SPENDING a morning with Little Mix is like being in the eye of a hair extension, bronzer and fake eyelash tornado – with the occasional twerk thrown in for good measure.

It’s the first time the girls have seen each other after getting a rare four weeks off before going back into promo for new single Shout Out To My Ex.

It’s the fifth time we’ve interviewed the foursome – and they’re sassier than ever before.

Do you want people to read into the lyrics for your new single Shout Out To My Ex?
Jesy We’re not going to shy away from situations that have happened. We’ve all been through heartbreak and love, so we’ve written a song that girls can relate to. It’s kind of an “up yours!”. I love that they will think: “Oh, f**k you,” when they hear it. That’s why I feel so lucky that we can express ourselves through our music.
It’s very feisty…
Leigh-Anne We are not holding back on this album – we’re giving it everything.
Perrie [Puts on an American accent] No more nice Little Mix… No more nice girls!

What would you shout out to an ex?
P I’m all the way up and I’m never coming down.
L-A In my opinion, they always come back and this could be a way of saying: “Do you know what? Too late. I didn’t like you anyway!”

There’s a lyric in SOTME about faking it in bed. Have you ever done that?
P I think every girl has done that.
L-A Sometimes you feel bad and don’t want them to feel awkward, so you just do it.
P You’re so funny!
Jade We’ve all been there.
L-A Or if you’re getting bored of it.
Jade And you want it to be over and you’re just like: “Come on…!”
P It’s what every girl thinks and what every girl’s been through. We’re just saying it in a song.
L-A Also, if your ex has been a bit of an a***hole, then it’s nice to belittle them!

How body-confident are you?
Jesy As we’ve got older, we genuinely don’t give a s**t any more. [The constant scrutiny] is hard to take when you’re young, but now we’re more confident. We’re happy to be how we are, and don’t care if we put on a couple of pounds. I feel like curves are really in at the moment – I love that they’re celebrated.
L-A They should always be in. I went to London Fashion Week in September and some models were really skinny.
Jesy You should celebrate any size. If you can rock your body with confidence, and you’re happy in your own skin, there’s nothing sexier. I feel like we’re all in a really good place with how we feel about ourselves.

Do you ever let online comments about your appearance affect you?
Jesy We never read comments any more. I think if people want to comment about you, what does it say about them? It just shows you they’ve got no life.
P People are always going to be negative. When we started out, it was like when you’re in a playground and the whole school was talking about you: “Oh my god, did you see what Perrie did?” It was that, but on a world scale and it was weird. But now, I couldn’t give a f**k.

Are diets a dirty word?
Jesy We love to eat healthy, but then we’ll have days when what we eat is unforgivable. I had the biggest Domino’s yesterday, but don’t care because it f**king made me happy. Then I’ll eat healthy for the rest of the week and have another cheat day.
P Nothing makes me happier than food.
Jesy We’re all such foodies. It’s not good to eat s**t all the time, but we’re normal and like to eat s**t!
