Referring to Leigh-Anne’s album going top three in the charts, Jade said: “And I feel like it’s some weird cosmic energy that we’re all number three and that we’re a three, three, three.
“I feel like it’s quite special, very happy for her.”
Little Mix currently consists of three members – Jade, Leigh-Anne and their fellow bandmate Perrie Edwards.
The group was previously a four-piece before Jesy quit in December 2020.
Jesy, 34, revealed the truth behind her sudden departure.
The singer shocked fans when she revealed hersecret suicide attempt days before quitting the group – suggesting her cry for help was ignored by her bandmates.
The revelation came after Jesy thrilled fans with news their six-year feud was over after thegirls had privately reached out.
While Jesy gave fresh hope about the possibility of reconciling with her bandmates on stage, the girls’ reactions following her comments suggested an entirely different story.
A source told The Sun: “Jesy’s confession has obviously opened up a can of worms for the girls.
“The documentary itself and the backlash that has followed, has brought up a lot of bad feeling from the past.

“It’s been upsetting for the girls, but they are focused on their solo careers and the future now.”
While on her tour of That’s Showbiz Baby! in the US, Jade broke down in tears on stage as she sung Natural at Disaster.
The track is said to have been written about her struggling friendship with Jesy, with lyrics including: “It’s hard to love you when you hate yourself. Can’t be there for you without negatively impacting my mental health.”
And seemingly in another swipe at Jesy after Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix was released, Jade chose to play Natural At Disaster over her latest Instagram post.
Sharing video footage from behind the scenes at her show in Chicago, JADE wrote: “And all that jazz.”
One fan commented: “The song choice… I hope you’re not shading Jesy. I love you all.”
Jesy’s revelations sent Little Mix’s fanbase into a spin – with some rival supporters clashing online.
Recalling the painful breakdown of Little Mix’s friendship days before her overdose, Jesy said: “I sat everyone down to explain how I was feeling and I remember one of the responses being, ‘Are you done now? Is that it?’
“She [one of the girls] was like, ‘Can I go now?’”
Fighting back tears, Jesy added: “That made me feel really alone. I felt like there was no point. That no one cared.”
Her comments apparently sparked social media rows, with some fans “picking a side”.
However, others insisted: “Jesy sharing her side of the story of what happened shouldn’t be viewed as her trying to villainise them. Me nor you truly don’t know what happened between those girls so trying to sit there and call someone a liar as if you know better than her is very weird.”
Another said: “Both sides have faults and both sides have valid feelings. It’s really not that hard to understand.”
Someone else added: “I’m proud Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie reached out to her when Jesy was pregnant because they are good people all three of them. I just hope they can all move forward now and heal.”

How to get help
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.

But his illness meant he could only appear in a short video for the assembled fans.
Yet for those there, and around the world, it meant everything.
The 48-year-old actor, who died yesterday after being diagnosed with stage three colorectal cancer in 2023, said the emotional reunion, which his wife Kimberly and their six children attended in his place, had been something he had been looking forward to during his gruelling treatment.
He told the audience at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York: “I have been looking forward to this night for months and months ever since my angel Michelle Williams said she was putting it together.
“I can’t believe I’m not there. I can’t believe I don’t get to see my cast mates, my beautiful cast in person.
“I wanted to stand on that stage and thank every single person in the theatre for being here tonight.
“From the cast to the crew to everybody who’s doing anything and has been so generous, and especially every single last one of you – you are the best fans in the world.”
Van Der Beek was the all American teenager long before he became the object of teenage desire in adolescent drama Dawson’s Creek.

The son of mobile phone executive James Van Der Beek and former dancer Melinda, he was a promising American footballer in Cheshire, Connecticut.
But a concussion at the age of 13 kept him off the playing field so he took up acting.
He landed the lead role in his school’s production of Grease playing Danny Zuko.
He never looked back.
By the time he was 15 he was begging his mother to get him an agent and they travelled to New York to secure a deal.
While studying at private boarding school The Cheshire Academy he started appearing in Broadway productions.
A brief stint at university in New Jersey quickly fell by the wayside as he started landing major roles and then, at the age of 20, the lead in the teen drama.

