When Little Mix won The X Factor back in 2011, they made history. Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirwall became the first group to defy all odds and win! And while it also helps when you’re in a relationship with one of the most sought after boys in the biz (::ahem Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik), these girls are on their way to the tippy top. Their autobiography “Ready To Fly” will be coming out at the end of this month, and their debut album is set to be released by the end of the year.

Find out what Perrie and Jade have in common, why they had to originally change their band name and check out their brand new video for “Wings” below!

1. Formerly known as Rhythmix, the group had to change their name due to a dispute with a children’s charity which was also named Rhythmix.

2. In The X Factor‘s eight-year history, Little Mix was the first girl group to make it past the seventh live show.

5. According to their official website, Jesy has a phobia of sandwiches. Alrighty then.

7. The girls were recently part of an M&M’s campaign to launch limited edition Union Jack M&M’s for the Queen’s Jubilee. “It was a really good photo shoot actually, we just got to muck around. It wasn’t too serious, and we just got to chuck loads of M&Ms around. And we got a lot of free stuff!” Jesy told Glamour UK.

8. Leigh-Anne has a pug that she loves more than anything. His name is Harvey!

    I’m freaking sick and tired of people saying that Little Mix only got famous because Perrie is dating Zayn. Thats such a freaking lie! Have you not seen them live people, they don’t need auto tune or all that other s***t in order to sound good, they just are. And just because Zayn is supporting his girlfriend (like a good boyfriend) does not mean he is the main reason they are famous. So haters just please just shut the h*ll up until you have reasonable logic (which won’t be anytime soon i assure you)

    The only reason they got discovered is because of Zayn, and the people who always talk about Perrie and say all that shit are just being a kiss-up, they talk about her and say she’s perfect because they want something from her, and the thing they want is her boyfriend Zayn Malik, 99% of Mixers are Directioners.

      There ain’t nothing wrong being a directioner and a mixer. And really who has sucked up to Perrie? Like they no they can’t have Zayn. Just because One Direction was on the x factor before them doesn’t mean anything. Little Mix obviously won theirs so who gives a flying fuck? And NO not 99% of Mixers aren’t Directioners. Most of them might be but not all. So get your damn facts right hun.

      Umm, no they’re not haven’t you noticed? 99% of Mixers are Directioners so… that’s how Little Mix were discovered. Nobody knew about them till they found out Zayn was dating Perrie from the group. Get that through your thick skull.
