Little Mix appear to have dispelled rumours that they will be splitting up with a statement on their website that says they are showing "no signs of slowing down." The group - who lost member Jesy Nelson in 2020 - are gearing up to release their latest album, Between Us. As part of the promotion, the remaining girls - Leigh-Anne Pinnock,Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall - have created a special website that celebrates their time in the band since winning the X Factor in 2011.

Jesy Nelson reportedly wants to end her "feud" with former band Little Mix as she feels it is "getting a bit much".

Little Mix will reportedly announce next month they are parting ways to pursue solo careers, it has been claimed.
