Little Mix, the first and only girl group to clinch victory on The X Factor, didn't always have an easy ride. Comprising members Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards, the band is still considered one of the most successful acts to emerge from the show.

Their chart-topping hits include Power, Black Magic, Woman Like Me, Shout out to My Ex, Sweet Melody, Love Me Like You and Secret Love Song.
