Jade reignites 'feud' with US popstar after Little Mix collaboration
Jade has sparked a frenzy of conversation among fans with a blunt comment about Charlie Puth.
The 32-year-old former Little Mix singer is enjoying chart success as a solo artist and has been out promoting her music.
But while fielding quick-fire questions on KISS FM's Say It Or Shot It, the Angel of My Dreams singer unexpectedly took a swipe at Puth, 33.
Asked if there were any artists she would refuse to work with, the singer cuttingly remarked, 'I feel like the fans already know someone I wouldn't collaborate with: Charlie Puth.'
When asked to elaborate, the singer opted to remain relatively silent, adding, 'Just don't… Nothing to say, just yet, on that one.'
Jade and Puth have collaborated in the past, with the American singer joining Little Mix on their 2016 single Oops.
Fans have long claimed that tension was visible between the pair when they performed a song live alongside fellow Little Mix stars Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards.
There was speculation that Puth had declared romantic feelings for Jade despite the fact that she was already in a relationship at the time with musician Jed Elliott, the bassist for the band The Struts.
Fans have once again taken to social media in light of Jade's new comments, fueling further speculation about the apparent feud between her and the five-time Grammy-nominated star.
'The way she didn't hesitate for a second😭😭 the beef is ALIVE and well,' Domiii wrote on X.
Elmalquerer stan said they wanted to be 'as honest as her some day', while Violinzviolinz joked 'the girls are fighting again.'
'Not Charlie catching a stray 💀,' Lonelyfirely wrote on X, adding: 'The silence after she said it was louder than words 😶.'
'If charlie has zero haters jade is dead 😭👋🏽,' username991213 wrote.
Others thought it may be time for the popstars to squash the beef, with EmilyTaha writing: 'I love her but she needs to let it down already it has been years it is not that deep.' More Trending
Back in 2017, We Don't Talk Anymore hitmaker Puth admitted to previously having a crush on Jade.
'Me and Jade had a bit of a look on X Factor. She's in a relationship I found out that night,' he said on the Bizarre Life podcast.
'I was on stage singing with them and was like, 'Oh jade, she's so sexy.' She's so lovely, [but] well she's taken. I will say she's taken and I'm glad she's happy.'

BBC fans stunned by 'outrageous moment' during JADE's Glastonbury set
Jade Thirlwall preformed for the first time at Glastonbury Festival this weekend. BBC viewers were left stunned by a jaw-dropping moment during JADE's Glastonbury debut when the singer dropped a swear word live on TV. The 32-year-old artist took to the stage at the festical for the first time today, where she reflected on her time in Little Mix, crediting the girl group with changing her life. But JADE also shared her excitement for pursuing her solo career. Performing on the Woodsies stage, Jade treated fans to songs from her upcoming album That's Showbiz Baby! alongside iconic Little Mix songs including Shout Out to my Ex, Woman Like Me and Touch, the Mirror reports. But it was her performance of Gossip - featuring Australian electro pop band Condifence Man - that sparked controversy, as she used the word "c--t" during the song. Fans were shocked that the word wasn't beeped out from the BBC live stream of the festival this afternoon, and many were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts. One user took to twitter, writing: "Jade dropping the word **** at 15:52 on a sunny summer afternoon at Glasto? Like I said, ICON!!" As another said: "Jade said **** live on the BBC and it's not even 4pm. Icons only," while a third penned: "This year's #Glastonbury catchphrase is definitely 'Tina thinks you're a ****.'" With a forth expressing their shock, as they stated: "Jade dropping the word **** was not on bingo card." However on BBC iPlayer, the livestream came with a disclaimer, which said: "Contains very strong language and flashing images." JADE became extremely emotional as fans sang along with her and at one point she paid tribute to her Little Mix band mates, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards - Jesy Nelson was also originally part of the girl group, before she left in 2020. While on stage at Glastonbury, singer and songwriter JADE said: "Firstly, shout out to Little Mix. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to those girls for literally changing my life and who would have thought then that we would have a Little Mix girlie up here on the Glastonbury stage. But I can't lie, it feels good doing my own songs that I've written from my heart." She continued: "That was the old me, now it's time for something new." She then told the crowd she was bringing out some special guests, before welcoming Confidence Man to the stage. JADE also used her Glastonbury performance to make a bold political statement during a powerful rendition of her track FUFN, short for F*** You For Now. The singer expressed her distain for Reform UK. The song includes a section where she calls out various issues she takes a stand against, giving them the middle finger. During her set, she chanted: "Reform! Transphobia! Selling arms! Genocide!", with the crowd echoing back a resounding "F*** you." At the start of the week, Jade promised fans her set would be "a big a-- SHOW" and on Saturday morning she posted, "It's a big one @glastonbury. See you on the Woodsies stage at 3.15pm. Make sure you get down early!! f you're not at the festival, you can watch my set live on @BBCiPlayer." Her performance was met with widespread praise, as festival-goers cheered her on throughout her set, while fans watching live on the BBC took to social media to share their reactions. 'Jade getting emotional at the Glastonbury crowd singing along with her is making me cry, so proud of her,' one fan tweeted. Another wrote: "This little mix medley Jade is doing at Glastonbury is making me emotional." A third added: "It's criminal that Little Mix never performed at Glastonbury but having Jade perform a Little Mix medley is the next best thing." Another post read: "JADE IS KILLING THIS.' And one more admirer shared: 'JADE really is the whole package isn't she. Absolute superstar."

