Leigh-Anne Pinnock hopes for 'impactful' Little Mix reunion
The 33-year-old pop star is currently focused on her solo career after the girl group went on hiatus in 2022 and believes that she and bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards should wait a while before getting back together.
Speaking on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show on Monday (21.07.25), Leigh-Anne said: "We cannot do this (get back together) for a little while because otherwise it wouldn't be as impactful. Let's enjoy solo man but I do feel that people miss Little Mix.
"What we could do is we could still do our solo stuff, do a little Blackpink, that would be kind of iconic. Or do a show where we all perform our solo stuff, that would be sick."
Leigh-Anne revealed that she would be keen to see British R+B group Honeyz reunite as she loved performing their songs when she was performing in talent shows as a youngster.
Asked which band she wants to get back together, she said: "I used to sing Honeyz for talent shows when I was younger so the Honeyz."
Leigh-Anne has three-year-old twin daughters, whose names she has not made public, with her footballer husband Andre Gray and explained that she has already joined the parents WhatsApp group in preparation for the pair starting school.
The Been a Minute singer said: "The WhatsApp group is already popping off and I'm getting overwhelmed but for them I want to be quite involved and meet the parents and all of that!"
Leigh-Anne previously revealed that she and her Little Mix bandmates considered scrapping their hiatus after enjoying themselves on the Confetti tour but ultimately feels that the trio made the right decision as they concentrate on their solo material.
She said: "The three of us have this genuine sisterhood, and no one else will ever get it.
"In fact, that last tour was so beautiful that there were times when we asked if we should just carry on as Little Mix because it felt so good. I don't think it would have worked at that point in our lives, though."
The Don't Say Love hitmaker was scared about going solo at first but feels that she has proven that she is up to the task of being a standalone artist.
She said: "I believe in my talent. I believe in myself and also, I just love to sing. There's plenty of things I could do. But I know music is where I'm supposed to be. I'm excited to see where it's going to take me next."

'I witnessed the birth of Oasis firsthand'
It's hard to think about the 90s without Oasis. Not only were they the most successful British group of the decade, the Gallagher brothers came to define the so-called 'lad culture' of those high times. As standard bearers of a genuine working-class revolution, they were caricatured as the drinking, drugging, brawling 'supayobs' — but Oasis were far smarter, and artier, than they were letting on. They combined the majestic power of the Sex Pistols and the melodic nous of the Beatles to create their own 'Sex Beatles', just like Nirvana was doing. Yet, unlike Kurt Cobain, they were more about redemption than nihilistic self-destruction. They were renegade outsiders who believed in the power of rock'n'roll as a means of escape; their life-affirming songs soundtracked a youthful optimism for better times. I got to know a pre-Oasis Noel Gallagher on the Manchester band scene whilst attending gigs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He seemed to be at every gig, the Hacienda or the all-night raves in squatted flats in the then-bohemian wasteland of Hulme. He already had an in-depth knowledge of bands and music history, and was as passionate about the classics as great lost Manchester bands such as World Of Twist or Yargo. Soon after, when he started roadying for the Inspiral Carpets, I would see him at their gigs or at the band's office at New Mount Street, the hub of the 80s Manchester music scene. When he first formed Oasis in 1991, he gave me demos — which I still have including one of the band's very first, which he handed me on Whitworth Street near his then-flat in Manchester city centre. It was a demo full of hope of a band straining against a national music scene that had decided Manchester was over. Early Oasis rehearsed next door to my band in the Boardwalk rehearsal rooms around the corner from the Haçienda — the heart and soul of the Manchester music scene. Most of these bands would rehearse a couple of times a week, but Oasis seemed to be in there every day, grafting and plotting in the dusty damp of the cellar rooms. They were in there so much that they had even decorated their room, painting the brick walls white, adding a small pop-art Union Jack painting and two Beatles posters. These were the psychedelic April 1967 photoshoot with American photographer Richard Avedon, and the shot of The Fabs on the steps of Brian Epstein's London flat on the day of the launch party for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. There was method in the madness. One of the smartest people I've met in bands, Noel always knew what he was doing. The three years on the road