Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock mark acting debut with 'Boxing Day'


Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock is now also a movie actress!

On Instagram, Tuesday, the English singer shared the poster and trailer of her film "Boxing Day."

As seen in the nearly one-minute peek, Leigh-Anne plays superstar Georgia, whose ex-flame Melvin (Aml Ameen) comes to London with his current fiancée, Lisa (Aja Naomi King).

"I'm truly honoured to have been able to be a part of this film but also truly proud to witness the arrival of a film that celebrates black culture, black talent, and black love," she said.

Written by Ameen, Leigh-Anne said the film aims to show that they can also be the stars of rom-coms.

"Aml Ameen wrote this film not conforming to what society associates with black culture. We don't always have to dominate films associated with crime and violence," she wrote.

"The spotlight really shines on us all so differently in this film and I can't wait for you to witness it."

Leigh-Anne also shared the great news on the British group's Twitter page, saying that she is proud and overwhelmed to be in an all-black cast Christmas romantic-comedy film.

"Please support and spread the word! I'm so flipping excited for this," she said.

"Boxing Day" is set to premiere on December 3.
