Little Mix girls Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall were all set to launch their brand new TV talent show; Little Mix: The Search this spring, but now the BBC have confirmed the release date has been put back.

As with many TV shows, including Line of Duty, Peaky Blinders and the Britain's Got Talent live shows, the current coronavirus pandemic has forced bosses of Little Mix's new show to postpone the start of the hugely-anticipated series.
