Little Mix Pictures Arriving at Sydney Airport Greeting Fans

UK girl band Little Mix arrived in Australia yesterday morning and were greeted by hundreds of fans at Sydney Airport. Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, who won The X Factor UK last year after being put together as a group when they failed to move past boot camp as soloists, signed autographs and stopped for photos with their admirers. Their visit Down Under is a result of a huge fan petition to get the girls in Australia, and it follows on from popular promo tours by other artists who have come from The X Factor UK, including Cher Lloyd last week and One Direction in April. Little Mix are good friends with the boys who caused a frenzy a few months ago, and there’s also a love connection between the groups — Perrie is currently dating Zayn Malik. During their Aussie stay, the girls, who stopped by the Harbour Bridge today, will be doing press and performing on The X Factor and Sunrise.
