Little Mix's summer UK tour faces uncertainty as new BBC talent show axed

The future of Little Mix's summer tour remains in the air as fans speculate on social media that the performances might be put on hold thanks to coronavirus.

The girl group, who recently released their new single Break Up Song, are due to begin their UK tour at the end of June.

Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson were expected to start their tour in Falkirk before travelling around the country and ending in Aberdeen one month later.

Uncertainty surrounding their live shows follows shortly after the girl group were forced to axe their talent show Little Mix: The Search.

Working with the BBC, the foursome had kicked off a new musical show where they look to form a new band and provide mentoring to singing hopefuls.

The prize of the competition was a spot as the supporting act on their UK summer tour.

As a result of the coronavirus outbreak, filming of the talent show was abruptly halted because of safety concerns surrounding a live audience.

The music video was set to be recorded in Brazil but as well as singer Perrie falling ill in the first instance, travel overseas has now been halted to a large extent because of coronavirus.

In the meantime, the much-loved girl group has instead been hard at work promoting their new music while in self-isolation.

Just hours ago, singing sensation Jesy Nelson shared a clip of her singing the new tune on their official Instagram page.
