X Factor 2011 victors Little Mix – the band is of course comprised of Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – have revealed that they have a new ambition for their already illustrious careers in music…

And that is to duet with the Spice Girls, who of course reunited to perform during the closing ceremony of the Olympics last week. Ooo, they could be called Mixed Spice! I’m wasted here, truly…

Speaking to i-D magazine, Jade said, “We’d love to do something special with them.

“We met Emma Bunton at a dinner last year and we were really starstruck and quiet.

“We should have asked her then.”

Well this is true Jade; you don’t ask, you don’t get. However, the girls have other things on their minds today as they’re attending the press launch of the new series of X Factor at the Corinthia hotel in London, from where our very own Lisa will be bringing you all the hot news and goss later today…

Meanwhile, the press conference has just got underway, with the show’s official Twitter feed stating…

“What the… @OfficialTulisa’s little muffins @LittleMixOffic sounding amazing singing ‘Wings’ unplugged?!?”

The Twitter feed also included a link to SoundCloud with the message, “Memories #4yearsofJLS x”

Here’s the SoundCloud sound bite…

We’ll bring you all the photos and news from the press launch throughout the day.
