Earlier this month, JADE gave fans an update on her upcoming album, telling RadioTimes.com at the 2025 BRIT Awards: "The album is... literally next week I’m finishing the track list, signing off the artwork and then we’re off!"

The former Little Mix star added: "I feel really grateful that I’ve not released that much music on my own yet, so to be nominated for two awards is really special."

"Especially to be nominated for Song of the Year is crazy, and then for Pop Act. It’s actually been very wholesome seeing all the fans together to vote and rally together. Very self-affirming to see that I’ve got some fans," she laughed.

Tickets for Radio 1’s Big Weekend will go on sale from 5pm on Thursday 13th march and will cost £33 (plus a £4.50 booking fee per ticket.
