At the weekend, Little Mix performed their last show of 'The Confetti Tour' and are now on a hiatus.
The 'Shout Out To My Ex' hitmakers are taking time off after 11 years together.
Meanwhile, the trio recently promised fans their hiatus does not spell the end of the girl group.
They insisted that while they are set to launch their own solo careers, they are already discussing the next Little Mix reunion.
The girls might be doing their own things over the next few years, but they have vowed to carefully align their schedules so there is no chance of them facing each other in the charts.
Perrie told The Sun newspaper: “We’ve all said we will let each other know when we’re going to release so we don’t end up clashing in the charts. We’re rooting for each other, not competing against each other.”
Jade - who has inked a deal with Sony's RCA Records and has joined Harry Styles' management - added: “It’s just not going to happen. There will be a conscious effort from all of us to make sure of that.”
Leigh-Anne said: “We are so close and that’s the thing. We’re all going to be in communication about this the whole time.”
On already wanting to get back together before they parted, Perrie said: “Honestly, we haven’t even parted ways yet and we’re already talking about when we’re coming back! We’re like: ‘is two years away enough? Two and a bit years?'"
