'I remember the first time I told Alex I loved him, I was on a night out with the [Little Mix] girls and they were gearing me up - and for some reason I had a pan, right? 'I had a frying pan because Alex told me he liked pancakes so I went out of my way to buy a pan, but we had promo. 'So I'm on a night out, with a frickin' frying pan thinking, 'I'm gonna make his dreams come true, I'm gonna make him pancakes in the morning.' The singer went on: 'I remember saying to the girls, 'I think I love him... but I think he loves me too' and the girls were like, "Then just tell him". 'They geared me up within an inch of life and I was raring to go.' But when it came to the big moment, the singer admitted that she was 'speechless'. She continued: 'I couldn't find the words, I couldn't articulate myself, I was like panicking... my heartbeat was in my head. And I just went, "I think I'm falling in love with you", so aggressively.'

JADE review — an impressive Proms debut from the former Little Mix star
The Proms' annual weekend in the northeast of England has become a regular fixture, but this year everything felt as if it had been dialled up a notch. Lots of touches, including more concerts in more places and the first time that any Prom outside of London has been televised, indicated expansion and confidence. Also for the first time the festival escaped Gateshead, staging a jazz celebration in the Fire Station in Sunderland. Hosted by Soweto Kinch, who twice picked up his saxophone to join in, this featured some esoteric psychedelia from the trumpeter Theo Croker and some more instantly appealing virtuosity from the Joe Webb trio, whose freewheeling centenary tribute to Oscar Peterson stole the show. • Read more of our music critics' verdicts on the Proms Undoubtedly, however, the star of the weekend was Jade Thirlwall, who may have put her Little Mix days behind her, but hasn't forgotten her South Shields roots. Much of her Friday night Glasshouse set (which featured a high-class warm-up from the engaging, Middlesbrough-born Finn Forster) was a love letter to the region. The magic came from JADE's ability to project larger-than-life star quality with the ability to hold the audience close, whether she was belting out her hits — the concert included material from her forthcoming album along with selections from her back catalogue — or covering songs by Madonna or Sam Fender. JADE has the voice of a diva combined with communicative immediacy, with roof-raisers sitting happily alongside softer songs of disarming intimacy. • Read more classical reviews, guides and interviews The Royal Northern Sinfonia provided her with dutiful but unobtrusive background support in arrangements conducted by Robert Ames. Their own moment in the spotlight came on Saturday evening alongside the pianist David Fray, who played a Bach concerto sensitively, if not always in sync with the beat of conductor Dinis Sousa. They also gave a rousing performance of Mendelssohn's Lobgesang Symphony, for which they were joined by no fewer than three choruses from Tyneside and Huddersfield, all of whom sang their hearts out.★★★★☆On BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer Follow @timesculture to read the latest reviews

Jade Thirlwall thought music icon was her mum as she makes candid admission
Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall shared a 'fun fact' with her fans during her BBC Proms performance as she revealed a funny childhood memory Jade Thirlwall shared a hilarious confession during her impressive BBC Proms performance in her native North East. The Little Mix star, 32, treated her hometown to an excellent show alongside the Royal Northern Sinfonia at Gateshead's The Glasshouse. In between her flawless tunes, the South Shields-born star took time to give her fans an insight into her life growing up in the region. And prior to introducing her huge hit titled Fantasy, Jade shared a "fun fact". She told her adoring crowd: "My mam was always playing Motown music, specifically Diana Ross. Fun fact, I genuinely thought my mam was Diana Ross for a hot minute. To the point where she would go off to the bingo and she would be like 'I'm going to do a show' and I'd be like 'gag, that's my mam'. "At one point, do you know when you go to school and you take in a show and tell thing? I remember this, I took in a Diana Ross programme and the kids had, like, I don't know, Pokemon cards or some sort of toy. "And they would be like 'what's that?' and I would be like 'it's my mam'. Alas, it wasn't my mam, but I think my mam's just as special, if not more." She then went on to introduce a tune that was based from her love of Motown as she impressively sang "in my on Jadefied way". She admitted the tune was a way to tell her fans it is "okay to be unapologetically yourself" as she performed her own tune called Fantasy. Jade also treated those at the event that was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 to a number of other big numbers from her own repertoire. And she also showcased her huge talent with a number of cover songs, including Madonna's Frozen. Perhaps the cover of the night came in the shape of Sam Fender's Remember My Name. Paying tribute to the "King of the North," Jade produced a flawless and spine tingling version of the emotional tune. The number had fans in tears before Jade welled up too following its conclusion. She explained the sentimental meaning behind her choice and, with her voice breaking, she revealed the song had been played at a friend's funeral just weeks ago. The candid confession was met with huge support from the crowd, some of who shouted out to gush over their "Angel of the North". The show was a history maker as, as well as the broadcast on Radio 3 on the night, Jade's performance was also filmed to go out on television at a later date. It marked the first time the Proms had been filmed for television outside of London.
