'Raunchy': Little Mix in the video for their latest single Touch

Little Mix have ignored critics by releasing a “raunchy” music video for their latest single Touch.

Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – who were recently accused of being too sexual – can be seen writhing around on the floor and gyrating with topless male dancers in the new video.

The four piece are dressed in over the knee boots and leotards, with Edwards opting for a pink hoodie underneath a nude corset.

The video sent social media into meltdown with one fan tweeting: “Little mix's new video is very raunchy...... like wowza.”

Another posted: “Little Mix's Touch music video was kind of raunchy, the lyrics should've been changed to ‘Just a touch of your LUST’ not love.”

Others criticised the girls' look with one posting: “It's definitely not the Little Mix I know. The Little Mix I know aren't raunchy or serious. They've changed too much.”

It comes months after Mel C accused the girls of being too “provocative”.

Speaking to the Sunday People she said: “To me, they were kind of the closest thing to the Spice Girls we've seen.

“They are all gorgeous and great singers. But they weren't sexy and it's got more and more that way. I love them – but I just say, ‘Stay you’.”

Others also speculated that the song features a dig at Edwards’ ex Zayn Malik as she sings: “I feel like for the first time I am not faking.”

It wouldn’t be the first time Edwards has made a thinly veiled swipe at the former One Direction singer, who is now dating Gigi Hadid.

Shout Out To My Ex featured the lyric: “Hope she ain't fakin’ it like I did, babe.”

Touch is the second single from the girls’ album Glory Days, which is the fastest-selling album in the UK charts by a girl group since Destiny’s Child’s Survivor in 2001.
