Jade Thirlwall's Historic Solo Win at BRIT Awards

Jade Thirlwall, a former member of Little Mix, had a memorable night at the 2025 BRIT Awards, winning her first solo award for Best Pop Act. Known for her Egyptian and Yemeni heritage, Thirlwall expressed her gratitude with an emotional acceptance speech where she thanked her fans, team, and former bandmates. Her night was marked by a dramatic entrance as she struggled with her elaborate gown on the stairs, needing assistance from the Sugababes presenters. Thirlwall performed her debut single 'Angel Of My Dreams' during the event, which coincided with her music manager husband's social media acknowledgment post-BRITs. The ceremony also celebrated other artists like Sam Fender, who won Best Alternative/Rock Act, highlighting a successful night for North East musicians. Thirlwall's win and performance underscore her transition from a pop group member to a solo artist, maintaining ties to her Little Mix roots.
