Little Mix will be debuting a new TV talent competition this autumn on BBC One.

The programme, titled Little Mix The Search, will see the former X Factor winners create and mentor new bands.

The series is being made with coronavirus guidelines in place and the groups will live together while gaining access to voice coaches, songwriters and producers.

Little Mix band members Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock will star in the programme.

Thirlwall said: “The auditions were great fun to film.

“So much talent auditioned for the show that it was genuinely tough to decide who should go through. There are lots of twists and turns.”

It has previously been announced that comedian Chris Ramsey will host the programme.

Edwards said: “We can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on because it’s so good.

“This show is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time.”

The girl group were themselves formed during the eighth season of X Factor UK.

Thirlwall and Pinnock have recently spoken about their experiences of racism in the music industry, with Pinnock describing the misplacement” she felt as the sole black member of the band.
