It's no secret that Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall is a massive fan of music icon Diana Ross. She's previously dressed up as the 'Chain Reaction' singer at her ‘idol’ costume birthday party in December last year, looking fantastic wearing a sequined, red fishtail dress.
However, now she has actually met her idol, and she posted a photo of the memorable moment for her fans to see on Instagram, telling them she, 'couldn't believe it'. The singer shared a photo of her mum, and herself with Diana Ross captioning it, 'They say you should never meet your idols but Ms Diana Ross was everything we couldv’e dreamed of and more!' [sic]
She went on to explain how she had surprised her mum by flying them out to Las Vegas to see Diana Ross, creating, 'a mother/daughter memory I will cherish forever'. Cute!
Of course it wasn't long before Jade's fans, including a number of celebrities began to leave comments on her photo. Pop star Pixie Lott said, 'OMG Jade!!!!!! Yesssssss!!!!!! 💓💓💓 That is amazing', with her mum writing, 'The best surprise, best holiday, best memories, best night, best mother and daughter quality time ever!! Don’t ever change, I love you to the moon and back pet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'.
