Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall forced to self-isolate and stay at home for The Search’s first live show on Saturday
LITTLE Mix's Jade Thirlwall has been forced to self-isolate - meaning she won't be in the studio for the first live show of The Search this weekend.
The BBC announced tonight that the 27-year-old singer will appear via video-link from her home instead.
A statement read: "Jade has to self-isolate this week and will therefore be carrying out her role as Mentor on Little Mix The Search from home.
"For this Saturday's show, Jade will participate via video link, continuing to mentor alongside Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Perrie."
People need to self-isolate if they show coronavirus symptoms or it is revealed they have the disease.
You also have to quarantine if someone they live with or a member of their support bubble has the virus - or if they have recently returned from certain countries.

Jade's video-link appearance on The Search comes after the original live show was pulled from TV schedules earlier this month when members of the team tested positive for coronavirus.
A statement released by the show read: "We can confirm that a small number of people on the Little Mix The Search production have tested positive for coronavirus and they are now self-isolating following the latest government guidelines.
"Due to the format of the show we have made the decision to postpone Saturday's programme.
"There are rigorous protocols in place to manage Covid-19 as the safety of all those involved in the production is paramount. We hope to be back on air on Saturday 24th October."
