Little Mix are on the lookout for new singing talent for their new BBC One talent show The Search.
Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson will audition singers to become members of all-female, all-male or mixed bands.
They will act as mentors for the contestants, who will live together and gain access to the band’s inner circle of vocal coaches, songwriters, producers and stylists.
The winning group will join Little Mix on their summer tour in 2020.
“We want to create lots of incredible groups who really gel,” the band said. “As we have been there and done it ourselves, we know what it takes to make a group successful, and will be there to mentor them every step of the way.
“We want solo artists to audition as well as groups and every type of genre is welcome too. It’s going to be really exciting and people can apply right now.”
The series will debut on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2020 and is set to air on Saturday evenings.
“One of Britain’s most popular all-female bands Little Mix will bring their magic to BBC One on Saturday nights in 2020 in a brand new show set to inspire the next generation of young artists,” Charlotte Moore, Director BBC Content, said.
Andrea Hamilton, executive producer at ModestTV, said: “It’s a real privilege to be building a new show around such a successful and loved British band.
“Creating bands means relationships matter and there’s no one better to share that experience than Little Mix, who are living it right now.”
Little Mix The Search is coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2020. Potential contestants can visit bbc.co.uk/littlemixthesearch for more details and to submit an application
