! You can’t swear Jesy! Apologies for the offensive language… on the BBC…,’ he told listeners, while Leigh-Anne added: ‘The word she was looking for was idiot.’

Unfortunately for the X Factor winners, it seems Piers was listening to the show, and accused the band of being ‘rattled’ by his words.

We can see where this is going….

‘Rattled… they know I see right through their little nudity scam,’ the outspoken host tweeted.

‘If you’re brave enough @LittleMix – come on @GMB tomorrow & say when you’ve just been saying about me on Radio One to my face.

‘Then we can debate your cynical exploitation of nudity to sell records.’

The drama all started when Piers and Susanna Reid discussed Little Mix’s latest song, Strip – which is all about empowering women, and saw the band strip off and paint slurs on their bodies.

Side note: It’s a total bop.

But Piers was having none of it, as he fumed: ‘What is empowering about this? Get your kit off, airbrush yourself to within an inch of your lives…

‘What’s the point of it? Using nudity to sell their album.’

When Susanna stepped in to defend the Move singers, explaining they were trying to ‘reclaim their image’ he continued: ‘Nonsense. It’s using sex, sexuality to sell albums.

‘I don’t get it. This whole Emily Ratajkowski… saying you should be able to wear a bikini for everything.

‘Absolutely ridiculous person. I have no problem looking at her with no clothes on…my problem is when she tries to frame this as something empowering.’

Little Mix have yet to respond to his request, but we bet there will be some fireworks when they do…
