Little Mix have said they put โ€œso much emotion and energyโ€ into their new album.

Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards announced details of their sixth studio album, Confetti, due for release on November 6.

Their official Instagram page broke the news with a message that said: โ€œWe are soooo happy to share this news with you guys, our new album will be all yours 6th November 2020 and you can pre-order from this Friday.

โ€œSo much love, emotion and energy has gone into the making of this record and now the news is out we can finally get excited about it with you!!โ€

The girl group also shared photos of themselves wearing colourful glitter on their faces.

Little Mix formed on The X Factor in 2011 and have become one of the countryโ€™s biggest-selling girl bands.

Last year they cancelled a string of tour dates in Australia and New Zealand to ensure they had time to record the album.

They subsequently cancelled a UK summer tour, including a headline slot at Londonโ€™s British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Last year, Nelson documented the abuse she received on social media in a programme for the BBC.

It also covered her attempt to take her own life in 2013 after becoming โ€œobsessedโ€ with negative comments.
