16 times Little Mix proved they are the best friends in the pop business

Why did Little Mix’s Perrie crop Jesy out of a group photo?

Thankfully there is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

We all know are the best of buds, so that’s why we knew there had to be a logical explanation for Perrie cropping Jesy out of a photo of the girls at Saturday’s Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards – and it turns out she was being a very good mate indeed.

Updating her Instagram caption, Perrie wrote, “Oh and Jesy is cropped out the picture because she doesn't like any of the photos!” with a laughing emoji. Seriously, what could be better than a pal who doesn’t post a bad picture of you online just because they like themselves in it?

Here are 16 more times Little Mix were absolute BFF goals.

1. When Jesy let Leigh-Anne’s Bieber Fever out of the bag

'Like a little child who's just seen Santa' - when Little Mix's Leigh-Anne met Justin Bieber

Leigh-Anne's mates spill what happened backstage at the Teen Awards...

We're sure 's flattered.

2. When they hit a karaoke bar on tour

But which of their many hits did they sing?!

3. When they dressed for the occasion in Tokyo

Because where could a Pikachu onesie be more appropriate?

4. When they indulged their junk food cravings

Sausage supper FTW.

5. When we found out Jesy gives the other girls pep talks before performances

Because every squad needs a fearless leader.

6. And they told Grimmy they all β€have to have a little pooβ€ before they go onstage

β€We all have to do a little poo before we go on stage’ – Little Mix’s oversharing game is strong

Little Mix talk about how catering on tour might explain their new pre-show ritual.

The friends that poo together, stay together... or something like that.

7. When Perrie commemorated the band’s five-year anniversary with a mushy Insta status

“5 years... 5 of the most incredible years of my life. Today we celebrate everything we've achieved together, the places we've been, travelling the world, the performances, learning what contour is, the costumes, the glitz the glam... And best of all... Our friendship!

"We laugh together, we cry together, we lost our marbles a long time ago TOGETHER, we eat, sleep, breath little mix and it makes me the happiest girl on earth. We've had our highs and we've had our lows, but the key word is WE.

"Having three shoulders to cry on, three girls to make me laugh, and smile! I'm blessed... I love you girls, more than I can ever explain! And of course mixers... You know how I feel about you. You're the fifth member in my eyes! My rocks! Thank you for everything”.

Excuse us while we shed a little tear.

8. And they celebrated winning a BRIT Award like this

9. When Leigh-Anne tweeted this on International Women’s Day

10. When Perrie and Jesy smouldered for this selfie together

So many fire emojis.

11. And Jesy labelled Perrie one of β€the three loves of my lifeβ€

Alongside stylists Jamie McFarland and Zack Tate.

12. Then they had some drinks and rolled around in a ball pit together

Goals right there.

13. When Jade made a collage of her and Leigh-Anne’s best bits for her birthday

Like all good best friends do.

14. When Jesy and Perrie went to extremes for the perfect photo

Best friends don't judge.

15. And when they called each other sisters and made us marvel at their cuteness every. Single. Day.
