Little Mix are brought to life in a stop-motion fuzzy-felt wonderland, in Zac Ella's 80s-tinged video for Break Up Song. After being forced to pull the plug on the live action version of the video the night before the shoot - due to the looming lockdown- Zac wasn't quite ready to give up on the concept just yet.
