To Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie, Before I congratulate you on 10 incredible years in pop music and bid Little Mix farewell (for now) as you finish your last tour, I want to tell you a little bit about me. I have loved girl groups since I can remember. As a 1990s baby, the Spice Girls ruled my childhood.
I quickly became obsessed with Girls Aloud and that followed with every girl group to pass us by since, no matter how long or short-lived they were. Sugababes, The Saturdays, Parade (remember them?), Fifth Harmony and everybody in between. I was 16 years old in 2011 and insisted I wouldn't buckle and fall in love with the new girl group The X Factor were putting together.
What was the point? They were only going to be sent home in the first live show, right? Wrong. As each week passed, I watched as these four young girls grew into empowering women with each determined performance and I fell hook, line and sinker. I screamed as Dermot O'Leary announced you as the winner of the show, practically seeing the horror fill my parents' faces as they realised they were about to spend a whole lot more money on yet another shiny manufactured band.
Manufactured you may have been, but they broke the mould when they made Little Mix. Like those that had come before you, it was pretty much written in the stars that you would be yet another "one album and done" reality show winner, so where did it all go so right? You had us on your side from day one. I think some girl groups try too hard to be cool, to be in your face, to be almost threatening, but here were four girls-next-door who just wanted to have a good time, who were vulnerable, and who wanted to take as many people as they could along for the ride.

Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall has revealed the shock reason that the band changed their name.The girl band were formed on The X Factor over 10 years ago back in 2011, and when Jade, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and former member Jesy Nelson were first put into the group they were initially called Rhythmix.
