Jesy, Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade all entered The X Factor this year as solo artists. They were given a second chance at the final stage of Bootcamp when the judges decided to put them into groups. The groups they were put into didn’t work out for the judges, and the girls were given a further chance at the end of Bootcamp when they were put into a group together and Rhythmix was formed.

They were then told that they couldn't use the name Rhythmix because it was already being used by a charity, so they changed their name to Little Mix.

Their popularity rocketed and eventually they won the X Factor, beating Marcus in the final. They will now look forward to one hit single, then a descent into mediocrity.
