Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock 'negotiating seven-figure book deal as she pens memoir on identity and pop career'
Leigh-Anne Pinnock is reportedly negotiating a seven-figure book deal which will focus on her identity and her experiences in Little Mix.
The singer, 30, was said to have been spurred on by the success of her BBC Three documentary Race, Pop And Power and now wants to put pen to paper.
A source told The Sun: 'This is stuff she's passionate about - it isn't going to be an expose on life in a pop band, more an insight into her feelings about who she has become in that time, what she stands for and what she believes in.

'The reaction to her documentary really spurred Leigh-Anne to want to do more. She knows her platform can help other people too and she wants to represent as many young women like her as she can.
'This is about stepping out from a band and defining who she is going to be as an independent woman and as an artist going forwards. She's very excited at the prospect of working on it and getting it out to fans.'
The insider added that Leigh-Anne has a 'clear vision' of where she would like her solo career to go and has already got a record deal.
She has also been working on her acting career, having recently starred in the Christmas film Boxing Day.
