Talking about his comments, Thirlwall told Theroux: “We’re very different bands, so I’ll give him that respect,” We’re very, you know, we’re a pop girl band. Yeah. I don’t know why he was comparing us, actually.
She then revealed that she and boyfriend Jordan Stephens spotted Gallagher at Glastonbury, prompting her boyfriend to go over and say:“You are really rude about my girlfriend. Do you want to apologise?”
“He went, ‘F*** off!’” Thirwall said. “And I thought, do you know what? Fair play.”

She confronted Gallagher’s assertions on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, pointing out that his belief that they were undeserving of the Brit Award stemmed from a misguided notion about women in music. Thirlwall emphasised: “Noel said something about that we were undeserving of the Brit Award because we’re women and don’t… well, we do write music, but he thinks we don’t write music.”
She continued: “Yeah, shame, really. Because you know, we are the most successful girl group in the country, but he’s not even the most successful performer in his family.”
Little Mix went on hiatus in 2022, with their four original members Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards all pursuing respective solo careers.
In the same interview, Thirlwall spoke about the intense grief she felt after Nelson abruptly departed from the group in 2020, while confirming she did not begrudge her former bandmate’s decision.
