Little Mix: The Search postponed due to the Coronavirus
The show was due to arrive in spring
Little Mix girls Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall were all set to launch their brand new TV talent show; Little Mix: The Search this spring, but now the BBC have confirmed the release date has been put back.
As with many TV shows, including Line of Duty, Peaky Blinders and the Britain's Got Talent live shows, the current Coronavirus pandemic has forced bosses of Little Mix's new show to postpone the start of the hugely-anticipated series.
The BBC confirmed the news to the Daily Mirror, with a representative saying, "In light of the spread of Covid-19, after much consideration, it has been decided that Little Mix The Search will be postponed until further notice."
Despite the news, an exact date of when the show will land hasn't been announced by bosses.
Meanwhile, just last week, Jade Thirlwall told This Morning that the girls have found some amazing talent so far, saying, "We’ve found some amazing bands, some amazing artists and we can’t wait for the world to see it. We’ve already started the editing process with the team… we’re quite chilled out about it, we’re not getting stressed at all.”
