Celebrating 10 years of Little Mix

Little Mix today are 10 years ago today, yes they are having alittle time off afer the tour but Little Mix became the first ever group to win The X Factor UK and have amassed millions of fans globally with the only thing missing being their missed US opportunity.

After countless hits, since winning the show, the group have gone on to win no other than three BRIT Awards, 7 EMAs, and scored five UK No. 1 singles.

The now 3 piece (Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall) are now one of the best-selling girl-groups of all-time.

“Look at us, little babies,” Leigh-Anne Pinnock says as she reminisces about Little Mix’s win on series 8 of The X Factor in 2011 alongside Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards

Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall reminisced about winning series 8 of The X Factor on the 10th anniversary Saturday, giving a glimpse at their separate hiatuses in a video posted to social media.

“10 years since we won The X Factor,” the group wrote in the caption. “The most life-changing moment ever for all of us. Thank you for all the support over the last decade xxx.”

Pinnock, 30, Edwards, 28, and Thirlwall, 28, took turns holding up a photo of the three of them — plus ex group member Jesy Nelson and their mentor Tulisa Contostavlos — celebrating their victory on the stage of the competition series in December 2011. They were the first group to win the show.

“Look at us, little babies. Wow!” Pinnock said in adoration. “And you could see in our faces, we did not expect that. It’s mad.”

“This was the most life-changing event ever, for all of us, surely,” Edwards mused. “Winning The X Factor when we thought we wouldn’t even make it to the first week. And Tulisa’s face as well, I literally loved Tulisa so much. She was a rock through the whole experience. But yeah, this just makes me so happy. Look what we did.”

“Again, I can’t even remember this happening, to be honest,” Thirlwall admitted. “But as you can see, I was quite animated in my expression, as we all were. Tulisa is our sister, has been and always will be, and is honestly one of the reasons why we’re here and even managed to win that show. So, we’ll always be grateful to Tulisa. We love her very much.”

Little Mix has since released six studio albums together, for which they’ve won three Brit Awards, including this year’s Brit for British Group.
The anniversary comes after the trio announced earlier this month that they’re taking a break following their upcoming Confetti Tour, but they assure fans that they’re “not splitting up.”
