Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall has made a candid reveal about a rather unfortunate incident – which she called her "worst ever stage experience".
While chatting to Melanie C and Courtney Act on her MTV show Served! with Jade Thirlwall, Jade revealed that she had a follow-through nightmare of the most public variety while she was just about to go on stage in 2017.
"My worst ever stage experience, for me, was on Little Mix's Glory Days tour," she said (from 9:42 in the video above).

She went on to explain what happened: "I was a bit unwell at the time, I had, like, a poorly belly. And basically, before the show starts, we were in, you know the man-lifts? Where it rises up, and it's like a big dramatic entrance?
"As I was [crouching down] in the man-lift, I looked at my security guard, and I was like, 'I really need to do a little fart'. So then I did it – and I literally shit myself.

After divulging her very uncomfortable moment – and a giggly interlude from Courtney telling her that she could have saved herself a lot of trouble if she'd been "tucked" – Jade went on to reflect on her public admission, particularly that she'd revealed it to Melanie C.
"I probably shouldn't have mentioned that publicly, to be honest. But there you have it. I've just told a Spice Girl that I shit myself."

On a far more serious note, Jade's bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock recently spoke out on a personal matter. In the wake of George Floyd's death and the Black Lives Matter protests, Leigh-Anne made it clear that she didn't care if she lost racist fans.
Speaking to This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on Tuesday (June 9), Leigh-Anne said that now felt like the right time to post the video.
"This is something you can't ignore, this is something you can't be quiet about," she said. "I don't care how much how much I preach about this. This is my reality, this is so many other people's reality. What's the point in even going on if we can't get a change?" she added.
