Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Leigh-Anne said: "It is nasty, but I swear just surrounding yourself with positive people and people that uplift you, not looking at it because it’s just irrelevant and it shouldn’t even be happening, it’s just so nasty.”

The 27 year old added: “Me personally, I’m in such a better place now I’m so proud of who I am. Even now I’m not 100 per cent, I don’t think anyone really is – it is a hard journey to get to that self-love place and really love yourself. It is a hard journey but you will get there.”

She also praised Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards for their supportiveness toward one another, saying: “I’m just lucky to have the girls, to have that unit, I don’t know what I’d do without that. It is a long journey but as I say I’m in a great place, so much going on.”
