going to be like nuns. Boys are off the menu, yes. We’re just focusing
in this.

‘The thing that’s good is we’re all different, so every girl can relate to at least one or other of
us. I’m like Boho with an Urban Edge Mix, Jesy’s Swagger Mix, Jade is
Cutie Mix and Leigh-Anne’s Streetie, Fiery Mix.’

Speaking of being the primary girl
group – and only band – ever to win The X Factor, Jade said: ‘There is
stigma and that i don’t know why. Maybe girl groups seem threatening to other
girls, and that’s mostly who votes, maybe because they’re dressed up
all sexy.
‘We aren’t very sexy, that’s just not
us. We don’t act like we’ve got to affect anyone and we’re just silly.
After we realised we had girls’ votes on our side, when we felt we had
that support, it was amazing. Since it’s about time, isn’t it? That
girls liked girls?’

written down is tricky. I told my mum, “I’m much tougher than you observed!”

say they do not feel alone anymore. But then it’s upsetting because there
are such a lot of of them’.

horizon, their bank balances are inclined to tackle a complete new
dimension, with Leigh-Anne saying she’d desire to be rich and Jesy hoping
to fulfill Simon Cowell.

January. He sent us some flowers. i truly love him. i used to be gutted he
wasn’t at the show this year.’

Leigh-Anne said: ‘The neatest thing I’ve had up to now is a faux fur coat from
Topshop, but someone stole it from the contestants’ green room at
Wembley!
‘I like high street stores.
Republic, River Island and that i love Topman’s jumpers. i have a
wicked sweatshirt with Fleetwood Mac at the front.’
