Jade Thirlwall gives middle finger to Reform UK as she cries on Glastonbury debut

Glastonbury Festival goers were left in awe byJade Thirlwall, who used her performance to boldly express her disdain for Reform UK. The Little Mix star took to the Woodsies stage on Saturday where she delivered a rousing rendition of her hit FUFN.

The track, an acronym for 'F*** you for now', features a segment where JADE reels off a list of things she'd like to give the middle finger to. During her set, she chanted: "Reform! Transphobia! Selling arms! Genocide!", with the crowd echoing back a resounding "F**** you".

Introduced by Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa, the former Little Mix member became visibly emotional while introducing her top ten hit Angel of My Dreams.

Fighting back tears, she shared with the audience: "This song [Angel of My Dreams] is literally me as a song, so thank you for showing me that that's enough." Angel of my Dreams delves into the peaks and troughs of JADE's 15-year career, with lyrics stating: "selling my soul to a SYCO, they say I'm so lucky".

SYCO refers to Simon Cowell's record label, under which JADE was signed as part of Little Mix for their initial five albums. Dressed in a large fur hat, green jeans, and a white T-shirt emblazoned with "GLASTO", JADE also took a moment to pay tribute to her Little Mix bandmates.

She expressed: "I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to those girls for literally changing my life. And who would have thought, eh?

"That we'd have a Little Mix girlie up here on the Glastonbury stage. " The performance was a hit, with one attendee posting: "she killed it! I love that the crowd knew her songs and that she mentioned Little Mix too", reports Somerset Live

Another fan enthused: "Jade is the biggest Mixer ever and I live for it". Some fans expressed disbelief that Little Mix had never graced Glastonbury's stages: "The fact that Little Mix never got to perform at Glastonbury is a CRIME.

"I know JADE is going to absolutely give it her all for all three of them today." An impressed fan tweeted: "JADE's #Glastonbury set was Earth-shatteringly good. I have no words for how amazing that's made me feel for her".

Another gushed: "That #Glastonbury set from JADE is the type that makes you go... yup, Pyramid stage soon". Her stance on political issues also garnered praise: "JADE screaming "FU to justifying genocide" to a sell out crowd at Glastonbury is honestly so iconic and one of the many reasons she is my absolute favourite".

The fact that Jade's long-term boyfriend Jordan Stephens also performed at the festival was noted as charming. Jordan, known as one half of Rizzle Kicks, wowed the audience at the Other Stage on Friday, June 27, even inviting his mum to join him onstage.
