Leigh-Anne said: “This is such an incredibly exciting time for me and my career. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’ve got coming up.”
“I will continue to work on my solo endeavours alongside my Little Mix commitments,” she added.
After Jesy quit the band in December, Leigh-Anne bagged her first major solo gig, making her acting debut in a film called Boxing Day.
Leigh-Anne recently joined The Voice UK as a guest mentor, where she will be working alongside singer Anne Marie.
Jesy announced her departure from Little Mix in December, after nine years in the band.
She said in a statement at the time: “The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard.”
In recent weeks, the singer has teased she’s working on solo music, posting snaps from a recording studio.”
