Little Mix The Search began on BBC One last night (Saturday, September 26), leaving fans of the girl band more than impressed.
So much so, some viewers were quick to tell other talent shows to “take note” as to how it’s done.
What is Little Mix The Search all about?
Starting last night, the new talent show saw Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall on the hunt for a boyband to join them on tour.
Pre-recorded before the coronavirus lockdown, the hit girl band added their own twist to the established talent show format.

And it wasn’t long before viewers shared their delight at not only the performances from the wannabe stars, but also the way the girls handled themselves.
They drew particular praise for airing their true personalities and making it such a “personal” experience.
Caught up with #LittleMixTheSearch and much like @Louis_Tomlinson when he was a judge on XF, the @LittleMix ladies were honest, compassionate and empathetic judges when watching auditions. This is something every other talent show should take note of. Fantastic show!
