Little Mix's Sexy "Touch" Video
Little Mix bump and grind through their surprisingly sexy "Touch" video.

Little Mix is generally one of the least controversial acts on the planet (until now their biggest crime has been ripping off G.R.L.), but the girls have come under fire for clueless comments made during an interview with Zach Sang. They were asked about issues facing women and replied with a pat: “I think we do it through our music mostly.” Jade Thirlwall did elaborate somewhat. “We have a lot of girl power anthems, you know about making women feel confident and just encouraging women to stand up for themselves really.”

While not the most inspiring response, it seems perfectly reasonable given their sugary sweet image. However, things got a little messy when they were asked about British PM Theresa May, who has a notoriously tough stance on immigration and is currently pushing Brexit through parliament. “Of course,” Little Mix replied when asked if they like her, adding “a little bit of girl power”. They also support Donald Trump‘s proposed trip to the UK. “We welcome visitors,” was Jade’s unpopular answer. Watch the interview below and see some of the angry tweets it inspired.
