Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall made a raunchy confession about her boyfriend Jordan Stephens when talking to Radio 1 presenter Greg James.
During a discussion about whether pop star Tom Grennan would be in the gym, Greg said it was “annoying” how shorter men can get “big quite quickly” when working out. It was then the conversation turned to Jade’s partner, former Rizzle Kicks star Jordan.
On the Radio One Breakfast Show, Greg said: “Jordan’s quite tall isn’t he? He’s quite built isn’t he?” Jade responded: “Yeah, he’s over 6ft. He’s got a lovely physique that one, a lovely bit of kit.”
The comment prompted an outburst of laughter from the producers in the studio as well as seasoned presenter Greg. The 39-year-old joked: “I’m afraid there’s no way we can’t make that into a social media clip.

Jade, who rose to fame on the X Factor with Little Mix and celebrates her birthday today (December 26), is believed to have met Jordan in 2020. The pair were spotted together in July 2020 before going official on Instagram in September.
She told The Metro the couple isolated together during the coronavirus lockdown when Jordan moved in with her housemates. The pair have been going strong for over four years since.
Jordan has previously paid tribute to the strength of their relationship. Speaking to the MailOnline he said: “I have to give a shout out to my current girlfriend. The relationship I’m in now I feel secure and safe.
"I feel love and I feel connected to a person. I didn’t have an understanding that I could feel love like this.”

Jordan, who has recently released a book talking about self-harm and heartbreak, added: “I would never recommend somebody keep their heart closed for a long time because it's isolating and I think that's where the more damaging behaviours will come from.”
This year Jade launched her solo career, releasing her first single Angel of My Dreams. It came two years after she announced with Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock that Little Mix would be taking a hiatus.
She says she has spent two-and-a-half years now working on her own material. Speaking to the BBC, Jade said she “needed that time to evolve” as her own artist away from the band.
She also admits she wasn’t ready to perform as a soloist when she entered the X Factor in 2011. Little Mix were put together during the audition stage.
Jade told the BBC: “I know back then I could never have done it on my own. I needed to go through my adult life and my womanhood with those girls around me to get me through that.
