“The audience would like a performance to round it off @LittleMix @VMAs,” one person begged.

“Truly so deserving it’s shocking this is their first big American award show! Look at these girls,” added another.

Mixers are adamant Jesy, Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie will be making a surprise performance after Perrie and Leigh-Anne teased an exciting update they’d received when chatting to Capital’s Jimmy Hill.

They couldn’t share what they knew, but Perrie explained they’d been offered "one of the craziest things" and a "huge opportunity" – giving fans hopes they’ll make an appearance of some sort at the VMAs.

The awards show will of course be different this year amid the pandemic, meaning each performance will be from a different location with either just a few people or no audience at all.

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s performance of ‘Rain on Me’ is just one of the moments fans are most looking forward to.

Miley Cyrus will also be performing her new song, ‘Midnight Sky’.
