LEIGH-ANNE Pinnock wowed in her first solo gig with high energy dance routines and equally as impressive vocals.
Bizarre watched as she performed to a sold-out crowd at Lafayette in North London two years after Little Mix took their final bow.
She belted out tracks from her EP No Hard Feelings as well as the band’s 2016 hit single Touch.
Keen to tell her story, most, if not all, of the tracks have been inspired by Leigh-Anne’s rocky relationship with now husband, footballer Andre Gray, who watched proudly from the crowd.
But during one spoken word interlude, as she got changed off stage, Leigh-Anne made no secret of the hurt he has caused her behind the scenes.
Leigh-Anne said: “Exciting but dangerous. Six months of bliss and hell. A stolen kiss becoming pure as us together. But how do you say serves me right?
“The images, the thoughts. The phone that once connect-ed us, now a constant reminder. What are you doing? What is going on? Why would you do this to us?”
She added: “All I could see was white from my bed’s mystery eyes. My duvet keeping me warm now. The patterns, the running, the crying? Our forbidden beginning.
“What I know is that I love you. That we are a whole made from two. So I chose to open my heart to forgive. Restart. We are sunshine and summer. Destined to last.
“I’ve seen who you have chosen to become as our two became four completing our circle. You chose us. You chose not to be a replica. You know how to be a dad, and I don’t know how you do.”
Awkward!
After the gig, Leigh-Anne said she felt like she was in a room full of friends.
She said: “I was nervous but when I got on stage it was like being with my friends. I loved it.
“You know what? I did like my own stage.”
Good on her.
CAUGHT LIVE: DOJA CAT
DOJA CAT kept her crown as queen of surprises as she danced all night in silk undies to kick off her UK arena tour.
Crawling across the stage in a thong, Doja, who demanded parents leave their kids at home, delivered hit after hit from her latest album, including Paint The Town Red, Like You and Agora Hills.
The American rapper also upped the raunch factor with a whole load of boob-grabbing and belly-dancing during her steamy set at a sold-out OVO Hydro Arena.
Everyone was singing and dancing from the same hymn sheet in Glasgow – and went wild for delicious pop hit Say So.
The night was a slick affair, with no outfit changes and barely any talking – unlike last week-end’s performance at Manchester’s Parklife festival when she paid a strange tribute to Disney star Hilary Duff.
But Doja worked hard, all the same, and was dripping in sweat by the end of the night after refusing any breaks.
She took sole command, without the backing dancers that accom-pany most stars, as she danced around a giant braid hanging from the arena’s roof.
A country-inspired set featured haystacks on stage, while her hunky guitarist wore chaps.
She left fans begging for more but, instead of delivering an encore, treated them to a fireworks display to close the night.
The Scarlet Tour, with tickets are on sale through Live Nation, includes two London shows and a spot at Wireless festival next month in London’s Finsbury Park.
Pink flips out over virus
PINK kicked off the UK leg of her summer tour feeling under the weather but honestly, Who Knew?
She was struck down with a pesky stomach bug ahead of the opening night but still took the risk with impressive acrobatics at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
At one point, the So What singer, seen here in a sparkling silver leotard, matching boots and neon pink jacket, belted out 2001 single
Get The Party Started while suspended horizontally above the crowd.
She said on stage: “Wales, I freaking love it here . . . a little food poisoning can’t stop us.
“Thank you guys for coming to play with us. You look amazing.”
I thought she was a professional before, but I am truly in awe of Pink now.
MATTY ‘N’ GAB GET ENGAGED
THE 1975’s Matty Healy is engaged to model Gabbriette and she has posted the shiny, new ring on Instagram.
She partied with the bling at pal Charli XCX’s gig in New York on Tuesday as the singer – who is engaged to The 1975’s drummer George Daniel – played songs from her new album Brat.
Gab wrote on Instagram: “Marrying The 1975 is very Brat,” tagging Matty.
The pair, inset, first got together last September.
Matty’s mum Denise Welch said on Loose Women: “We couldn’t be happier.
“She is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.”
