Leigh-Anne Pinnock says Celebrity Traitors has boosted her confidence
Leigh-Anne Pinnock says Celebrity Traitors has helped restore her confidence and voice.
The singer discussed this with her fellow contestants during an episode of the show.
She rose to fame in Little Mix, which won The X Factor in 2011 and became a worldwide success.
Pinnock said being in a group may have led her to make herself smaller, and that she can take time to feel fully herself away from the stage.
Defending herself in the game has helped her speak up.
She began a solo career in 2023, after Little Mix went on indefinite hiatus in 2022.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock said competing on Celebrity Traitors has helped her feel more confident about speaking up.
She said having to defend herself in the game gave her confidence to use her voice.
Pinnock said she sometimes “shrink[s]” herself and wondered whether this came from being in a group.
She said she is different on stage and off stage, and it takes her time to come out of herself.
Little Mix went on indefinite hiatus in 2022, and Pinnock began a solo career in 2023.

What people are saying
Having to defend myself in this game has given me a bit of confidence to have a voice
I do tend to do this thing where I kind of shrink myself a little bit, and I don't know if that's from being in a group.
When I'm on stage, I'm on stage. When I'm off stage, I'm just Leigh-Anne, and I think it does take me a little bit of time to completely come out of myself.
