Little Mix fans can sleep easy from now on as Leigh-Anne Pinnock discussed the huge possibility of a reunion after they went on a hiatus in May 2022.
The 31-year-old singer - who recently released her solo single Don't Say Love - said a reunion between her, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall is 'on the cards' as they're 'always going to be her sisters'. Speaking to American publication Billboard, she said: "How can we not [have a reunion]?"
Leigh went on to discuss a comeback and said: "Look what we created. We created a legacy so I just think we don't really have a choice. We'll always be Little Mix...We’re so tight, they are my girls and they’re always gonna to be my sisters, so of course we’re going to do a reunion."
The talented musician - who had a busy summer tying the knot with footballer Andre Gray on a secluded beach on June 3 - previously discussed a Little Mix comeback while promoting her hit Don't Say Love single on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden.

The group went on hiatus last year (JMEnternational for BRIT Awards/Getty Images)Asked by Amanda if Leigh-Anne felt “nervous” performing her single without her bandmates around her, she said it felt “bizarre” to be alone on stage. " I literally keep saying that I’ve been punked or something… like they’re just gonna pop out from somewhere, they’re just gonna join me, it’s bizarre but I genuinely feel like it’s the right time,” she explained.

Leigh-Anne said the hiatus was “time for us to spread our wings” as the girl group had been together for 12 years without a break. She was then quizzed about the timeframe of Little Mix’s hiatus, as Amanda said it was “typical of most iconic bands” who go on an “amazing tour” when they reunite five years later.
Little Mox was formed while the stars were competing on The X Factor in 2011 and became the first group to win the competition. The band went on to release six albums before Jesy quit the band in 2020 and Leigh-Anne, Jade, and Perrie continued on without her.
After the immediate success of her solo singer, Leigh-Anne has said that having her own release day is the moment she had always dreamed of but added that she is grateful for her time in the group. “We obviously all auditioned as solo artists and the best thing they could have done was put us in a group because now I have all of this experience under my belt”, she said.
