Leigh-Anne Pinnock poses with husband Andre Gray as they cosy up for photos at Notting Hill Carnival – while police arrest more than 330 people during annual celebration
Leigh-Anne Pinnock and husband Andre Gray looked more loved-up than ever as they posed for photos at Notting Hill Carnival on Monday.
The couple cosied up as they attended the Strawberries & Cream VIP Lounge at the Red Bull Stage during the west London festival.
The former Little Mix singer looked sensational as she slipped into an eye catching green, yellow and black knitted minidress for the annual celebration of Caribbean culture.
She kept comfortable in a pair of black chunky lace up boots and opted for a pair of stylish sunglasses.
Styling her long dark tresses in neat braids, Leigh-Anne accessorised her daytime ensemble with a pair of gold hoop earrings.

Meanwhile Andre showed off his tattooed muscular arms in a white tank top which he teamed with black shorts and trainers.
On Sunday and Monday, Festival goers watched on as floats and hundreds of performers wearing vibrant costumes processed through streets in west London.
An estimated two million people were expected to attend the festival, one of the largest of its kind, over the weekend.
Police arrested at least 330 people in connection with incidents at the Carnival, the Met said tonight – with three people including a 32-year-old mother left fighting for their lives.
Five people were stabbed today, taking the total across the two days to eight, while three people sustained slash wounds and one incident was said to have involved a corrosive substance.
The violence came despite pleas from the Metropolitan Police for an end to attacks, as a senior officer begged: ‘We are tired of saying the same words every year’.
Officers recovered firearms at the festival and during a traffic stop in Harrow involving individuals believed to be on their way to Notting Hill.
And 35 officers were injured today as they were deployed in their hundreds to monitor the annual street party – for which local businesses board up windows in anticipation of the chaos that accompanies the event every year.

It comes after Leigh-Anne and Andre pulled out all the stops to celebrate their twin daughters turning three last week, as they threw a Disney-themed birthday party.
The couple share two girls – whose names she has never revealed – spared no expense, the huge bash was decked out with a slew of woodland themed decorations, including forest coloured balloon arches, individual painted doors with the youngsters’ names and many leafy plants.

Leigh-Anne took to her Instagram to share glimpses at the party, filming the table adorned with party hats and pictures of toadstools, hedgehogs, owls and deer.
While the garden could be seen to be full of fun activities for the little ones, including a paddling pool with a mini slide and a large inflatable bubble house, filled with swirling balloons.
There were also teddy bears party favours that were personalised with the theme, from the world’s oldest and largest iconic toy store Hamleys.
While the biggest surprise came in the form of a visit from actors dressed as the famous Disney characters, Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
The beloved cartoon mascots could be seen dancing and waving to the delighted group of avidly watching children.
The two birthday girls posed with their cousin in adorable matching pleated dresses covered in a rainbow ombre pattern.
While they were later seen having the time of their lives in a huge white bouncy castle at the party, having changed into sparkly blue princess dresses, like the one famously worn by Elsa from Frozen.
The birthday bash comes just weeks after Leigh-Anne hinted she could be ready to have another child with Andre, 32.
After launching her solo career last year, the singer released her EP No Hard Feelings in June, with tracks Stealin’ Love, Forbidden Fruit, OMG, Anticipate, and I’ll Still Be Here.

She sang: ‘I miss you in the worst way, especially with all the memories we just made. Might even make another baby.’
She recently admitted that she and her footballer husband have been going through ‘hell’ navigating their long-distance relationship for the past two years.
The couple tied the knot just last summer, but only see each other around two days each month due to his gruelling football schedule and her work commitments.
Leigh-Anne revealed she has to be in the UK to work on her music while also raising their twins, while Andre moved to Greece in 2022 after signing with Aris FC, before joining Saudi side Al-Riyadh in September last year.
Speaking on the Table Manners podcast in June, she admitted ‘I can’t do it anymore’ while discussing the difficulties of long-distance romance.
She explained: ‘We have a long distance relationship. He lives in Saudi, he plays football there.
‘So for the last two years we’ve been apart, basically, seeing each other for maybe two days a month. It’s been hell to be honest.’
When asked if he is likely to move away again when his current work contract ends, she confessed: ‘I can’t do it anymore. I can’t do it. I think we have to wait and see.’
Leigh-Anne was also asked if she resents Andre for living so far away while she cares for their children.
She said: ‘I try not to because I know what he’s doing it for, he’s doing it for us. But it’s so hard though, having two two-and-a-half year olds.’

Speaking about his contract in Saudi Arabia, she continued: ‘It actually ends this summer so he’s home next week. I’m so excited.
‘Then family – valued, beautiful time. But we don’t know [what’s next]. But that’s the thing about being with a footballer, you don’t know where you’re going to be.
‘I can’t move with him anywhere because obviously I can’t have a career where he’s going to go. I have to be local to home.’
Back in June, Leigh-Anne revealed that her husband Andre ‘broke her heart’ in the early days of their relationship in a TikTok video.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock reveals husband Andre Gray ‘broke her heart’ and she has ‘learnt to forgive’ him
The singer tied the knot with her footballer beau Andre in June 2023 after welcoming their twins together in August 2021.
The Little Mix star implied that things weren’t always plain-sailing for the couple as she told how he has changed his ways to be with her.
Leigh-Anne revealed that she ‘learnt the power of forgiveness’ as the footballer ‘went out of his way to change for her’.
When asked what she learnt about her last heartbreak, Leigh-Anne admitted she is still with the person who broke her heart.
She said: ‘I learnt the power of forgiveness. I’m still with the person who broke my heart and he went out of his way to change for me.
‘I think if you can actually get to the other side and make it through it, it makes it all worthwhile.
‘Some people might say, oh well why are you still with them? or why are you still giving them another chance? I guess that can be seen as a weakness and not putting yourself first but I think only you know what is truly right for you.’
Leigh-Anne went onto say the couple got through the ‘struggles’ and now they are in a ‘really beautiful place’.
It comes after Leigh-Anne opened up about her rocky relationship with Andre last year.
She revealed ‘he still had a lot of growing up to do’ in their early relationship and cryptically discussed how people deal with getting cheated on by a partner.
She told Glamour Magazine: ‘I think people often think that if something bad happens in a relationship – if you get cheated on or whatever – that it’s automatically done, it’s over, and that’s fair enough, but in my case, I chose to work at it, and I am so happy that I did.’
