Little Mix Planning To Meet Simon Cowell Next Year

As their winners song heads to the top of the singles chart...

Little Mix have revealed they are planning to meet with record label boss Simon Cowell in the new year, thanking the music mogul for his support during The X Factor final.

As we previously reported, Cowell had expressed his love of the girls on Twitter, telling his followers he believes they "could be stars."

Speaking of SiCo, Jade Thirlwall told Digital Spy: "It was lovely. It was really nice of him. We're seeing his tweets, but we haven't had the chance to actually speak to him yet,"

Leigh-Anne Pinnock then stated: "He said he's going to see us when he gets back, so I'm guessing that will be next year some time."

Perrie Edwards - who is said to have ended her romance with One Direction's Zayn since winning the show - added: "We're just going to rock up and be ourselves. We'll just say, 'Alreet, Simon!'"

Meanwhile in other Little Mix news, their winners song - a cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball - is on course to top the official singles chart this weekend, despite selling less copies than 2010 XF champ Matt Cardle's debut track, When We Collide.

Cardle's song is said to have sold double what Little Mix have at this point last year, and went on to shift a cool 439,000 copies in total.
