That cameo in Jade's 'Angel Of My Dreams' video maps onto Jade's own cameo in this video. Perhaps it means they know each other in real life or, if you're a TV and cinema geek, they're "part of the same extended universe": www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHoc...

Only reaching no. 15 in the UK and no. 23 in Ireland in the summer of 2020, despite being excellent: Little Mix's slinky 'Holiday'. Was it the change in sound, or did the title not go down well in pandemic lockdown times? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHMX...

'Shout Out To My Ex' was the last of Little Mix's three chart-topping singles in Ireland, but the fine 'Sweet Melody' was a UK no. 1 for them in 2020, only reaching no. 7 in Ireland. ('Black Magic' was the other Little Mix UK no. 1 that didn't top the Irish charts) www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4P-...
