Revealing she was a big fan, the young caller added about not being able to see the band perform: ‘Uhm, quite sad.’

Yet Jamie and Amanda decided to surprise Imogen as they had Leigh-Anne live on air who sent her well-wishes. 

Jamie teased: ‘Well listen, lots of people have had things cancelled, they can’t go to events to see their favourite artists, so what we thought we would do for you as a little surprise. 

‘We’ve got someone here who wants to say hello to you. Here is Leigh-Anne from Little Mix, live on the phone, Imogen meet Leigh-Anne, Leigh-Anne meet Imogen.’

The radio exchange was also filmed with Imogen left speechless over the surprise as a grinning Leigh-Anne said: ‘Hi! How are you?

‘I’m so sorry we aren’t going to be able to perform for you,’ to which Imogen replied: ‘It’s ok!’

With Leigh-Anne adding: ‘It’s so nice to meet you though!’

Amanda was left smiling over the sweet surprise as she gushed: ‘She [Imogen] can’t even speak!’ 

The Britain’s Got Talent judge also complimented Leigh-Anne on her tidy walk-in wardrobe, where the interview took place.

Earlier this month, Little Mix announced that they’ve cancelled their planned UK summer tour, amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall were scheduled to embark on their tour in June, with stops including London’s Hyde Park on July 4.

But amid the crisis, they stated on Twitter: ‘We are sad to announce that following the latest government advice, we have to cancel out upcoming UK Summer Tour. 

‘The health and safety of all our fans and crew is always our number one priority. Please look out for an email from your ticketing agent shortly. Please only contact them if you have not received an email by May 5th.’ 

Reiterating government advice, the singers stressed safety first, as they concluded: ‘Please stay safe and stay home, lots of love, the girls x.’

The cross-country roadshow, which was set to run between June and August, was set to include stops in Leicester, Hull, Aberdeen and Cardiff.
