Leigh-Anne grew up in High Wycombe with her parents and sister before being propelled to fame after appearing on X-Factor in 2011.
After Jesy Nelson left girl group Little Mix, which was formed on the show, the band continued as a trio until 2022.
Leigh-Anne was the first to release new music by herself in 2023.
She delighted fans by dropping her debut solo song 'Don't Say Love' last year, and she has gone on to release 'My Love' and earlier this year, 'Stealin' Love'.
Away from music, Leigh-Anne is said to have invested along with her footballer beau Andre Gray in an old factory in Wolverhampton to turn into flats.
Their twin girls were born in August 2021 before she and Gray wed in 2023.
