Girl group Little Mix have weighed in on Camila Cabello's departure from Fifth Harmony and confessed that the news shocked them. 

Speaking about her move to pursue a solo career on 'The Zach Sang Show', songstress Jade Thirlwall explained that they didn't see it coming: "We were really shocked. We love Fifth Harmony. We think they're a great group, and they still will be. They're still four incredible performers and singers."

Member Jesy Nelson added that while it's sad to leave a group like that, it's important to follow your heart and do the things that will make you feel fulfilled: "In life you just have to do what makes you happy. If [Camila] wasn't happy, she wasn't happy. They'll continue without her and they're amazing. Either way, with or without her, they'll do incredibly well."
