Little Mix speak out on Simon Cowell 'feud' after leaving Syco

Their brand new TV show begins on Saturday

Author: Alex RossPublished 22nd Sep 2020

Despite a number of reports of a feud since Little Mix left Simon Cowell's record label Syco back in 2018, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson have revealed they are on good terms, admitting they have 'no personal vendetta' against the music mogul.

Speaking to the Radio Times, Perrie said, "I think with Simon it’s all fun and games. We’ve got no personal vendetta against him. We moved on and, to be fair, over the years we didn’t actually see him that much. We’re not ones to hold grudges."

Little Mix decided to part ways with Syco just months before the release of their fifth album 'LM5' back in November 2018, instead signing a deal with RCA.

Things then got a little awkward between the girls and their former boss when Little Mix announced they are launching their very own TV talent show to rival Simon's The X Factor, which will air on the BBC.

Despite being postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Little Mix: The Search will finally hit our TV screens on Saturday 26th September with host Chris Ramsey, as the girls look for the next big group to join them on tour next year.
