So what’s going on?! Never fear, as things aren’t exactly as they seem. In fact, the ‘apology’ video is actually a hilariously tongue-in-cheek joke amongst the group and their fans.

In the video, Jesy continued, saying: ‘We just want to apologise.’ Before Jade explained: ‘What we did was wrong – we shouldn’t have snatched your wigs’.

The clip also showed an LBC radio presenter revealing that: ‘A pandemic has been sweeping the nation, as Little Mix fans have been losing their wigs over the ladies’ new single, Woman Like Me.’

It also continued to show funny social media clips of fans claiming to be devastated after ‘losing their wigs’, after hearing the song on the radio.

Now, if you’re confused, never fear. According to Capital FM, to lose your wig means to be so amazed by something that your hair literally flies off your head, suggesting the girls’ fans have been left gob-smacked (in a good way) by their latest single. You learn something new every day!

Fans were left in hysterics over Little Mix’s cheeky apology video, with many saying they were worried before watching it. One said: ‘BAHAHAHA I WAS SO CONCERNED’.
