Little Mix formed on The X Factor in 2011 and have become one of the country’s biggest-selling girlbands.
They left Simon Cowell’s Syco Music for the RCA label in November 2018.
In December Jesy Nelson left the group, saying the high-profile role had "taken a toll" on her mental health.
Nelson had spoken openly about her battle with anxiety and previously revealed in a documentary that abuse on social media got so bad she attempted to take her own life.
In January, she scored her final number one with Little Mix after single Sweet Melody, from their recent album Confetti, topped the charts.
