Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock wows as the band film their FIRST music video since Jesy Nelson exit

Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock looked sensational as she was pictured filming the band’s first music video since Jesy Nelson’s exit for their hit single Confetti.

The singer, 29, wowed in a striking purple dress and a diamond-encrusted black corset to cinch in her svelte waist outside a London nightclub on Tuesday. 

It comes amid claims that the girl group are set to be transformed into men for the video, and despite their excitement, have found it ‘weird’ heading back to work without Jesy, 29, who recently signed her own solo deal.

According to The Sun, the video will see Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne sport facial prosthetics that will transform them into men, and have been working on the project at a secret location in London. 

A source said: ‘They’re going all out and are having full facial prosthetics, which takes hours but it will be worth it in the end. It’s a video they have wanted to do for ages.

‘It’s weird not having Jesy with them, particularly as she sings the whole first verse on the album version, but they’re making it work for them because the song has real potential.’

MailOnline contacted representatives for Little Mix for comment at the time.

Little Mix released their sixth studio album Confetti last November, featuring the number one hit Sweet Melody.  

It was their last record to feature founding member Jesy who announced her departure from the group in December after ‘constant pressure’ had ‘taken a toll on her mental health’. 

It comes after Jesy signed a solo deal with global management firm YMU, amid reports she left the girlband’s record label to launch her own career.

In a statement from the management firm, Jesy said she was ‘so excited’ and couldn’t ‘wait to start her next chapter’. 

YMU is a management company that has clients in sport, music and entertainment, including Take That, Steve Aoki, Ant & Dec and Fearne Cotton.

In a statement seen by Music Week, Jesy said: ‘I am so excited to join YMU and can’t wait to start my next chapter.’

Mary Bekhait, group CEO of YMU, said: ‘Jesy has enjoyed incredible success as a recording artist and performer and is well placed to further her remarkable career. 

‘She is a hugely talented, versatile and authentic artist with a strong creative vision, and we are looking forward to helping her realise that.’ 

Jesy confirmed her permanent departure from Little Mix in December, and said in a statement that she decided to leave the band for the sake of her mental health.

Her exit came just weeks after revealing she was taking a temporary hiatus from all work commitments.
