Leigh-Anne Pinnock has voiced her support for the England football stars who fell victim to vile racist abuse following their defeat in the Euro 2020 final.
The Little Mix star, 29, who recently released a critically-acclaimed documentary on racism, took to Twitter on the band's account to share a heartfelt message of support for the players and reflected on the 'Black British Experience'.
After Marcus Rashford, Jason Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed crucial penalty kicks in the shootout, a slew of vile trolls posted disgusting messages targeted at the players, leading to an uprise in defense from fans.
She wrote: 'You can live here but be quiet. You can work here but not all of you. You can speak at the table but not too loud. You can play for us but you can't lose. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Black British Experience. We stand with you Kings'.
