Jade Thirlwall got a surprise on Thursday night when she attended a live music night at her South Shields bar and witnessed the guest act singing a Little Mix song.
South Tyneside-born star Jade owns Arbeia on Ocean Road and headed there for drinks with friends as she and her Little Mix bandmates sit atop the iTunes charts with their new single Heartbreak Anthem.
Her Shields bar has become popular with locals for its cocktail menu and Instagram-worthy interior and Jade took the opportunity to pose against its neon angel wings wall, alongside Jen and Liv, the singing duo who entertained drinkers on Thursday.

The duo performed a cover of Little Mix's 2017 number 1 Touch on stage and, clearly impressed, Jade shared a clip of their version an Instagram story, for her millions of fans to cast an eye over.
The duo - Jenna Cole and Olivia Irvin - took to their own Insta story to thank Jade for inviting them to perform at her venue, with their set also including a cover of TLC's No Scrubs.
Jade opened her bar in South Shields in October 2019 as Red Door, before changing its name to Arbeia in early 2020, in honour of the nearby Roman fort.
She had big plans for last year, with her nightclub Industry all set to open in the premises previously occupied by famous haunt Glitterball.
It was due to open in March 2020 but coronavirus threw a massive spanner in the works. It has yet to open but Jade's friend and fellow South Shields star and X Factor winner, Joe McElderry, filmed the video for his single Baby Had Your Fun there last year.
