Little Mix land Best Group nomination at the 2022 BRIT Awards just weeks after they announced break... as they're recognised for the first time as a trio since Jesy Nelson's exit
Little Mix have been nominated in the Best Group category at the 2022 BRIT Awards, just weeks after they announced they were taking a break.
The band - Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - go up against the likes of Coldplay and London Grammar and will no doubt want to emulate their success from last year in which they won the prize for the first time.
The nomination also sees the girls recognised as a trio for the first time since Jesy Nelson's exit from the band last December.

Congratulations: Little Mix have been nominated in the Best Group category at the 2022 BRIT Awards, just weeks after they announced they were taking a break
Meanwhile, Jesy, 30, has failed to be nominated for the upcoming ceremony, though she has only just embarked on her solo career with her debut track Boyz being released in October.
Little Mix have also landed a nod in the Best International Song, where alongside Galantis and David Guetta, they've been nominated for their track Heartbreak Anthem.
Last year saw the group finally bag the title of best British Group after being nominated three previous times, becoming the first girlband to EVER win the award- and ensuring to give a shout-out to their former fourth member Jesy as they collected the gong.

'It's not easy being a female in the UK pop industry, we've seen the misogyny, dominance and lack of diversity, we're proud of how we're stuck together and we're using our voices more than ever.'
Jade added: 'This award isn't just for us, it's for Spice Girls, Sugababes, All Saints, Girls Aloud, all the incredible girls bands we love you.'
