Little Mix have won praise from fans around the world after flying an LBGTQIAPK flag during a performance in Dubai - a country where homosexuality is outlawed.
The band - consisting of 25-year-old Perrie Edwards, 27-year-olds Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and 26-year-old Jade Thirlwall - sparked cheers and applause while standing in front of a rainbow CGI flag over the weekend.
The band were singing their tune, Secret Love Song, when they took a political stance against local laws in the Middle Eastern country.
Fans took to social media to thank the band for their bold move - with many congratulating the stars for their bravery.

Meanwhile, some hit out at the stars, with one tweeting: “Respect to them for expressing their view but disrespectful from them to do that if you know it's illegal.”
In Dubai, those in same-sex relationships can find themselves in jail for up to 10 years for breach of Article 177 of the Penal Code.
In 2008, a lesbian couple were jailed for one month after public displays of affection in the country - while in 2012, a Belgian man was jailed for one year for being in a same-sex relationship with a man from the Philippines.
