Jordan Stephens Steps In to Support Jade Thirlwall After Awkward TV Moment
In a heartwarming display of partnership, musician Jordan Stephens swiftly defended his girlfriend, former Little Mix member Jade Thirlwall, after she found herself in an embarrassing situation during a recent television appearance. The incident occurred on Michael McIntyre's Big Show, where Thirlwall's personal Pinterest boards were projected for the studio audience to see.
The Unplanned Revelation
As part of the popular comedy program's segment, Thirlwall, 33, handed control of her smartphone to host Michael McIntyre, 50. The comedian proceeded to scroll through her Pinterest account, eventually landing on a collection titled "Wedding" among other boards labeled Tattoos, Jordan, Learning, Christmas, and Holidays. This discovery visibly flustered the singer, who has been in a relationship with Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens, 34, since 2020.
Thirlwall immediately became nervous, suggesting they "scroll up there" before putting her head in her hands and making embarrassed sounds. She remarked, "That's so weird there's a wedding folder on there, even though I haven't been proposed to," seeking reassurance from the audience by asking if other women maintained similar collections on their phones.
Stephens' Chivalrous Intervention
As McIntyre continued to scroll through what appeared to be an extensive collection of wedding dress images and inspiration photos, joking about the seemingly endless stream of pictures, Stephens stepped in with supportive comments. The musician told his girlfriend, "I think you can step out of this one, boss," before adding, "These are nice dresses though, to be fair."
The audience erupted in laughter as McIntyre pretended to covertly advise Stephens, saying, "Jordan get out of there. Jordan get out of there," while Stephens himself could be seen laughing along with the good-natured teasing.
Context of the Relationship
The couple, who celebrated their five-year anniversary in June, have maintained a relatively private relationship despite their public profiles. Thirlwall had previously shared a sweet compilation video on TikTok featuring personal clips of their life together, offering fans glimpses into their partnership.
This television incident highlights the playful dynamic between the couple and Stephens' willingness to support Thirlwall during potentially awkward public moments. The episode serves as a reminder of how celebrities navigate personal aspirations while in the public eye, with Thirlwall maintaining what she described as a "personal moodboard full of inspiration" for her potential future wedding day.
The segment aired as part of Michael McIntyre's Big Show on BBC One, showcasing the lighthearted entertainment that has made the program popular with British audiences. The moment has since sparked conversations about relationship expectations and the pressures faced by public figures when their personal interests become public spectacle.
