Perrie Edwards has opened up about having to put on a brave face when she goes through hard times.
The singer says sometimes Little Mix just want to stay in bed and hide away from the world when they're going through personal problems, but because they're in a hugely successful girl band they have to get on with things.
Her comments come after Jesy Nelson quit Little Mix late last year, saying her time in the band had taken its toll on her mental health.
The remaining members, Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, are continuing on as a trio.
Perrie told Glamour magazine: "One thing we've had to do in our careers, which is hard, is to put on a brave face.
"We're all going through the worst situations of our lives. We just want to crawl in bed, put the duvet over our heads and just never come out...
"But you know you've got people depending on you, you've got three other girls that need you there, you've got fans all over the world; you don't want to get a bad reputation."
But the Little Mix girls are understandably pleased with their success.
Little Mix have had six studio albums, 27 singles, two of which have reached multi-platinum status.
They've sold more than 50 million albums and singles worldwide.
They've also achieved 100 award nominations and 48 award wins, including two BRIT Awards and six MTV Europe Music Awards.
Jade said: "We've shown that women standing together works, even with all the obstacles in our way.
"Right from the beginning, we were the dark horse on The X Factor, and no one expected us to do well.
"After that, everyone would say, 'They'll do one single and maybe one album and will get dropped.'
"We persevered and got through it. We grew and became adult women together."
