Little Mix exploded on to the music scene in 2011 as the first group ever to win ITV talent show The X Factor.
Since then, the pop quartet – Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson – have bagged countless awards, enjoyed a string of No.1 hits and sold 50 million records, making them one of the biggest-selling girl groups of all time.
Now, nearly 10 years on, the pop princesses – whose hits include Shout out to My Ex, Wings and Black Magic – are looking for a new band to support them on stage on their next tour in 2021. And they’ll be choosing the lucky group in BBC1’s brand-new talent show Little Mix: The Search.
‘This is different from other shows because we’ve been in the shoes of these hopefuls, so we’ve got a lot of knowledge to give them,’ says Pinnock.
