Little Mix: "One Direction Are Like Us"

Little Mix have stated they believe One Direction are so successful because they are "normal" and "don't take themselves too seriously."

When asked about the secret behind the boyband's success, Justin Bieber when he was in the UK.

The blonde beauty revealed: "I just walked in and he was like, ‘Hey, I'm Justin’, and I was thinking, ‘I know who you are’.

"It was just weird as I was like 'Hi, I'm Perrie', because he probably won't know my name but with Justin Bieber, you are going to know who he is."

She continued: "So I was like, ‘Ah, bless him, he introduced himself’ and that was it really. I didn’t want to be in the way of their boys night, so I just went to bed."

Speaking of Zayn's bromance with Biebs, Perrie added: "They are really cute, bless them!"

Since winning The X Factor last year, the girls have found their private lives splashed all over the press, with Jesy stating they try not to read stories in newspapers and magazines.

She explained: "We just find it funny when we do see stories as half of them aren’t true anyway.

"Don’t get me wrong, it is a bit annoying when you see a story written about you in a magazine that is not true because I know before I went on X Factor, I would always read magazines and always believe everything I read.

"Now, I don’t read magazines any more. I only get them to look at the pictures – I don’t read them as I know half of it isn’t true. It just comes with this industry."
