Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock to join The Voice as Anne Marie's guest mentor

Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock has announced she is to join The Voice as Anne Marie's guest mentor.

Taking to the band's official Instagram, she wrote: "I'm so excited to be joining @annemarie as her guest mentor on @thevoiceuk this year!

"The talent is unreal." She tagged The Voice in her post.

Leigh-Anne will surely have plenty of advice to hand out, having got her own start on a TV talent show.

She and her bandmates found fame on 2011 X Factor, the first group to win the competition.

Leigh-Anne is engaged to Premier League footballer Andre Gray, who she's been in a relationship with since 2016.

Her role on The Voice comes as her former bandmate Jesy Nelson, who sensationally quit the group two months ago, took her first steps towards going solo.

Jesy shared footage from inside a recording studio on Friday, exciting fans who were convinced she was working on her first material since her exit from Little Mix.

Taking to her Instagram Stories Jesy told fans that she was spending the day in the music studio.

As the bombshell filmed inside the recording area a short sound bite of a woman singing - that resembled Jesy's famous tones - could be heard in the background.

Former X Factor sensation Jesy pouted in front of the camera then panned the lens onto music producer Patrick Jordan Patrikios - who she tagged in the upload - as well as another producer and songwriter Sunny.

Both Sunny and Patrick worked with Jesy when she was in Little Mix with Leigh-Anne, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards.

Earlier this month, Patrick shared that he looking forward to helping Jesy storm the charts as a solo performer when he took to his Stories to share a snap of the musician from behind.