As Dawson Leery, a budding filmmaker with an on-off relationship with Joey played by Katie Holmes, he became a teen heart-throb and the spawn of countless memes.
In 122 episodes of the show he grew from a confused 15-year-old to a confused adult.
The show’s theme tune I Don’t Want To Wait followed him throughout his life and triggered memories of the teen frenzy that surrounded him.
He said: “If I was at karaoke and it started playing there’s a part of me – and I’m a f*****g grown-ass man with four kids – that still wants to go hide under the table.
“I was at a pharmacy in Philadelphia and it came on and I immediately went into a weird panic.
“I think it’s tied to the pandemonium that accompanied that, for which there was no off button.
“Walking around at that time was very tricky because one autograph could turn into a mob scene. So I walked around in fear of teenage girls.
“When I was first very famous and people were passing out and all that, I remember watching a Beatles documentary and George saying how people were looking for any excuse to go mad.”
Dawson, like James, grew up on the show and when it came to an end he struggled to find work.
His big TV comeback show, NBC medical drama Mercy, was cancelled.
Sitcom Friends With Better Lives, made by the people behind Friends and Frazier, was pulled off air after eight episodes.
“I was 33, I had my first kid, and I thought: OK, what doors are open right now?” he said. “And I was thinking, I’m having more fun doing comedy than I would crying every day!
“I look back and I’m grateful. But it was an exhausting six-year marathon.
“I was shooting movies or doing photo shoots when the show was on hiatus.
WHAT IS COLORECTAL CANCER?
Dawson’s Creek alum James Van Der Beek revealed his stage three colorectal cancer diagnosis in the fall of 2024.
According to MayoClinic, colorectal cancer is in the large intestine, which is the colon, or rectum.
The website explains, “It often begins as small noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon. Over time, some of these polyps can increase in size, undergo cellular changes and eventually transform into colon cancer.
“Colorectal cancer screenings can detect the polyps early and prevent the disease from developing or spreading. One screening method is colonoscopy, which can help identify these polyps and remove them.“
According to the website, it is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States.
“I felt burnt out when it ended. I needed time to duck away and disappear, figure things out and grow up a bit.
“When I was 24 the character I played on TV was a teenager losing his virginity.”
James met the love of his life Kimberly in 2009 and married the following year.
Together they had six children: Olivia, 15, Joshua, 13, Annabel Leah, 11, Emilia, nine, Gwendolyn, seven, and four-year-old Jeremiah, known as Remi.
He said: “When I was younger, I used to define myself as an actor, which was never all that fulfilling, and then I became a husband… it was much better and then I became a father… that was the ultimate.
“It just happened. We had one planned child – one out of six.
“One was 100% on purpose. The one thing we really sucked at was not getting pregnant. But thank God, honestly, because it’s such a struggle for people, and we really don’t take it for granted.
“I joke, and I laugh, but like, yeah, we really just kind of got lucky that way.”
He was always devoted to the show that made him a poster boy to girls around the world.
But, closer to home, he was reluctant at showing it to his own children for one very good reason.
He said: “It’s a great show, I love the show, I think other kids can watch it.
“I don’t think my kids need to watch their dad pretend to go through puberty. That’s my stance on it.
“It was a very well-intentioned show, people really trying to do the right thing and speaking incredibly eloquently about how they were trying to do the right thing.

“I think that seed of good intentions comes through.”
Last March he spoke about his fight with the disease on his 48th birthday, saying it had been the hardest year of his life.
He said: “I had to come nose to nose with death and all those definitions that I cared so deeply about were stripped from me.
“I was away for treatment, so I could no longer be a husband who was helpful to my wife. I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids and put them to bed and be there for them.
“I could not be a provider because I wasn’t working.”
The reunion with his fellow cast members, in a charity gig for cancer research, was a beacon of hope in his darkest days.
Illness forced him to stay home but his message to fans was clear.
He said: “Everyone please enjoy all the love in that room. Shine some on my family.
“I will be beaming and receiving from afar in a bed in Austin.”

Just last month, Jesy made some bombshell claims about the “real reason” behind her Little Mix exit, which ultimately dashed hopes of a reunion.
Speaking at the BRIT Awards on Saturday, Jade praised bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock on her solo album, My Ego Told Me To, which was released last month.
During an interview with Capital, Jade said: “I’m so happy for her. I’ve been chatting to her today saying how proud I am.
“So deserved, the album’s amazing.”
