Jade Thirlwall left red-faced as jade thirlwall defended by Jordan Stephens
Jade Thirlwall was left flustered when Michael McIntyre projected her phone to the audience on his Big Show, and her boyfriend Jordan Stephens stepped in to defend her. The former Little Mix star became embarrassed after the host scrolled through her Pinterest boards live on stage.
How the on-air moment unfolded
The exchange took place as part of a segment on Michael McIntyre’s programme. Jade handed control of her phone to Michael, 50, and allowed him to project her screen to the audience in the venue. The host decided to scroll through her Pinterest boards and clicked into various collections that revealed images Jade had saved.
Phone, Pinterest and projected screen
Michael used the image-sharing app to flick through her boards, which included labels such as Tattoos, Jordan, Learning, Christmas and Holidays. Among those boards was one called Wedding. As he scrolled through the many images in that collection, stills of women wearing white repeatedly appeared on the big screen, prompting continued amusement from the crowd.
Jade Thirlwall reaction and quotes
When Michael first clicked into the app, Jade appeared nervous. She put her head in her hands and made an embarrassed sound, saying: “Let’s just scroll up there, because…” As Michael opened the Wedding folder, Jade said she was “getting hot” and fanned herself from her seat. She went on to joke: “That’s so weird there’s a wedding folder on there, even though I haven’t been proposed to. ” Seeking reassurance from the audience she added: “That’s just in case, does any other women have that on their phone?” The audience erupted in laughter as the photos didn’t seem to stop.
Jordan Stephens' defence on stage
Jade, 33, has been dating Rizzle Kicks’ Jordan, 34, since 2020. After Michael revealed the photos she’d been collecting and Jade became embarrassed, Jordan said: “I think you can step out of this one, boss. ” He added: “These are nice dresses though, to be fair. ” Jordan could be seen laughing as the host continued to scroll.
Audience reaction and Michael's jokes
Michael poked fun at the volume of images in the Wedding folder, joking as he flicked through: “It would just be nice to get a sense of it ending. ” As the audience continued to laugh, Michael pretended to speak covertly to Jordan on stage, saying: “Jordan get out of there. Jordan get out of there. ” The sequence left jade thirlwall visibly flustered but laughing along with the room.
On stage, the Angel Of My Dreams hitmaker’s fluster came from a personal moodboard she said she keeps for inspiration for her big day, despite not being engaged.
All participants and the full sequence of the live moment — from Jade handing over her phone, Michael, 50, scrolling Pinterest, the discovery of a Wedding board, Jade’s reactions and jokes, Jordan Stephens’ comments, to the audience laughter and Michael’s final covert line — were part of the televised segment.
