Jade Thirlwall was « dumped » of missing Little Mix’s performance as they were forced to sing without her during The Search
The girl group opened the concerts tonight with a stunning performance of their new hit Sweet Melody, which will be featured on their new album Confetti
However, after being quarantined, Jade could only appear virtually on the show, which meant she missed the gig
Thankfully her bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards were there to sing her roles – and fans were obsessed
« LEIGH ANNE AND PERRIE COVERING PART OF JADE », one enthused while another said: « THE PERFORMANCE WAS CRAZY BUT I LACK JADE »
Someone else added: « Omg, ever since I heard [Sweet Melody] I’m very obsessed, can’t wait to see the performance again now with Jade too »
During a chat on a video call, Jade explained, « I’m fine, gutted, I can’t be there tonight, but I’m just glad I can still do it from home »

The singer isolated herself earlier this week, with the BBC confirming she would miss being in the studio during tonight’s performance
A spokesperson for the broadcast giant said: « Jade is to self-isolate this week and will therefore be mentoring Little Mix The Search from home.
« For this Saturday’s show, Jade will participate via a video link, continuing to mentor alongside Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Perrie »
While in quarantine, that doesn’t mean she has Covid-19, but that she may have come into contact with someone who has
This isn’t the show’s only clash with the coronavirus, as last week’s show was canceled after several crew members tested positive for the virus
At the time, the BBC said: ‘We can confirm that a small number of people in the production Little Mix The Search have tested positive for the coronavirus and they are now self-isolating by following the latest government guidelines
« Due to the format of the show, we have made the decision to postpone the Saturday program
« Rigorous protocols are in place to manage Covid-19 because the safety of all those involved in production is paramount »
