Little Mix were told not to use the word ‘feminist’ after nearly not being put through on The X Factor
She continued: ‘We are a lot wiser, things that happened back then really make sense now. At the beginning, when we were on X-Factor, we were told, “girl bands didn’t do well,” and we were nearly not going to get through.
‘The producers didn’t want to put us through… Tulisa actually stood up for us and we proved them wrong, right? We won the bloody show!’ Leigh-Anne said: ‘You can’t put all women in a box like that… it is these things that made us realise we need to speak up more and speak about what happened back then.’
Little Mix won The X Factor back in 2011 on the show’s eighth series. The girls, Leigh-Anne, Perrie, Jesy and Jade had all initially auditioned as solo artists but were put together at the boot camp stage.for their collaboration with Nicki Minaj for Woman Like Me.
