Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall travelled to the infamous White Isle that is Ibiza earlier this month, alongside her closest friends and her boyfriend, Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens.

However, Jade has now made a comeback to Instagram, revealing to fans that somebody stole her phone whilst she was enjoying her holiday.

Responding in the best way, 29-year-old Jade uploaded a number of snaps from her trip, whilst telling fans: 'Shoutout to whoever stole my phone. Not having one for a little while was truly bliss. Anyways here’s me being a basic b--ch in Ibiza a cutla weeks ago ☀️'. (sic)

In true Jade fashion, the 'Break Up Song' hit maker chose to upload a selection of snaps of herself enjoying her hols, alongside boyfriend Jordan and her close friends.

After seeing her return to Instagram, fans were quick to hit the like button and comment with their love.

One wrote: 'Missed you. Glad you had that time off tho.🤍', with another adding: 'I was beginning to worry as you hadn’t posted on your story or anything 🥺💖'. (sic)

A third commented: 'She FINALLY posted 🔥🔥🔥🔥', with another writing: 'DAMN WE MISSED YOU ❤️'. (sic)

Jade shared the cover art for the single, as well as a short clip of the song itself - teasing a new sound we can expect to hear from her.
