Jade Thirlwall shares blood-soaked behind-the-scenes snaps of filming the music video for her new single Fantasy

Jade Thirlwall has shared blood-soaked behind-the-scenes snaps of filming the music video for her new single Fantasy.

The former Little Mix star, 31, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share videos and snaps to celebrate one week since the release of the track.

Jade was completely soaked in fake blood in a scene that mirrored the iconic horror Carrie for the music video - which was directed by American photographer David LaChapelle.    

Jade shared a snap of her with 'the one and only' director David on set, where both she and the entire floor were covered in blood. 

'Surprisingly David didn't want to hug me,' the singer joked in the post's caption. 

Meanwhile in another photo shared by Jade, she could be seen washing off in the shower again while covered head-to-toe in blood. 

She also showed off the glam outfit before it is soaked in blood, a glamorous one-shouldered gold sequin gown, complete with tassels.  

'Fantasy round up ✨ it’s been just over a week and I’m so grateful for the support ♥️,' Jade captioned the post.

In another snap, Jade was seen in the recording studio for what she said was the day she wrote Fantasy alongside R.I.Pablo and Mike Sabath. 

Earlier in the day, she shared a fun outtake from the music video for her new single Fantasy as she looked totally unrecognisable in a blood-spattered outfit.

The video shared to her Instagram page on Tuesday shows Jade at the end of the music video where she is covered in the red liquid.

The fake blood covered her dazzling gold dress and curly long brown hair, which were teamed with a pair of towering platform heels.

Jade captioned the clip: 'Girl of your nightmares.' 

Commenting on how much she looked like horror character Carrie, her fans said: 'Carrie has competition now hun'; 'Sissy, Chloe, Jade. CARRIED'd!'; Carrie could never [nails painted emoji]'.

Last week Jade revealed new X-rated merch to celebrate her new song - leaving fans baffled and delighted in equal measure. 

Jade, who has released her fourth single, shared a snap of some of the goodies on offer in her new merchandise collection which is launching on December 6.

While the usual T-shirts, hoodies and mugs are available, it was a raunchy bundle called the 'Jade X Fantasy Howl Box' that has raised eyebrows.

Available for pre-order at £75, the adult set includes four items: a sleeping eye mask, a thong that appears to be made from sweets, a butt plug on a keychain and a silicon-based lubricant.

Promoting the eclectic mix of merch, Jade - who used to be part of the X Factor girl group alongside Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson - tweeted: 'Whatever floats your boat I've got it for you babe'.

Her cheeky tweet has been seen more than 1.7million times and has elicited varying reactions.

'BUTTPLUGS???' one shocked fan replied, as another agreed: 'Not the butt plug.' 

But other fans praised Jade and said: 'I AM CRYING JADE KNOWS HER AUDIENCE.'
