Heartbreak, fat-shaming, insecurity and outrageous behaviour on the ‘tour bus’, LITTLE MIX are ready to talk.
Perrie Edwards isn’t happy. “Somebody kill me,” she shouts to nobody in particular. The singer is having problems with her wisdom teeth and is in apparent agony. “I need them ouuuut,” she wails while pulling a sad face. “I’m in pain every single day but I haven’t got time to do anything about it.” If that sounds like hyperbole, it’s not. To give you some idea of how busy this British quartet is right now, when we meet at a north London studio in the middle of February, it is the day after a crazy 24 hours involving them getting up at 3am to do back-to-back interviews for the international press.
Jesy Nelson, 24, arrives first – an hour late. She is bleary-eyed and unusually wan with her hood pulled low over her face. Gradually the rest trickle in: Jade Thirlwall, then Leigh-Anne Pinnock and finally Perrie 20 minutes later – looking, in her own words, “fucking exhausted”.
