LITTLE Mix’s Jade Thirlwall reveals shocking moment Harry Styles ‘ghosted her’ after they dated. The pair were on the talent show The X factor together back in 2010 - a year before Jade returned to win the show as part of the girlband. The singer, 32, spoke on Louis Theroux’s podcast and revealed all about her relationship with the teenage heartthrob.

She said: “ I think we went on like one date when we were 16 or something and he just got put in the band. “It was really funny because we kept in touch and then the minute they (One Direction) went on live shows, he didn’t message me back and I thought that’s it now he’s gone, he’s made it.

“Then I made it the next year and then I saw him in the room after and he was like ‘I’m really sorry that I ignored you'.". “He ghosted you? “ Louis chimed. “Yes, but again I was so young it didn’t really matter,” Jade replied. Before Jade became a global superstar she auditioned on the ITV talent show three times.

Her first audition was back in 2008 at the age of fifteen. After she was axed she auditioned on the show again, but. On her third try in 2011 she failed the first bootcamp challenge to get through to the girls category. But, it was third time lucky for Jade and she was brought back as part of a group alongside Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson.
