Little Mix reveal they went through therapy in the wake of Jesy Nelson's exit

Little Mix have revealed they underwent therapy as a trio in the wake of former band member Jesy Nelson's exit in December.

In a new interview, the X Factor winners - Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - opened up about getting treatment together, with new mum Perrie admitted they 'really needed it'.

Speaking to Buzzfeed about their new album Between Us, the girls also detailed how their therapy sessions were the inspiration behind the song Cut You Off, which is about letting go of toxic people in one's life.

During the chat, Little Mix explained some the meanings of some of the newer songs on the anniversary album, which is a celebration of their 10 years together as a group.

And as she detailed the thought process behind Cut You Off, Perrie told how the song spanned from the three embarking on therapy sessions which came after a tough year amid the coronavirus pandemic and Jesy sensationally quitting the group.

She explained: 'Cut You Off is about someone who's really toxic in your life and you don't want anymore. We actually went to therapy as a group, which we think is really, really helpful. We got told to envision the people that are negative in our lives and the people who don't make us feel very good about ourselves.

'And we imagined big scissors to cut people off — and then Jade came up with the concept to make it into a song, which I thought was really freaking cool.'

The new mum, 28, added that the three of them 'really needed' their therapy, having had both individual and group sessions, adding that it was 'amazing' that they could all be there for one another and 'cry together'.  

Elsewhere, the Sweet Melody hitmakers detailed the biggest things they'd learned from their decade together, with Jade discussing the strong bond they have amid the 'fickle' music industry.
