Leigh-Anne Pinnock has recently released her first single Don’t Say Love, and described the reactions from Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, which concerned some fans.

During an interview with Capital radio, Leigh-Anne revealed that Jade, 30, first heard the single during her luxurious hen do and even got an early listen to the second single too.

The 31-year-old explained how it happened and what she was feeling in the moment: ‘It was just literally by the pool. Let me tell you, I was so scared to play it to her.’

‘It was weird, but she loved it so I was just buzzing,’ she recalled.

Whereas, when it came to Perrie’s reaction, Leigh-Anne spoke about seeing her comments on social media.

Following the song’s release Perrie posted on Instagram stories: ‘The most EPIC video ever, so proud of my @LeighannePinnock’.

‘I saw Perrie’s comments and stuff. They’re just there, and they are supporting.’

Leigh-Anne also told hosts Roman Kemp, Sian Welby and Chris Stark why their support means so much to her.

‘I just want their approval. They’re still part of me,’ she sweetly revealed.

Perrie, 29, was also seemingly absent from Leigh Anne’s wedding to footballer Andre Gray, and her single launch party.

During the latter Leigh-Anne praised her former bandmate Jade for ‘showing up for me every f*****g time.’

This hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans who questioned whether they had a close friendship.

On a TikTok of Leigh-Anne’s Capital interview, fans took to the comment section to voice their concerns.

‘I mean defo Leigh-Anne and Perrie not that close. She said saw Perrie’s comments,’ wrote one person.

Another added: ‘I just don’t think they are close, not a crime to drift apart. The band connected them. And it doesn’t now. No harm done.’

Other people jumped to the defence of their friendship.

‘Y’all are so boring, she literally says THEY ARE PART OF ME and y’all are out here concocting nonese for your entertainment lol.’

While, others pointed out that in a different part of the interview, she discussed getting closer to Perrie when they were both pregnant with their first children.

Metro.co.uk have contacted Perrie and Leigh-Anne’s representatives for comment.

Arsenal are set to submit an improved offer for Kai Havertz (Picture: Getty)

Arsenal fans appear split over Mikel Arteta’s decision to target a move for Chelsea’s Kai Havertz, but club legend Thierry Henry sees shades of one of the best players of the Emirates Stadium era in the Germany international.

The Gunners are expected to return with an improved offer for the Bayer Leverkusen forward, who has been a divisive figure at Stamford Bridge following his £72million move from Bayer Leverkusen three years ago.

While Havertz’s name will always be etched into Chelsea folklore given his winning goals in the finals of the Champions League and Club World Cup, he has frustrated a succession of managers who have struggled to get the best out of him on a consistent basis.

Whether it be as a false nine, out on the flanks or a conventional No.10, Havertz has rarely threatened to establish himself as a consistent fixture in one position under the likes of Frank Lampard, twice, Thomas Tuchel or Graham Potter.

Havertz gave arguably one of his best ever performances in a Chelsea shirt in what turned out to be one of the final games of Potter’s ill-fated reign when his two goals helped the Blues reach the quarter finals of last season’s Champions League.

Chelsea trailed Borussia Dortmund following a narrow first leg defeat, but Havertz capped a fine overall performance leading the line with a decisive second half penalty.

Aside from his composure from the spot. Henry was taken by Havertz’s hold-up play which he insisted reminded him of Robin van Persie during his prime.

He told CBS Sports at the time: ‘I thought he was good on the first goal you could see held the ball ever so well.

‘He reminds me sometimes, a little, of Robin back to goal the way he can hold the ball. Robin van Persie was very good with his left foot, the touch was always immaculate he tried to bring people along.

‘This is why out of the guys that used to be wingers or No.10 he plays as a nine because with his his back to goal he can hold the ball well.

‘Now he needs to make sure he can transform that into more goals because you can play off him.’

Martin Kemp left his son Roman cringing after a raunchy confession (Picture: Channel 4)

Roman Kemp was left absolutely mortified after his dad Martin made a raunchy confession about his mum Shirlie.

The Radio DJ and his Spandau Ballet star dad have a pretty close relationship, and make regular appearances on Celebrity Gogglebox.

However, sometimes they’re a bit too close… as Roman discovered in a preview clip of Friday’s edition of the programme, which also saw the likes of Chris Packham and Davina McCall.

The I’m A Celebrity star, 30, began: ‘Here we are, it’s the new raunchy one on Netflix. It’s the one you’ll be watching and then mum will come in and you’ll try and close the laptop.’

Martin, who married to singer Shirlie Holliman since 1988, insisted: ‘I do not!’

Leaving Roman absolutely disgusted in the clip shared with The Sun, he continued: ‘Me and mum watch all that stuff together.’

Roman continued looking truly grossed out, hiding his face as Martin went on: ‘There is nothing wrong with watching raunchy stuff with your Mrs. There isn’t.’

The final straw was when Martin revealed: ‘Mum likes it!’

‘Oh shut up, man!’ Roman hit back, as Martin insisted: ‘She does!’

This comes after a previous episode of Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox saw Roman storm off after his dad revealed another intimate detail.

The pair were sharing the sofa as they watched new Netflix programme How To Build A Sex Room, but their segment descended into disaster when Martin revealed a little too much…

The ‘cheeky’ interior design show sees luxury interior designer Melanie Rose helping people across America transform their ordinary homes into spaces with a little more spice, from sex dungeons to erotic home spas.

Watching a clip from the series, Martin commented on the couples in the series who request a room in the house to transform into their sex room, saying: ‘I don’t want a room that’s just dedicated to sex.

‘Why can’t you have sex everywhere?’

Roman commented: ‘Well you don’t have… oh gross!’

Martin didn’t stop there, but added: ‘Well you do!,’ before adding, much to Roman’s disgust: ‘Me and mum, everywhere!’

‘Oh that’s disgusting,’ Roman said, as he clearly couldn’t take anymore and walked off.

‘No I’m sitting on the sofa,’ he said, walking off.

Martin tried to redeem himself: ‘No we do, everywhere around the house.

‘There’s not like a special room. There’s not a special room that we do it in.’

Martin and Shirlie were revealed to be Cat and Mouse (Picture: ITV)

Earlier this year, husband-wife duo Martin and Shirlie were revealed to be the famous faces behind Cat and Mouse on The Masked Singer, becoming the third elimination of the series.

A video shared on social media hilariously revealed the moment Roman and his sister Harley Moon were gifted with the huge surprise that their parents took part in the competition.

As the couple were unmasked, Roman stood up exclaiming: ‘Shut the f*** up, oh my god, I knew it!’

He then repeatedly shouted ‘I knew it’ at the screen as Harley and Shirlie giggled on the sofa.

‘You’re a liar! Look at you both there!’ he shouted at them, before both kids shared their pride for their mum with a family hug.

‘Well done!’ they echoed, before Roman reassured fans that he did ‘grill’ his parents about their secret.

After revealing who they were, Martin and Shirlie joked: ‘This is going to embarrass him,’ when judge Mo questioned whether Roman knew.

‘Most people say they are doing it for their kids,’ Shirlie said, before Martin added: ‘We’re doing it to embarrass them.’

Celebrity Gogglebox is available to watch on All4.
