Little Mix say their upcoming new album is more "fun" than their last record.

The British group are expected to release their third studio effort later this year.

Their previous album 'Salute' came out in 2013 and Jade Thirlwall told The Sun that their new record is more lightsome.

She said: "'Salute' was very R&B and dark, this album is more fun. And there's a lot of banter on it."

The singer added that Jessie J and Jess Glynne will feature on the record. She said:

"I think the Jessie collaboration is a song the fans will like.

"And a lot of the cheeky banter on the album comes from Jess Glynne, she's one of the most fun people to be around."
