Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has confirmed she is making a BBC documentary that will explore her experiences of racism and colourism, and look at wider race issues.
Speaking about the programme, which is called Leigh-Anne: Colourism & Race, the pop star said she wanted to use her fame as a "platform to bring this conversation to a wider audience".
Pinnock said she wanted to make her documentary "because I have always been passionate about rights for black people", adding that she wanted to "stand up for my black and brown community".
The singer explained: "Through making this documentary I want to learn how I can best lend my voice to the debate so that the young people who look up to me won't have to face what me and my generation have had to."
The one-off, BBC Three documentary will "shine a light" on how Pinnock "has come to believe that we live in a profoundly racist society", the BBC said.
Cameras will follow the star, who recently posted an emotional video on Instagram about her experiences of racism, "behind-the-scenes with Little Mix and at home as she processes what she's learning and comes to a view on what to do".
The programme follows bandmate Jesy Nelson's award-winning film with the broadcaster on cyber-bullying.
Pinnock formed chart-topping girl group Little Mix in 2011 alongside bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Nelson and Perrie Edwards.
