Little Mix cook up a storm: In the two years since they became the first group to win The X Factor, Little Mix have taken the charts by storm – both here and now Stateside
Little Mix, the peppiest, perkiest girl band in pop, are absolutely exhausted. It’s 7am and they are already in make-up, getting glammed up for their YOU photo shoot. Jade Thirlwall, a self-confessed not-a-morning person, is as asleep as you can be while someone is tugging at your hair. Jesy Nelson and Perrie Edwards occasionally mumble at one another. Leigh-Anne Pinnock is largely comatose until a hefty bee bumbles into the room and, presumably starstruck in the presence of Little Mix, crashes down in a stunned daze on to her lap.
‘Oh my God, I hate them,’ she yells, leaping up and hotfooting it round the studio like a cartoon character. The bee is removed. Order is restored. Everyone slumps down in their chairs again.
Little Mix have every reason to be a little tired. In the past six months they’ve been to the US, touring a debut album, DNA, that went straight to number four in the Billboard charts. They’ve also recorded a new album in the space of two weeks. And there’s been the small matter of Perrie appearing at the premiere of the One Direction movie in August with an engagement ring on her finger, courtesy of her boyfriend, 1D’s Zayn Malik.
