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.
3. Their brand new music video for “Wings” already has over 1 million views on YouTube in under a week. Check it out!
4. Perrie and Jade are both from the coastal town of South Shields in Tyne and Wear, England.
5. According to their official website, Jesy has a phobia of sandwiches. Alrighty then.
6. Perrie’s favorite snack? Potato chips! Or ‘crisps’ as they call it in England.
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!
9. Jade is dating Sam Craske from dance group, Diversity. They won Britain’s Got Talent back in 2009.
10. Along with other X Factor alums JLS, Leona Lewis, Olly Murs and One Direction, Little Mix is a part of The X Factor 2012 Whose Time Is Now advertisement. What an inspiring group!























I’m singing Wings for my school talent show! ^_^ Little Mix are freaking amazing! And to everyone who says otherwise, or who are jealous because of Zayn + Perrie, f**k you & kiss my ass, dickhead. Little mix is the BEST girl group ever.
rock on little mix i love your song wings
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.
Amen
No hun. they got famous on their own . get your facts right, then you can say something.
Actually I liked one direction because of little mix so you just think about that
Zayn doesnt have anything to do with their fame…… they are succsesful on their own!
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.
shut up is u dont like them u can just f*** off and they are the best girl band ever
shut up little mix are the best girl group so if u dont like it when you know what to do f**** up
you know what, i just saw little mix on youtube they were pretty good you know any way there pretty good looking

Fuck you perrie edwards you are such a bitch

My question is how? How is she a bitch? From what I’ve seen she is pretty damn cool and nice. Grow up and accept the fact that Zayn is dating her.

I absolutely love Little Mix, they are amazing and i hope they make it far… No cross that they WILL make it far in music bizz cos they are the best (I am a directioner and i don’t like little mix cos of Zayn, i love them for little mix not Zayn!!) And Really haters gonna hate!

Honestly i think people only like Little Mix because one of the members is dating Zayn Malik. They’re actually not a big deal here (the uk). Just another girl group, I prefer Stooshe
