Little Mix talk ‘dream’ Ariana Grande collaboration

Okay, this NEEDS to happen 🤞

Little Mix and Ariana Grande

It's no secret that Little Mix and Ariana Grande are pop's biggest BFFs. After Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock joined the star on her Dangerous Woman tour in 2017, they've been fangirling over her new track 'thank u, next' all over the shop. Then Ari and her mum Joan Grande stepped in to defend Little Mix's strong 'Strip' statement against Piers Morgan and we became even more jealous we're not part of their girl gang.

So, with this in mind, the entire world's wondering when the hell we're getting a Little Mix x Ariana Grande collaboration.

Well, thankfully for us, Hits Radio's Sarah-Jane Crawford asked the girls that very question ahead of their show stopping performance at Hits Radio Live.

WATCH: Little Mix fangirl over Ariana and talk 'dream' collaboration

Chatting to Sarah-Jane backstage at Hits Radio Live, they said: "We love her, she's our queen. Ariana's the best human ever, we love her so much."

We get the feeling they might quite like her...

Asked if a collaboration could ever come about, Jesy said "that's the dream," with Perrie adding "we'd love to."

This all comes after Ariana jumped to the girls' defense in their feud against Piers Morgan recently. Her mum Joan Grande showed Little Mix some support over their 'Strip' music video, saying: "Honestly what is wrong with you @piersmorgan ? Didn’t your mother ever teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it! You came for @TheEllenShow yesterday which was disgraceful, she is an angel. @LittleMix today, did you ever hear of paying homage? And..well never mind."

Ari then chipped in, adding: "Ellen is an incredible & kind human being.. I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to. women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it’s OUR choice. 🖤 & we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next.

"Also @piersmorgan, i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. i think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career or what’s left of it. 🖤" [sic].

G'wan, girls.

In further news, Piers has been voted the country's naughtiest celeb in Marmite's Naughty & Nice poll of 2018. He was closely followed by Jeremy Clarkson and Paul Hollywood in this year's Naughty List, with England captain Gareth Southgate topping Marmite’s Nice List.

Limited edition NAUGHTY and NICE jars are available on Marmite’s personalisation channel and make the perfect gift for lovers this year. You can personalise yours HERE.