I had 14 miscarriages before finding a couple who promised to change my life, but it fell apart after my baby was born
MUM'S HEARTACHE I had 14 miscarriages before finding a couple who promised to change my life, but it fell apart after my baby was born Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has bravely shared how her dream of becoming a mother after losing 14 babies was brutally snatched away. Kirby Hood, 36, said she was blindsided when the woman she trusted to be her surrogate mother kicked her out from the hospital after changing her mind at the last moment - and deciding to keep the newborn. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Kirby Hood, 36, has bravely opened up about her heartbreak after a surrogate couple turned her life upside down Credit: INSTAGRAM/diary_of_kirby 2 The photographer had battled infertility for more than a decade, enduring 14 miscarriages Credit: INSTAGRAM/diary_of_kirby Kirby, a photographer from Queensland, Australia, had battled infertility for more than a decade, enduring loss after loss, before the ''experienced surrogate'' offered her what she called ''the chance of a lifetime''. ''I trusted her, and she kept my baby after leading me on for nine months believing that the baby would be coming home with me,'' the devastated 36-year-old told Daily Mail Australia. ''My baby was born in February and I'm only just coming up for air. ''I have everything in writing - the card she gave me offering to be my surrogate, the paperwork from the lawyers, and all the texts.'' Kirby attended doctors' appointments regarding the pregnancy, and viewed ultrasounds - all with the encouragement of the surrogate - and covered all the medical costs throughout the process. Excited for the new chapter ahead, she threw a baby shower, held a gender reveal party and documented her journey to motherhood on social media. The birth mother even attended the gender reveal party and met all of Kirby's close friends and family who ''wanted to touch her tummy and fuss around her''. Kirby, a newborn photographer, first met the surrogate, who lived in her local area, in 2019. She was told that this would be the surrogate's "third and final child". In September 2021, the woman rebooked for some family photos, and in 2022 Kirby was booked again as the woman was entering her first surrogacy journey, and Kirby was hired as her photographer to capture the special moment. Katie Price reveals she's secured LOOKALIKE egg donors and American sperm donor in bid to have baby number six The Gold Coast photographer said that having witnessed the woman faithfully fulfil her surrogate role for someone else, she trusted her to do the same again. Meanwhile, Kirby continued with her own quest to become a mother and underwent an embryo transfer. Unfortunately, after meeting a family through an IVF group, she suffered a miscarriage in 2023. Uber Eats order that changed everything ''During the early days of my loss I made an Uber Eats order and the surrogate's sister was the Uber Eats driver. ''She said to her sister, 'Hey it's Kirby, your photographer friend - jump in the car and come for a run to drop this order off'.'' After opening the door, Kirby met the birth mum who had a package with chocolates, magazines, flowers and a card - and they hugged, as Kirby burst into tears. The card said: "When the time comes, you know I'm good for it. Love to be your surrogate.'' The two kept in touch about a potential surrogacy, but Kirby eventually came to the conclusion that she did not want to risk more potential heartbreak. However, a call out of the blue changed everything. Whilst at work, the photographer received a Facetime call from the surrogate - who announced she was having a baby. Confused, Kirby asked if the woman had transferred eggs without her knowing. She explained she had accidentally fallen pregnant with her partner, but they do not want another kid. ''At first I was cautious - how does this work? How does this happen? I'm pretty sure you can't just cook a baby for someone and just hand it over. ''Aren't there laws? I only knew of the laws of surrogacy [not adoption].'' In a state of shock, Kirby handed the phone to her mum who was at the photography studio at the time. ''Mum said: 'What does this mean?', and the surrogate said: 'It means Kirby is going to be a mama,' and I just bawled.'' What is surrogacy? Surrogacy is the name given for a type of pregnancy where a woman carries and gives birth to another person's baby. The surrogate mother is then expected to give up the baby at birth, so it can be raised by the couple who originally wanted the baby. Surrogacy is often an option for those unable to have children themselves, or for same sex couples. According to surrogacy charity Childlessness Overcome Through Surrogacy (COTS), there are two different types of surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy: When the surrogate uses her own egg fertilised with the intended father's sperm. Gestational surrogacy: The surrogate carries the intended parent's genetic child conceived through IVF, for which specialist doctors are needed. How are surrogate babies conceived? In traditional surrogacy procedures, the egg is artificially inseminated using a syringe. Gestational surrogacy is carried out through IVF. During this in vitro fertilisation process, the egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The embryo is then planted in the surrogate's womb to grow and develop. This procedure must be carried out by specialist doctors and the biological mother is required to still have working ovaries. The birth mother showed Kirby the living children on Facebook that she still followed and the families that were successful from her donations. However, given the situation had changed from a standard surrogacy to an agreement to hand over a baby that was both conceived and carried by the birthing mother, Kirby sought legal advice. Here, she was told that if the parents didn't want to keep the baby, the newborn had to go to foster care and would be assessed a fair order and placed with a registered family. Kirby then contacted the woman to pass on that