It's safe to say Little Mix fans have been thoroughly divided this year. Between Jesy Nelson's explosive solo debut and rumours of a big break-up circulating, eagle-eyed Mixers have been extra vigilant when it comes to tears, tell-alls and tea.
So, it's hardly surprising that Twitter went into overdrive after seeing a certain photo taken at Madame Tussauds in London.
The photo has sparked conversation among hundreds of social media users, with some noting that a certain ex-band member appeared to be obscured from view...
The photo was reposted by fan account 'Little Mix Tea' on Twitter - and fans all pointed towards one striking detail.

"Jade Thirlwall's brother and his family paid a visit to Little Mix's wax works in Madame Tussauds", they said. People could only see three of the girls on show - despite the fact that the Boyz singer's waxwork is still included.
Karl Thirlwall (Jade's older brother) appeared to be standing directly in front of Jesy's mannequin, blocking her from view. And while there's no suggestion that he stood there on purpose, that didn't stop fans from speculating on what it all meant.
"Omfg the position her brother is stood in" one user tweeted.
"Lol this was intentional" another claimed.
"He literally said to stream cut you off" one stan joked.

"Jade's brother is a savage king [...] LOVE IT!!!!!" said a second.
"Not Jade's bro shading Jesy" another laughed. Let's face it, nothing escapes the Mixers' attention.
The fandom has been through the wringer since the release of Jesy's first solo single. After the Boyz singer was accused of 'mocking' Leigh-Anne alongside Nicki Minaj, she later confirmed on Graham Norton that she no longer speaks to the band.

Little Mix have subsequently spoken out about their conversations with Jesy on the topic of blackfishing, further fuelling fan rumours that the four were 'feuding'.
