The post, which was uploaded on Monday with South Shields tagged as the location, has since racked up more than 13,000 likes from fans all around the world.

Hailed by many as a South Shields girl through and through, Jade makes regular visits to her home town and even opened bar Arbeia in the town centre in a bid to help local nightlife thrive.

And with the whole of the UK in the same boat as the star as the live under the Government’s restrictions, many of her supporters are sure to understand the struggles of being away from their families.

The lockdown rules, which were imposed two weeks ago, mean that residents – with exceptions for key workers – must stay at home and only leave the house to shop for essential items and one form of daily exercise.

But despite her homesickness Jade appears to be keeping herself busy with the welcome distractions of Disney Lego and the small matter promoting the band’s new single Break Up Song.

The track was released at the end of March and has been a hit with fans, reaching number nine in the charts.

Meanwhile the photos from her emotive post may also seem familiar to Little Mix fans, as they appear to have been taken at the same time that footage was captured for the band’s Wasabi music video.

The video was shared with fans for the first time on Thursday, March 12, showing candid footage taken from the band’s most recent tour, along with shots of those nearest and dearest to the band.