disappointing news - but she already had an alternative plan. ''She told me that was rubbish and that I can be on the birth certificate as a same-sex couple, and so with a lawyer we drew up parentage orders,'' she said. As part of that, you can legally name [the baby] before birth so it's in the paperwork. Kirby decided to name her daughter-to-be Xanthe and the pair agreed she was going to be at the birth. Left all alone Then came another shock. Throughout the long process of trying to become a mum, Kirby's husband had been by her side, but just when it appeared imminent, he suddenly moved out. Up until then, he had been to the scans and even had the ultrasound photo made into a keyring he carried around. But he walked out the weekend after Father's Day. ''I have lost 14 babies and it was too much for him. ''He told me two IVF rounds before that he was done, but I didn't want to listen, I just wanted one more chance to try.'' Heartbroken Kirby called the surrogate and her partner to tell them her husband had left, but they said they had no issues with her being a single mum and assured her everything remained on course. Needing to generate enough money as a sole income earner to be able to support herself and a baby, Kirby threw herself into work. Things felt off Kirby Hood However, after she missed one of the scans as a birth shoot took 10 hours and overlapped with the appointment, the birth mother sent her a text questioning Kirby's priorities. Although she was feeling ''there were red flags'', Kirby ''didn't want to believe anything may be wrong''. A few weeks prior to the birth, Kirby was asked to meet the couple in a nearby park, where they told her that they no longer wanted her at the birth, explaining it was for minor medical reasons. It was at this point that she started to have serious doubts, wondering whether the couple had had a change of heart about handing the daughter over. On the birth day, she received a message that told her the baby had arrived, and she drove to the hospital - although, totally unsure what to expect when she got there. ''Things felt off, and I knew it wasn't happening,'' she admitted. Kirby asked for a social worker to be present, but was instead asked to leave. As if she ''was a danger'', the hospital went into lockdown and Kirby left before bawling in her car. Two days later, the birth mother called Kirby to notify her that Child Services were involved now and there's nothing she could do about it. Kirby spent long hours contacting authorities, trying to track the baby down so she could be considered as a legal parent. But it wasn't until weeks later that she found out the couple had not given the child up - and had instead made the decision to keep the little girl after all. ''Someone sent me a screenshot of the surrogate's Facebook where she had announced the birth of her little girl. ''I wasn't angry, just hurt. If they changed their minds, why didn't they just tell me? ''Of course, I would have been upset, but I would have understood. I know how hard it is to lose a baby. I would have understood.'' Kirby has not heard from the couple since March, and they have refused her requests that they refund the thousands of dollars she had forked out on medical costs and baby equipment. They said they they will her in court, Kirby told the publication. ''But I want people to know about it, about what happened and for legislation to be changed. ''I just don't want anyone else to ever feel like this.''

Haim suffer sound issues during Glastonbury set as fans praise 'born headliners'
Haim performed a secret set at Glastonbury on Saturday much to the delight of their fans, but they had dropped a big hint about their appearance weeks earlier Haim took to the Glastonbury stage to perform a secret set but had been dropping hints of their appearance. Fans were loving the low-key performance on Saturday. However, a few minutes in the girl group suffered some sound issues with their microphones before things were corrected and they carried on with their exciting set. Fans loved seeing them on stage. "The irony that the best TBAs Lewis Capaldi, Pulp & Haim all brilliant and could easily have headlined! #Glastonbury #Glastonbury2025 #glastonburyfestival @glastonbury," one wrote, whilst another added: "haim have such a huge crowd my girllsss #Glastonbury." A third penned: "HAIM will forever have my heart #Glastonbury." During their set, fans were heard shouting 'louder louder' as music nearby was drowning their sound out. The American rock band, made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, returned to Worthy Farm for the first time since 2022. There, they took to the Pyramid Stage. However, their set on the The Park stage this time out was well received after they had previously labelled it their favourite stage. Two weeks ago while speaking to radio presenter Jo Whiley, the band teased their fans about the not so secret slot. Alana said: "We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite, 'cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie." She added: "It was like, 'What is going on? How did we get here?' And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world." On Friday Lewis Capaldi stunned fans with a surprise performance. His appearance came two years after the Scottish singer last performed at the festival. Back then the he found it heard struggled to finish his set. His voice faltered as he told the crowd: "Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself." The crowd soon took over the vocals of his hit Someone You Loved. Announcing he was taking a break from music to focus on his health, Lewis - who suffers from Tourette's and anxiety - told fans at the time: "I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won't see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you're still up for watching us." And his return was met huge appreciation from fans and famous faces alike. Lewis cried as he began to sing his new song Survive, which he released on the eve of his performance. He revealed his sole goal was to get back on stage at Glastonbury as he paid tribute to the fans who had supported him.
