What is Leigh-Anne: Race, Pop & Power about?
In a new BBC1 documentary, Leigh-Anne opens up about how racism within the music industry and the country as a whole has “ruined” her decade-long career in the group.
In Leigh-Anne: Race, Pop & Power she reveals she was left feeling “lost and invisible” — leading her to question whether she was only put in the group as the “token black girl”.
In the documentary, Leigh-Anne meets other black artists who have faced similar situations, including Alexandra Burke and Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan.
The film also sees her rally her record label Sony to introduce more diversity and champion black creatives.
What has Leigh-Anne said about the documentary?
Last summer Leigh-Anne took to her Instagram account to announce she would be presenting the documentary.
She gushed: "I am so happy to finally reveal that I will be doing a documentary for @bbcthree about Racism and Colourism in the UK!
"These conversations need to be bought to a wider audience and I want to do all I can to stand up for my black and brown community! I cant say too much, but watch this space!"

In an interview The Guardian, Leigh-Anne explained what she hopes the documentary will achieve.
She explained: "The majority of the film is me talking about my experiences, being the darkest member of my band in my very white pop world.
“I really wanted people to see that just because I’m successful doesn’t mean I’m not going to be affected by racism.”
