‘I absolutely buckled’ So, Jade from Little Mix has social media in BITS

Every single one of us knows how hideous first dates can be, so to think a stranger – and a famous one at that – might be rooting for you and your date from across a restaurant would hit anyone in the feels, right?

Well, Twitter certainly thinks so if the reaction to a recent post from Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall is anything to by.

Taking to social media last night, the X Factor success story explained that while on a night out with her boyfriend, they spotted a girl on a first date and really wanted to boost her confidence, but Jade lost her bottle at the crucial moment.

"To the young lady we just sat next to at The Shard who'll probably never see this, Jed and I followed you and your date out of the restaurant and down the lift (bit weird) to try and tell you how beautiful you were, "Jade wrote.

"We could see it was a first date and a bit nerve wracking and we thought it would give you a confidence boost and make you look good in front of your date (we've all been there)" she continued.

"Needless to say when the time came to seize the moment in the revolving door we squeezed in with you (again, weird) to tell you how pretty you looked, I absolutely buckled and couldn't do it," Jade confessed.

"And now you'll never know how much we were rooting for you. We hope the rest of your date goes well," she finished before signing off on behalf of herself and her boyfriend Jed.

Unsurprisingly, Little Mix fans fell all over themselves as they rushed to tell Jade how lovely she was, with one writing; "AWWW it's so sweet I bet if she sees this it'll make her day lol."

"This is lowkey the cutest thing I ever read in my whole life," gushed another.

How much do we hope that gal spotted it?!
