In other news, JADE recently appeared on ITV’s The Assembly, where she was interviewed by a group of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled people.

She spoke about her memories of the late Liam Payne, who was “the first friend I made in the industry”. They met when both auditioned for The X Factor in 2010, though JADE wouldn’t be successful on the show until she re-auditioned the year after and was put into Little Mix.

“He was just so lovely. He was obviously very talented, he really wanted to make his family proud, which he did. I remember everyone who was on the show at the time saying, ‘This person’s a star’. You could tell, he literally had the X factor. He was destined to be a musician and a singer.”
