Hide AdLittle Mix formed on The X Factor in 2011 and have become one of the country’s biggest-selling girl bands.
They began as a four-piece featuring Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jesy Nelson, who left the group in December last year, and fellow South Shields lass Jade Thirlwall.
In November 2019, Jade opened her own bar – now named Arbeia – in South Shields’ Ocean Road.
When coronavirus restrictions eased in July, a new nightclub called Industry, also owned by Jade, opened next door.
