We can reveal that the girl in the picture is Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall.
The singer, 28, shot to fame over ten years ago when she joined the girl group after finding fame on The X Factor.
Since then she has seen her star soar and has become one of Britain’s biggest stars.
That little girl in the picture now has a fortune of £6M.
She also has numerous Number One singles under her belt, and has sold millions of albums around the world.
Earlier this month Jade’s group Little Mix revealed they were “going on a break”.

However, just a day later, Jade admitted she was already having doubts about the band taking time away.
The group – Jade, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – announced they were taking time apart after ten years in an emotional post just hours before appearing on The Graham Norton Show.
According to reports from the audience, a devastated Jade said she still messages the girls, asking “are we sure we wanna do this huns? Are we sure?”.
She later broke down in tears as they took to the stage and performed Between Us.
Speaking to Graham about the decision, Jade said: “It’s been terribly emotional.
“We’ve still got the tour next year and a few other bits, but it’s been 10 incredible years and we always said if we’re going to take a little break it would be on an incredible high, at our peak so it seems like the right time.
“We are family and love each other to bits so what’s lovely is that whatever we go off and do we can support each other through it and celebrate each other – it’s a lovely way to do it.”
Leigh-Anne added: “It’s time to spread our wings a little bit and do our individual things.”
FINDING FAME
The trio rose to fame after forming the successful girl band Little Mix during the the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011.
Since then, they have attracted fans across the world and sold 60 million albums, thanks to hits such as Shout Out To My Ex, Black Magic and Sweet Melody.
The group recently released a greatest hits album, Between Us, marking 10 years since their formation on The X Factor.
Until December last year, Jesy Nelson was the fourth member of the girl group but the singer, 30, quit after nine years, saying the high-profile role had taken a toll on her mental health.
