Whilst Little Mix fans are getting super excited over the prospect of 'LM5' dropping very soon, Jade Thirlwall has decided to post some hilarious snaps to Instagram showing herself as a young girl, looking TOTALLY unrecognisable. Posting two photos, Jade captioned them, 'ok but I started the highlighter trend before it was even a thing don’t @ me'. [sic]
The first photo shows the Little Mix singer with her hair tied back with a silver Alice band, wearing a black top with silver lines across it, whilst she is tentatively waving. Meanwhile, the second photo is a close-up of her face, which appears to be covered with 'smeared' make-up! Aww Jade!
Fans have been quick to comment on the newly-emerged photos saying, 'Aww what a cutie ❤️', 'Oh my goodness... 😂😂😂😂😂', 'What a trendsetting QUEEN' and 'Lmfao. 😭😂😂'.
