Jade Thirlwall started dating The Struts bassist Jed Elliott back in January. Although their relationship was an instant success, she acknowledges their busy schedules are beginning to complicate matters. In fact, Jade claims she has only seen him six times since they started dating.

Asked whether she has told Jed that she loves him yet, the Little Mix singer revealed to Fabulous magazine: “Oh yeah, we said that even before we were together properly! We went in quite quick, but when you know, you know. It’s brutal, as I’ve only seen him about six times this year, but every time I do it’s very good.”

And the artist – who is joined by fellow friends and bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – admitted their busy schedules have been increasingly difficult for their sex life.

“I was recently in America on his tour bus and it’s not that sexy when you’re trying to get it on! But you make it work.”

The star revealed more intimate details about her private life, saying that the relationship has helped her embrace her body much more.

Asked what the best and worst parts of her body are, she shared: “I quite enjoy my back. I don’t like my whole breast area, as it doesn’t really exist, but I’ve embraced them now. My boyfriend likes them!”

Meanwhile, Jade insists there is nothing wrong with looking sexy and showing off your beauty in public as long as there’s balance.

She explained: “It’s about balance and we still do kooky videos [as well as sexy ones], so we can relate to everyone.”
