The clip comes days after the Touch hitmaker admitted she “doesn’t care” if she loses fans for talking about racism.

“This is something you can’t ignore,” she began.

“I don’t care how much I preach about this, I don’t care how much I say, because this is my reality and so many other people’s reality and what’s the point in even going on if we can’t get a change?
“I’m not going to just sit here and not say anything. I don’t care if I lose fans and I already know that some people who have posted have lost a lot of fans and I just think it’s disgusting, but it just proves what we’re saying.”
Leigh-Anne drew praise after she previously opened up about her own experiences, revealing she has often felt like “the least favoured” member of Little Mix because of her race.
