Spice Girls' Geri Horner sent Little Mix flowers after BRITs victory

Little Mix girls Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall made history at The BRIT Awards on Tuesday night (11th May), when they become the first ever girl band to win the British Group accolade.

After Pez and Lee Lee showed off their baby bumps on the red carpet, the 'Confetti' singers took to the stage to collect their award, thanking girls bands such as Girls Aloud, Sugababes, All Saints and the Spice Girls in a powerful speech.

As well as the bands tweeting their support for Little Mix, Perrie has now revealed Spice Girl Geri Horner sent the most beautiful bunch of flowers to the girls, thanking them for their 'shout out'.

Sharing a snap to her Instagram Story with a number of cute notes from various people in the industry, Geri's note reads: 'Dear Perrie, Congratulations. Thank you for the shout out. Love, Geri xxx Spice Girls'.

After being crowned the winners ahead of Bicep, Biffy Clyro, The 1975 and Young T & Bugsey, the girls said: "OMG guys, we have just made history! In the hopes that we would win, we've wrote a little speech. Two of us have baby brain so we had to write it down. We have been together for ten years, it's been the best years of our lives, we have gone through so much, had so much fun, made so many beautiful memories. We want to start by thanking our incredible fans, of course Jesy and our incredible team.

"It's not easy being a female in the UK pop industry. We've seen the white male dominance, misogyny, sexism and lack of diversity. We're proud of how we've stuck together, stood our ground, surrounded ourselves with strong women and now using our voices more than ever.

"The fact that a girlband has never won this award speaks volumes, this award isn't just for us, it's for the Spice Girls, Sugababes, All Saints, Girls Aloud, and all of the incredible female bands this is for you!"

Little Mix, who are now acting a trio following Jesy Nelson's departure in 2020, also thanked their loyal fan base on social media.

Sharing a video of their BRITs speech, the girls said: 'It’s not easy being a female in the pop industry, we’ve seen the white male dominance, sexism and lack of diversity. The fact that this award has never been won by a girl group speaks volumes. This award is not just for us, it’s for all the incredible female groups that have come before us.

'Thank you to everyone who’s supported us over the last 10 years. Thank you to our incredible team, and everyone who worked with us on Confetti. And of course, to the key workers who continue to work for the health of the nation ✨'. (sic)

Little Mix celebrate their 10th anniversary this year since winning The X Factor back in 2011. Although both Perrie and Leigh-Anne are pregnant with their first babies, the group are still expected to go on tour next year, after postponing their 'Confetti' tour until April 2022.
