As X Factor reached its second live results show, the contestants were made to wait to see if their take on Motown had earned them a place in the next round.
And while the results shows can be tense, all anybody could think about was Little Mix’s return to the stage.
Still to come on #XFactor... @LittleMix - no biggie. *Squeals* pic.twitter.com/ibtBFsoqjN

One of the show’s biggest successes was about to return to where it all started.

Was there a hidden message within the lyrics?
Was that about someone we used to know? #XFactor #ShoutoutToMyEx pic.twitter.com/REXX5Nchjg
