Celebrity Traitors star Leigh-Anne Pinnock claps back at troll for pitting her against her ex Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirlwall over their streaming numbers

Leigh-Anne Pinnock clapped back at a troll for pitting her against her ex Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirlwall over their streaming numbers.

The Celebrity Traitors star and singer, 35, took issue with an X user on Wednesday who had posted the statistics of her streams in comparison to Jade's.

The troll had written: 'See what happens when you're a positive encouraging role model to younger girl groups vs a flop that loves drama.'

Leigh-Anne then responded in the comments saying: 'Ok I don't usually respond to trolls because I'm generally too busy being a mum, a wife and just being iconic. 

'But as I sit here in my mansion by the fire, lapping up the fact that I've broken records, defied expectations, sold millions of records worldwide and helped define an entire era of British pop music, I can't help but smile. 

'15 years in this industry, a successful solo career and still making history. I'm LEGACY status. A daily streaming figure could never define that.'

Leigh-Anne and Jade formed Little Mix alongside Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson – with the group soaring to fame after appearing on The X Factor in 2011. 

It comes after last week Celebrity Traitors fans branded Leigh-Anne and Miranda Hart's dancing the 'TV moment of the year', after the pair enjoyed a hilarious lesson in Little Mix moves during Friday's episode.

Leigh-Anne offered to teach Miranda, 53, one of the moves from the music video for the band's hit Touch.

The pair's dance lesson also unknowingly saved them from being 'murdered in plain sight', as while they were distracted, in the other room Traitors Maya Jama, King Kenny and James Acaster were plotting their next kill. 

After Joe Lycett's banishment, the Faithfuls and Traitors were unwinding in one of the castle rooms, with Leigh-Anne then offering to teach Miranda one of Little Mix's moves.

'I want to make your dreams come true,' the singer told the actress, before teaching her some of the moves to the group's hit Touch.

As the pair got to grips with the choreography, Hart had one important question: 'Where am I thrusting from?'

She later announced: 'Introducing Little Mix and Big Mix!'

Fans took to X to praise the moment, especially as it was cut between the Traitors plotting how they were going to kill a faithful in plain sight by 'boring them to death'.

They said: 'The Traitors trying to bore people to death with random cuts to Miranda and Leigh-Anne performing Touch has me in actual tears. That was the moment of the series;'

'Leigh-Anne and Miranda unknowingly avoiding murder because they were doing Little Mix choreography is the TV moment of the year;'    

'Miranda and Leigh-Anne being safe from murder because they're doing a Little Mix dance is actually iconic;'

'The juxtaposition of the Traitors stressed trying to get someone to yawn and Miranda and Leigh-Anne performing the choreography to Touch was an incredible piece of television;'

'I fear they will somehow blame Leigh-Anne for the killing in plain sight because of this;'

'Leigh-Anne teaching Miranda how to do the dance routine to Touch by Little Mix feels like that Miranda revival episode we never got;'

'Leigh-Anne and Miranda Hart doing the choreography to Touch by Little Mix, whilst The Traitors are trying to complete a murder in plain sight in another room are the moments reality TV is MADE for;'

'Leigh-Anne teaching Miranda Little Mix choreo; Leigh-Anne teaching Miranda her choreography is so precious;'
