The four-piece girl group were forced to announce the news on Wednesday evening (15.07.15) after the news was leaked online a day earlier than planned.

Alongside the album's official artwork, the band wrote: "Well...it's happened again!! We were getting ready to reveal all the details about our third album to you tomorrow and someone beat us to it! This doesn't change the fact that you guys have been so patient and amazing waiting for this so now is as good a time as any to let you know that the wait is NEARLY over!"

The LP will be their first since the release of their second record 'Salute' in 2013, which spawned hits including 'Move' and 'Little Me'.

Continuing to post about the album - which will be released on November 6 and will feature their recent hit single 'Black Magic' - band members Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall admitted they are "so proud" of what they have created.

They added: "Mixers...we give you our brand new album #GetWeird which will be available to pre-order at midnight BST on Thursday (14th August US & Canada) and out on 6th November.

"We CANNOT WAIT for you to see and hear more from#GetWeird. We are so proud of this and hope you LOVE it!! (sic)"
