Jade Thirwall made a special request for a North East delicacy ahead of three upcoming Little Mix gigs in Newcastle. The South Shields native took to Instagram to gush about her excitement to be back in Newcastle.
And Jade is preparing for the shows in true North East fashion - by ordering a ham and pease pudding sandwich. The 29-year-old posted a photo of the sandwich on her Instagram stories and said it's the first time in years that she's had the local delicacy.
Jade posted on Instagram: "Shoutout to our catering for making me ham and pease pudding sandwiches since we're up north. Not had these since me Nanna made me them years ago."

Little Mix kicked off their Confetti tour at the weekend in Belfast but now the former X-Factor winners will be coming to the Toon. South Shields singers Perrie and Jade will enjoy a return to home turf as Newcastle becomes the next stop.
There will be three Little Mix shows at the Utilita Arena over Easter weekend: one on Friday night, a Saturday matinee, and a Saturday evening show. And ahead of Friday's show Jade had a message to fans in Newcastle saying "nothing makes her prouder" than performing at home.
She posted on Instagram: "We’re in the toon today. Newcastle I hope you’re ready to give it everything the next 3 shows cos I tell everyone who’ll listen you’re one of the best crowds in the world - my family and friends are in and nothing makes me prouder than performing at home! Howay the mixers!"
Jade's post comes after she admitted to being "overwhelmed," at being back out on tour. Posting a photo of herself on stage, she wrote: "Feel so overwhelmed being back onstage doing my most favourite thing in the world again with my sisters. No better feeling."
