Shortly after the girls released their latest album ‘Confetti’ their team announced in a statement: "Jesy is having extended time off from Little Mix for private medical reasons.

"We will not be issuing any further comment currently and ask media to please respect her privacy at this time."

Since then, Leigh-Anne, Jade and Perrie have performed as a trio on the final of their talent show The Search, the MTV EMAs and now Strictly.
