How Little Mix The Search works

The show is after six groups: a Boy Band, a Girl Dance Group, a Girl Vocal Group, a Mixed Group, a Vocal & Instrument Group and a Rap R&B Group.

After online applications, a select number of contestants will audition for Little Mix in person.

First they’ll enter the Last Look Room where they have one final chance to prepare before facing the girls. Contestants need to get at least three yeses from Little Mix to get through to The Band Room.

Those that make The Band Room will then be mentored by Little Mix as they determine who will progress through to the final audition stage, the Concert Audition.

In the Concert Audition, the remaining contestants will sing for a live audience before Little Mix decide the final line up of each band.

The final bands will go forward to the live shows later in the series.
