Leigh-Anne Pinnock is one quarter of Little Mix, but is also a star in her own right.
Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock launched into the spotlight alongside Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall when she auditioned for The X Factor in 2011.
The star is 27 years old, with eight years of fame under her belt but what else do we know about the pop star’s life?

Leigh-Anne is of course known for being a member of everyone’s favourite girl band Little Mix, but before she hit the spotlight she worked as a waitress in Pizza Hut.
During her audition for The X Factor, Leigh-Anne sang ‘Only Girl In The World’ by Rihanna and after she’d showed off her vocals then-judge Kelly Rowland told her: “I see you in a girl band”.
As well as being part of Little Mix Leigh-Anne has also embarked on her own ventures, recently teaming up with Umbro to front their latest campaign.
Leigh-Anne’s boyfriend, also 27, is a footballer for Watford F.C. The couple met in Marbella in 2016, later confirming their relationship in December that year with a Snapchat post.
They moved in together last year and Leigh-Anne gave a glimpse at their family mansion in a festive Instagram post on Boxing Day, showing her and Andre hugging at the foot of their extravagant curved staircase.
Little Mix have a combined net worth of £12 million, meaning their individual fortunes work out to £3 million each.
Considering they’ve had such successful careers since leaving X Factor, we’re not surprised!
