Little Mix star Leigh Anne Pinnock reveals huge new career after the band – and it’s nothing to do with music
LITTLE Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock has revealed her new career after the pop band went on a hiatus.
The DNA songstress, 31 – who also owns her own bikini brand In A Seashell – opened up about her surprising next move for fans.
Mum of two Leigh-Anne took to her Instagram page to reveal she will be the voice of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid.
She will read the tome for users of the audible app and simply couldn’t hide her delight.
In a lengthy caption, alongside an image of her dressed as a sea goddess, she said: “I’m so excited to be narrating the original Hans Christian Anderson version of The Little Mermaid exclusively for @audible_uk.
“Dina Gregory is such an incredible storyteller; reading her adaptation truly made me feel seen in a story I’ve been so familiar with as a child.
“There are so many themes within this now iconic storyline that feel so familiar to my own life and so my narration was inspired by not only my experiences but also my culture, my heritage.
“My hope is that people like myself can see themselves in this story too and I’ve enjoyed retelling this tale to my own children already.
“I hope you all enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed narrating it! x”
Her Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirlwall was first to react, posting three crying-face Emoji icons.
The Audible account then wrote: “We’re honoured it was you who retold this version of the story.”
One fan then gushed: “This is just so wonderful and lovely.”
Another fan put: “Love seeing so many amazing opportunities come your way.”
It comes after the star made her acting debut in a festive movie back in 2020.
Leigh-Anne’s filming came days after bandmate Jesy Nelson announced she was quitting the band to help her mental health.
Meanwhile, this year she made a huge career move that could be set to secure her millions.
Leigh-Anne and fiancé Andre Gray, who own property firm G&A Organisations Ltd, acquired the old Eagle Works building in Wolverhampton, according to The Mirror.
They reportedly plan to convert the bicycle factory into 48 flats.
It is also reported that the couple have been building a holiday let in Shropshire for Airbnb and are plotting a luxury detached home in the Midlands.
Leigh-Anne’s new investment, which could make her millions, comes after pop group Little Mix announced they were taking a break after their Confetti tour last year.
