We’ve been missing our talent show fix this year, but there’s four women about to change all of that – enter, Little Mix.
The X Factor winners have swapped roles and they’re on the hunt for the next big pop band.
We have everything you need to know about Little Mix: The Search, set to land on the BBC in Autumn.
When is Little Mix: The Search on TV?
We were supposed to be getting the exciting BBC series earlier this year, but the coronavirus pandemic pushed back the talent show.
The BBC has now confirmed Little Mix: The Search will be released in the Autumn.
We know the series will be seven episodes long and will see the pop superstars on the hunt for single members to form a group – just as they did on The X Factor all those years ago.
Filming did take place in January 2020, as confirmed by Jesy Nelson when she spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com following her NTAs win for her documentary, Odd One Out.
Who is the host of Little Mix: The Search?
The girls recently announced that comedian and Strictly Come Dancing star Chris Ramsey will host their new show.
Chris hails from South Shields, the same North East town as band members Jade and Perrie.
And he’ll now be teaming up with his fellow Northerners, as well as Jesy and Leigh-Anne for the BBC show.
The group announced the news on their official Twitter page, as they shared a promo shot with the caption: “Beyond excited to announce @IAmChrisRamsey as the host of @LMTheSearch… South Shields takeover on @BBCOne.”

Chris has a successful podcast with his wife, Rosie, called S***ged, Married, Annoyed, and the pair will be releasing a book based on the series in 2020.
What is Little Mix: The Search about?
The best-selling girl band, made up of Perrie Edwards Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, will be putting down the microphone to become mentors to a new wave of talent, in a bid to find a new boy, girl or mixed-sex band.
Successful singers who are chosen to join the new bands will live together and gain access to the team that made Little Mix international best-selling performers, including vocal coaches, song writers, producers and stylists.
The band which is deemed the overall winners scoop the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to support Little Mix on their 2020 summer tour.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Perrie said: “We can’t wait for everyone to finally 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.”
