Little Mix To Rival One Direction?

 Simon Cowell wants them to become as big as One Direction!

The Little Mix girls – Jade, Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jesy – are currently hard at work recording their debut album and recently visited Simon at the Syco head offices in London to play him the lead single.

It was during this meeting that Simon revealed his big ambitions!

"We had a meeting with Simon three weeks ago so he could listen to the track,” Jesy explains. “It was like sitting in the headmaster's office. We were so nervous before going in, it was surreal.”

Jade added to the Daily Star: "He really liked it. He's happy with the progress we've made in such a short time and just wants us to be as successful as ONE DIRECTION. The album's going to be so different. No-one's expecting what it sounds like."

As of yet, there’s no word about when the follow-up to Little Mix’s number one smash ‘Cannonball’ will be released. Fingers and toes crossed it’s very soon!

What do you think? Will Little Mix ever be as big as 1D?!
