JADE hints at Little Mix reunion as she wows at first solo concert at Radio 1's Big Weekend
Jade Thirlwall hinted at a Little Mix reunion while performing the girl group's 2018 hit 'Wasabi' at Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The 'Angel of My Dreams' singer played her debut solo show at the youth radio station's annual gathering, which took place at Liverpool's Sefton Park this weekend.
As well as doing a medley of their greatest hits - 'Shout Out to My Ex', 'Sweet Melody', 'Woman Like Me' and 'Touch' - earlier in the set on Sunday (25.05.25), while performing 2018's 'Wasabi', JADE switched the lyrics to: "I bet they gonna break up ... It's a hiatus!"
The lyric swap suggests the girls - also including Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - have plans to get back together after going on an indefinite break in 2022.
JADE - who has ditched her last name for her solo career - also thanked her bandmates for getting her where she is today.
She said: "Guys do you remember I was in a girl band, oh gosh you're still going, I just want to say I love the Little Mix girls with all my heart.
"I'm so so grateful to the girls. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here today on my own. So shout out Little Mix!"
The set saw JADE deliver the live debut of unreleased solo song 'Plastic Box'.
JADE is set to release her debut solo album, 'That's Showbiz Baby!', on September 12.
Despite their huge fame and earnings, Little Mix were rocked by Jesy Nelson's decision to quit the group in December 2020.
Leigh-Anne previously said the remaining three members of the band secretly sought therapy after Jesy's abrupt exit.
She said in her autobiography 'Believe': 'It was a complex and painful thing to come to terms with. We all felt it, that pain and sadness. 'The whole thing felt like a weird break-up, and I wasn't prepared for it."

Holly Johnson 'felt there was homophobia involved' in Relax banning
Holly Johnson "felt there was homophobia" involved after the BBC temporarily banned 'Relax'. The Frankie Goes to Hollywood frontman believes it was "a bit of a storm in a teacup" when the then-BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read branded the lyrics of the gay anthem as scandalous. The corporation then banned the song from playing on the radio and TV for a few weeks in early 1984, before eventually lifting the censorship as the track rose to number one on the UK Singles Chart, where it stayed for five weeks. Holly, 65, told The i newspaper: "I felt there was homophobia involved, and they let their imaginations run wild with themselves thinking, because I'm gay, 'It's all about gay sex, and we can't have that.' "There's no reference to gay sex, really, in the record." Holly believes the situation was totally overblown by the BBC. The music star said: "I thought it was a bit of a storm in a teacup." 'Relax' was a massive hit, and the band - formed of Holly, Paul Rutherford, Mark O'Toole, Brian Nash and Peter Gill - continued their success with the release of 'Two Tribes' later in 1984. The track spent nine weeks at number one in the UK Singles Chart, and the group's feet "didn't touch the ground" with the constant touring and TV interview appearances. But looking back at that time, Holly thinks there was "no consideration" for the boys' "physical and mental health". The star - who quit Frankie Goes to Hollywood in 1987 - admitted: "There was no consideration for our physical and mental health. "It was just, 'Get those boys over there. Sell, sell, sell.'" Frankie Goes to Hollywood reunited and sang their 1984 song 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' at the opening ceremony of the Eurovision Song Contest in their hometown of Liverpool in 2023 - but Holly has cast doubt on whether there will be a full get-together in the future. He said: "I entertained the idea for a while after, but it seems to have gone away now."
