Little Mix might have started their hiatus back in May, but that hasn't stopped us following what Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock are up to.

In the week that Little Mix celebrated 11 years since they won The X Factor, Perrie Edwards has shared a super cute video of her son Axel.

Perrie shares one-year-old Axel with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and has sent us into cuteness overdrive with a video of her son enjoying the snow in her garden.

The Little Mix singer took to Instagram to say: 'Axel melts my heart experiencing snow for the first time! ❄️♥️'.

The montage video shows Axel wearing a snug khaki snowsuit and wooly hat, as he walks through the snow. The video then cuts to him trying to put a piece of coal onto a snowman which towers over him, before Perrie scoops him up and helps him put a carrot onto the snowman as a nose. ☃️

Fans and celebrities have been flooding Perrie's comments, with one saying: 'My heart 🥹😍❤️', another said: 'I was waiting for this ❄️🫶'.

Perrie's hair stylist Aaron also commented: 'Not gonna lie babes, he looks a bit over it 😂', to which she replied: 'Axel was unsure of the snow HATCHI on the other hand LOVES IT ❄️ IN HIS ELEMENT'. Aaron then replied: 'my fave part was HatchiBoy stealing the limelight….OBV', with Perrie commenting: 'oh of course. Olaf was for me OBV'. (sic)

Meanwhile, since Little Mix started their hiatus earlier this year, Perrie has been concentrating on solo projects including her brand Disora, and working on solo music. According to Little Mix songwriter Kamille, Perrie's new music will 'blow everyone's minds'.

Back in August, Kamille spoke to officialcharts.com about working with Perrie and songwriter and producer Fred Again. She told them what we can expect from Perrie's solo music, saying: "They’re just so early in their discovery of what they want to do.

"There’s so many things that they’re interested in. The best thing right now is that we’re having fun discovering. Hearing their voices on stuff you wouldn’t typically hear it on is just sending me.

"It’s so, so exciting for me. Can you imagine, as someone who’s used to just one thing with them? I couldn’t even pinpoint it, but just know it’s going to blow everyone’s minds."

There is no word yet on when we might hear this new music, but we hope to hear some in 2023!
