LITTLE Mix are ALL releasing solo albums next year, their producer and co-writer Biff Stannard has revealed.
Last month, The Sun told how Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall were all planning their own projects after the group's tour ends in spring.
And now one of their closest friends has confirmed the news after accidentally letting slip the girls' plans in a podcast.
Biff was speaking on Steve Anderson's music show Such A Good Feeling when he opened up about working with Little Mix.
He gushed: "I love the fact that their voices have just got better and better. When Jade was here recently she was doing stuff, and she just does a guide and you think 'that's okay', and then she does it properly and you think: 'F***ing hell, god, she can sing!'"
Biff went on: "I'm so excited for all… I think they're all doing a solo record."
He then hesitated, clearly catching himself, adding: "You might have to cut that out… but as far as I know they are."
Industry sources told us that the trio have been quietly negotiating new management and recording deals for 2022.
It comes after Jesy Nelson sensationally quit the group in December, with the girls' upcoming tour postponed due to the ongoing pandemic.
An insider explained: "They’ve been pretty open with each other about it. There are a lot of meetings happening at the moment.
"Some of them have already done management deals. Leigh-Anne has signed up with Dua Lipa’s manager, Jade is cutting her teeth as a songwriter and presenter, while Perrie is working on other things too.
"They still get on great, despite everything that has happened with Jesy. But her departure put the cat among the pigeons.

"They all know there will have to be a career beyond Little Mix, so they’ve put things in place. The plan is to see out commitments, then turn to solo projects almost immediately."
However, the band currently plan to put Little Mix on ice rather than call it quits completely, with the source adding: "The intention is to keep the band going too — but that’s how One Direction ended and it’s hard to believe they will have time for everything."
Leigh-Anne, Jade, and Perrie have insisted that the band won't be splitting up – but fans have pointed out some telltale signs that the end is near, including awkward group interviews, and an emotional single release that left the girls in tears.
