Little Mix fans were left teary-eyed after watching Jade Thirlwall ‘s poignant tribute on The Great British Bake Off before pal Jesy Nelson ‘s exit from the band.
Jesy sent shockwaves across the world when she announced she was leaving the girlband in December last year.
And in the Bake Off episode Jade is in for Stand Up To Cancer, the singer’s touching tribute to her bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and ex-bandmate Jesy left fans feeling emotional.
After she was asked to bake something she couldn’t live without, Jade’s adorable tribute saw the singer bake gingerbread cookies and decorate each one to resemble that of her bandmates.
Each of the cookie figures was dressed in a red outfit, and Jade even made sure to colour the hair accordingly.
Jade even made sure the cookie figures all stood up on a stage as she presented her delicious treat to the judges.
Fans rushed to Twitter to share their thoughts on the adorable gesture.
“Crying over jade making a little mix concert out of cookies,” wrote one emotional fan.
Another penned: “Jade made ot4 as cookies and she even drew their tour outfits as they were. My heart can’t take that much.”
While a third added: “Jade making ot4 cookies as something she can’t live without, i’m not crying you are.”
Elsewhere in the show, Jade admitted that Paul Hollywood ‘s eyes made her “hot and bothered”.
She tries to instigate a handshake with him, but things don’t quite go to plan.
But before making the move she tells the cameras: “I think I will be a bit starstruck when I see Paul and Prue.
“I am a proper fan and Paul’s eyes are something else aren’t they? I’m getting all hot and bothered.”
Then after meeting him for this first time, she adds: “Oh, Paul’s eyes! Very intense isn’t it?”
Singer Jade, 28, appears on the episode alongside comedian Katherine Ryan, presenter Stacey Dooley and YouTube star KSI.
