Little Mix (previously Rhythmix) are the winners of the 8th series of The X Factor. They reached the final two on 10 December 2011, and won the show on 11th December 2011, making them the first group, and the first ever girl group to even make it to the final, to win The X Factor in its eight year history. Little Mix are a four-piece girlband made up of Essex barmaid Jesy Nelson (born 30 September 1991 (20), High Wycombe waitress Leigh-Anne Pinnock (born 3 January 1992)(19), and South Shields students Perrie Edwards (born 28 April 1993) and Jade Thirlwall (born 3 July 1993) (both 18). Originally known as Rhythmix, the band was formed at bootcamp from singers who auditioned as soloists. On 26 October 2011, Rhythmix announced that they would change their name due to pressure from a children's music charity of the same name, after the programme tried to trademark "Rhythmix" in Europe.
