Little Mix celebrated their third number one single and Jesy Nelson's engagement by hosting a party for friends and family.

The girl band, who are currently at the top of the single charts with Black Magic, partied at Kelly Brook's bar Steam and Rye on Monday night.

Going all out for the celebratory get together, Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirwall dressed up in floor-length black gowns, while Perrie Edwards went for a more summery white smock.

The group - who rose to fame on The X Factor back in 2012 - were joined by their former mentor Tulisa as well as friends Ashley James, Ella Eyre and Bluey Robinson.

While the official reason for the party was hitting the number one spot, Nelson, 23, was also celebrating becoming newly engaged to Rixton's Jake Roche.

Just the night before, the 22-year-old had got down on one knee at the Manchester Arena to pop the question while Ed Sheeran serenaded them.

Roche, who is the son of Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie, shared an Instagram snap of the proposal with fan just moments later, admitting that it was the 'best day' of his life.

He captioned the picture: "A year ago today I met her at Manchester arena, so it was only right, with a little help from my friend, that this happened. Best day of my life."

Nelson shared her excitement on the official Little Mix Twitter account, writing: "I cannot believe what has just happened! The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love most was there to share it with us!

"I feel like the luckiest girl in the world rite now literally cannot stop crying! Future Mrs Roche (sic)."
