X-Factor winners Little Mix are already being billed as the "new Spice Girls", but believe it or not, there were girl bands before Geri et. al came to town: Check out our all-time favourite girl bands here.
We're delighted that the girls have scooped the prize, fighting off fierce competition and becoming the first all-female band to top the bill on the show, but let's cast our minds back over a few other girl band crushes we've had through the years...
Girls Aloud
Little Mix may be the first all-girl band (or indeed band of any sort) to win X-Factor, but they were preceeded by Girls Aloud who scooped the top prize in 2002's Popstars: The Rivals. Now on an official 'hiatus', the girls are perusing their own solo projects, including a stint in shoe-selling for Cheryl Cole.
