This earth-shattering revelation was shared as the 25-year-old singer appeared alongside bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards on Australian radio earlier this week.

“Jesy you were in Harry Potter,” the DJ revealed, to which the star replied: “I was in Harry Potter! I’ve been in a few others, including About A Boy with Hugh Grant. You can actually see me if you pause the tape.”
