Jade Thirlwall was shocked as she was named Best Pop Act at the BRIT Awards 2025 with Mastercard.
The 32-year-old singer was part of Little Mix from 2011 until 2021 before launching a solo career with tracks like 'Angel of My Dreams' and appeared open-mouthed when it was revealed that she had won the prize.
Speaking live on stage at London's O2 Arena on Saturday (01.03.25), she said: "Oh my God, what?! This is my first solo BRIT Award. Oh my God! I can't cry because I've got to sing later but I did do a little piece of paper in case I won.
"I know it's cringe!
"Firstly, oh my God, I'm flustered, I need to thank the fans because that's why I've won the award. Thank you so much for supporting me and relentlessly forcing everyone around you to vote for me.
"I wanna thank my fabulous team because it really does take a determined village to make a good pop act."
The 'It Girl' hitmaker - who has been dating Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens since 2020 - beat off competition from Charli XCX, Dua Lipa , Lola Young and Myles Smith for the accolade.
Jade concluded her speech by thanking her significant other as well as her parents for always believing in her before giving a shoutout to her former bandmates Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
She added: "My partner Jordan, me mam, dad, em brother and all my family and friends for always believing in me. Thank you for always making me believe that it was a realistic goal to be a pop star since I was a little girl.
"And finally, of course, my Little Mix sisters. I love you so much. I wouldn't have this award without them and they changed my life. I'm so grateful."
