Shout-out to her ex.

Little Mix alum Jade Thirlwall revealed Harry Styles “ghosted” her after just one date while he was a contestant on “The X Factor.”

“We were like 16 or something,” she said in Tuesday’s episode of “The Louis Theroux Podcast” on Spotify.

Thirlwall shared that the date occurred shortly after Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson formed their boy band, One Direction, on the British music competition in 2010.

“And then the minute they went on live shows, he didn’t message me back,” she recalled.

“I thought, ‘That’s it now. He’s gone. He’s made it.’”

However, after Thirlwall rose to fame with her Little Mix bandmates, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, on the following season of “The X Factor,” Styles reached out to her to apologize.

“I saw him … and he was like, ‘I’m really sorry that I ignored you,’” she remembered.

The podcast’s host, Louis Theroux, put it more bluntly, telling Thirlwall, “He ghosted you.”

“Yeah,” the “Angel of My Dreams” singer conceded. “I was so young. It didn’t really matter.”

Thirlwall, 32, went on to call Styles, 30, “very talented” and “very charming,” noting that she does not harbor any ill will toward the “As It Was” crooner these days.

Styles went on to date future “X Factor” presenter Caroline Flack, Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, model Camille Rowe and his “Don’t Worry Darling” co-star and director, Olivia Wilde, among other stars.
