Little Mix - Little Mix Set To Make 8 Million After X Factor Win

The girls - who sang En Vogue 's 'Don't Let It Go' and the Christmas carol 'Silent Night' - told the Itv program, "We are just so grateful and thankful to everyone who voted and to everyone backstage," with their mentor adding, "I think I wanted them to win more than they did." Gracious in defeat, rival Collins commented "I'm really proud of myself and these girls really deserve it, they're amazing."

Little Mix, who took 48.3% of the weekend vote, look set to go on to big things if the success of the last girl group to win a British reality singing contest is anything to go by: Girls Aloud took the 'Popstars: The Rivals' crown back in 2002 and have gone to sell reach at least platinum status in the UK on each of their five albums. According to the UK's Daily Mail, the girls, Jesy, Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade could make up to 8 million from their debut album and tour.
