Perrie on The X Factor
Although she was most recently 1/4 of Little Mix, Perrie actually auditioned for The X Factor as a solo artist, as did Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall.
Perrie was a 17-year-old student when she auditioned for judges Tulisa, Kelly Rowland, Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow back in 2011, singing her own rendition of Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know'.
Whilst Kelly and Gary loved her performance, Tulisa and Louis thought something was missing, but she made it through to Boot Camp regardless.
The judges later decided that they couldn't see Perrie as a solo artist, instead pairing her up with Jesy Nelson to create a duo called Faux Pas. Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall were also put together, with the name Orion.
Both Faux Pas and Orion failed to make it to Judges' Houses, but Kelly Rowland suggested bringing all four girls together, inviting Perrie, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Jade to perform as a four-piece called Rhythmix.
The girls performed Fergie's hit 'Big Girls Don't Cry' at Judges' Houses for mentor Tulisa and guest judge Jessie J, progressing to the live shows. The band were forced to change their name to Little Mix due to legal reasons, and the rest is history!
Little Mix were crowned the winners of The X Factor in 2011 and their winners' single 'Cannonball' went straight to Number 1 in the UK charts.
