Anne-Marie admits she was SHOCKED to discover Leigh-Anne Pinnock's pregnancy
They worked on The Voice together
Last updated 6th Aug 2021
The lovely Anne-Marie is on top of the world right now! As well as releasing her hugely-anticipated second album 'Therapy' last month, the pop sensation also teamed up with Little Mix girls Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock on their epic new collab 'Kiss My (Uh Oh)'.
To celebrate the catchy tune, which samples Lumidee’s early 00’s R&B classic ‘Never Leave You (Uh Oh)’ Anne-Marie joined KISS Breakfast's Harriet Rose for a lovely little chat.
As well as bravely opening up about getting therapy during lockdown, the 30-year-old also expressed her love for 2011 movie Bridesmaids, which she recreates with Little Mix in their AMAZING video for 'Kiss My (Uh Oh)'.
But perhaps the most surprising part of the whole chat was that Anne-Marie was completely unaware that Leigh-Anne Pinnock was pregnant, despite teaming up with her earlier this year for The Voice.
Speaking to Harriet, Anne-Marie confessed she was 'very shocked' to learn of the news when Leigh-Anne announced her pregnancy to the world, saying: "I had no idea either, very shocked. I mean, I'd been with Leigh-Anne on The Voice and I didn't know then she didn't tell me."
She jokingly added: "And I was actually quite annoyed because I was like, we're supposed to be friends here. Like, why are you not telling me this?"
Despite both Leigh-Anne and Perrie both being heavily pregnant during filming for the video, the '2002' singer praised the girls for being troopers throughout the shoot day, admitting it's not something she could do.
She added: "But yeah, when I found out it was crazy, and they got more and more and more and more and more pregnant and I was like we've got a music video to do.
"My whole plan was to do a dance routine with you guys. But that didn't happen. So I was just to be honest, when I was there, they were just proper troopers working through it, like going for it. And I was like, I would if I was just that pregnant. I wouldn't be I'll just be in those pizza."

Of course, if you've seen the absolute Oscar-worthy video that is 'Kiss My (Uh Oh), you'll be aware it's a recreation from hit chick-flick Bridesmaids, so we couldn't let Anne-Marie leave without discussing the thinking behind it.
Admitting she watches the movie at least once-a-week, she said: "Well, I worked with Hannah Lux Davis, who I did 'Friends', '2002' and loads of videos with and we were speaking about recreating a fifth film.
"And first of all, we were like, right, it's easier to do a musical. Right. So we're looking at Chicago, we're looking at Grease. We're trying to figure out how we can get all our characters in. And then she was like, What about Bridesmaids? And I was like, absolutely, yes. I mean, I watched this video this film once a week. Yeah, I watch it so much."
