NADINE Samuels, who toured with Little Mix wept as she was caged for eight months for killing a mum in a horror crash.
The singer – member of girl group M.O – failed to look while at a roundabout and smashed into Debbie Mills as she cycled in Hemel Hempstead, Herts.
The mum-of-three, 54, suffered traumatic brain injuries after being flung on to the windscreen and road and died in hospital shortly after.
Samuels was sentenced at St Albans Crown Court after she pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.
The 27-year-old, who is good friends with Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, wept as Debbie’s son paid tribute to his mum, who ran a cake shop.
Josh said his mum was a valued member of the community who had taken up cycling as a hobby. He added: “We will miss her dearly”.

Simon Cowell reveals he parted ways with Little Mix over disagreement on Woman Like Me
The group parted ways with Cowell’s label Syco just a week before the release of their LM5 album.
Simon Cowell has opened up about parting ways with Little Mix, the most successful act on his record label Syco.
The music mogul and X Factor judge told The Sun that the decision to sever ties came after falling out with their management company Modest over a songwriting credit on their latest single Woman Like Me.
Little Mix also said they weren’t keen on recording the song, which was co-written by Ed Sheeran, Jess Glynne and Steve Mac. The track peaked at Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart earlier this month.
“The irony was the record they were arguing about, which is Woman Like Me, they didn’t want to record,” Cowell said. “This was one of those ironic times that we were having a hit and nobody was happy.”
“It was just embarrassing but, funnily enough, I was more annoyed, again, not about me, but about the fact people who had worked so hard in my company were being misrepresented. Why do artists think they’re more important than staff members? They’re not. They’re the same.
Simon explained that the decision “wasn’t down to money”, adding: “Basically, they said we’d done a terrible job. I had agreed not to talk about this publicly because I thought it was a private matter. I said, ‘We can’t work with the management, it’s as simple as that’.
“Everyone’s like, ‘There must have been something massive and that’s why it collapsed’. Well, I can show you all the correspondence between me and the girls over the years, there’s never been an instance when we’ve fallen out. As I said in my email to them, I stand by the fact they are the hardest working bunch of girls I’ve ever worked with. They deserve everything they’ve got.”
