Little Mix: Band taking a break after Confetti tour

Little Mix say they'll be taking a break after their Confetti tour in April next year to work on solo projects.

But they say they are not splitting up and will be back with more music, performances and tours in the future.

The announcement comes after the band celebrated 10 years together.

It all comes a year after founder member Jesy left the group, in December 2020.

How do you feel about Little Mix's announcement? Are you disappointed to see the band take a break, excited to see what else the queens of pop get up to, or maybe both? Let us know in the comments below.

The band was put together during the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011, with four members - Jade Thirwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson.

Since then a lot has changed, with each member also taking on different projects alongside their band commitments.

Jesy left in December 2020 saying she wanted time to look after her mental health, and later signed a solo record deal.

But Jesy and her former band-mates are no longer thought to be on good terms, with reports that they had fallen out following the release of the single.

Perrie and Leigh-Anne both became mothers in August, bringing three new mini-mixers into the world.

Also Leigh-Anne has also recently branched out into acting, being cast in the film Boxing Day.

She has also fronted a BBC 3 documentary looking into issues surrounding racism, launched a charity called the Black Fund with her fiancé to empower black communities.

She was also recently announced as the co-host of the 2021 MOBO awards.

Perrie meanwhile has been busy launching Disora, her new clothing line as well as designing a shoe line for Italian brand Superga.

Jade's owns her own cocktail bar, and last year launched her own MTV show Little 'Served! With Jade Thirlwall', where she interviews different drag acts.