around the world with the Inspiral Carpets had been a crash course in how bands worked. He understood the dynamics and the graft as he sound-checked all the Inspiral Carpets' instruments, and had even tried out to be the band's singer when Stephen Holt, their original vocalist, had left. He also spent hours in the office on the phone or looking after the T-shirts. After Inspiral Carpets rejected his audition as frontman, he entered 1993 determined to make it with his own band. It wasn't easy — in the early days the band were overlooked despite his connections and drive. London bands like Suede were all over the music press, and it felt like Manchester bands were out of fashion. A few years later Noel said he felt like 'the last one of my generation to make it'. In that first year, it seemed like Oasis was a hobby built around Noel, with a quiet, 20-year-old Liam in tow. But Liam had rockstar looks and a wild self-belief. And both, growing up sharing a cramped bedroom on a council estate in Burnage, were united by the desire to escape the drudgery of life, the shadow of their errant, difficult father and their then-broken city. In fact it was Liam who had initially found a local band who made a great racket but needed a singer with star power. After coaxing Noel to join, they knew they had something powerful. The brothers' dynamic was fascinating: Noel would write and Liam would deliver his brother's lyrics in one or two perfect takes, just minutes after learning them. It was this innate understanding of his brother's emotions that contrasted so dramatically with the pair's many fall-outs. The brothers' psychodrama was described perfectly in 1997 by an 18-year-old Pete Doherty: 'I subscribe to the Umberto Eco view that Noel Gallagher's a poet and Liam's a town crier.' Still reeling from the effects of the post-industrial meltdown, late-80s Manchester was far removed from what it is today. The city's famous two Sex Pistols gigs in 1976 had sparked a post-punk revolution of the 'Manchester kids with the best record collections', as Tony Wilson once quipped, from the Buzzcocks, Factory Records and the Haçienda to Joy Division, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, and the Happy Mondays. The young Oasis became the final chapter in the city's transformation. Live Forever: The Rise, Fall And Resurrection Of Oasis by John Robb is out now.

‘Gay for pay': Girlfriend of British man insists that him sleeping with men doesn't mean he's gay
A British woman who says that her straight boyfriend sleeps with men on camera has insisted that he's not gay and it's 'just work.' Terri and Ryan, from Cheshire in the UK, feature on a YouTube episode of 'Love Don't Judge,' where they share the secret moneymaking formula they've found in the world of adult entertainment. The pair both make spicy content for money and combine their skills to earn between $4,000 to $12,000 a month. While ex-convict Ryan stars in the X-rated scenes, his girlfriend Terri acts as director and camerawoman filming her boyfriend as he gets physical with other men. Terri started making content herself in 2021 and explains that through working in the adult entertainment industry she discovered that the most lucrative area of the industry was to focus on the LGBTQIA+ audience. 'When he was in prison, I was making content with other people in the industry and when I was talking to the lads about it they were saying they don't make much money from working with women, they make money from working with men,' she said. The couple insist that the sole reason they pursue making content where Ryan is intimate with other men is because it makes the most money. 'I don't feel any certain way about it, it's just work to both of us,' Terri said. Terri also makes content which involves her getting intimate with other women which she says gives her an understanding of what Ryan's doing for work. Despite its ability to bring in the cash, the couple's unconventional setup has shocked their family and left some viewers baffled. 'Friends wise, the ones I'm still mates with don't want to hear about it, they are not interested,' Ryan said. 'Family, the ones I speak to I think are alright about it but again, it doesn't really come up in conversation that much. 'I just say modelling, I'm doing modelling. People who do have a problem with it seem to do it online, not face to face anyways.' The episode also shows the couple sat down with Terri's mother, who questions their career path and the strength of their relationship. 'Aren't you worried that he'll leave you for a man?' she asks her daughter. Terri insists she trusts Ryan and that their relationship is rock solid, no matter what people say. As part of the episode the interviewer asks members of the public their thoughts on the couple's career choice and if they'd consider it. 'I guess I've got some old school traditions . . .I wouldn't like it,' one person said. 'I feel like I'd feel too awkward . . .it would kill the romance for me,' said another. 'it's just a bit odd isn't it, you can't be doing that,' a third added.
