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."

A new, larger than life teaspoon sculpture lands on Sydney Harbour
Spoon-bending 'feats' of telekinesis and illusion are the inspiration for a new commission at the Museum of Contemporary Art as the gallery heroes contemporary sculpture on the harbour and tackles a multi-million dollar operating deficit. Los Angeles-based Australian artist Ricky Swallow was fascinated by Uri Geller's so-called mind tricks as a young boy growing up in the pre-internet Melbourne, and has created four warped large-scale stainless-steel spoon sculptures for the MCA's terrace which appear to have been put through the same mind wash. 'I felt like Uri Geller was on an endless world tour with that trick,' Swallow notes. 'I remember trying to bend spoons having seen it demonstrated by Uri Geller on TV. ' Swallow's Bent Forms #1–#4, scaled-up wax prints of actual teaspoons, are the first in a series of prominent sculptural commissions to be installed at the MCA over the next six months, the biggest being the inaugural Neil Balnaves Tallawoladah Lawn Commission to be unveiled late September in honour of the late arts philanthropist. A work by British contemporary sculptor Thomas J. Price will be the first of three to be showcased over three years on the museum's prominent harbour-side verge. The details come as the MCA revealed a $2 million operating deficit for 2024. The loss, which it says is covered by cash reserves, has been attributed to the ongoing impact of the global economic downturn and rising costs of wages, energy, exhibition freight and construction. In January, it introduced admission fees for the first time in 25 years. According to its latest financial results, the MCA is now self-generating about 85 per cent of its revenue from corporate partners, patrons and commercial activities including a new-look gala fundraiser, the MCA Artists Ball, which raised more than $1.1 million. Cost-cutting would continue throughout this year, its chair, Lorraine Tarabay said, its revenue measures moving the gallery closer to a balanced budget by end of the year with the benefit of full impact felt in 2026.

The bizarre inclusion in Tourism Australia's new ad for China
This week Tourism Australia launched the second phase of its global 'Come and say G'day' tourism campaign, starring CGI kangaroo Ruby and various celebrities from Gen Z's version of Paul Hogan, Bob Irwin, to British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, Indian influencer Sara Tendulkar (daughter of cricketing legend Sachin) and Chinese actor Yosh Yu. So far, so normal. The ads feature all the typical stuff you see in Tourism Australia campaigns – stunning landscapes, wildlife, the Sydney Opera House and a good dose of humour. But there's one attraction that I don't believe has ever featured in an Australian tourism campaign before and its blink-and-you'll-miss-it inclusion seems rather unusual. During the Chinese version of the ad (watch it below), there's a scene of Yosh Yu enjoying a spectacular display from the southern lights, or the aurora australis. It's true that the aurora borealis, or northern lights, are a major tourist attraction in the northern hemisphere and there's a good reason for that – seeing the lights is an incredible, bucket-list experience. ' Like seeing music ' is how I described one evening in Canada's Northwest Territories. But here's the problem – you can't always see the northern lights. Conditions have to be right. There needs to be clear skies, little light pollution and solar storms. The latter, solar particles that crash into the Earth's atmosphere and are pulled towards the poles, is what causes the phenomenon. And it is generally much easier to see the northern lights than the southern because the northern continents are much closer to the North Pole than Australia is to the South Pole. But even then, there are no guarantees. On a trip to northern Sweden a few years ago, I saw them only briefly on my first night. Cloud and snow rolled in for the next few nights. It goes to show that even in some of the best places in the world to see the aurora, there is no guarantee.
