They've already said they want to be the new Spice Girls - and it looks like Little Mix could be half way there is betting odds are to be believed.
The quartet are now red-hot favourites to win The X Factor next Saturday night, following tireless self promotion in the run-up for the live final.
Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have overtaken rival Marcus Collins in the betting after the odds on them winning were reduced to 5/4.

Collins has moved out to 13/8, with Amelia Lily on 5/1 and Misha B at 16/1.
Even their styling has been customised to influence votes, with Jade and Leigh-Anne sporting 'Little Mix' tights at a secret gig at Talk Talk in Soho.

The teenagers had both been dressed in the stockings which sported letters from their band name jumbled around randomly.

Blonde Perrie has also been making headlines, having embarked on a romance with One Direction singer and X Factor graduate Zayn Malik.
The pair were seen cuddling when the two bands filmed a video for the show's charity single Wishing On A Star last weekend.

Meanwhile, Jesy has been praised for coming forward to speak of cyber bullies who criticised her over her weight.
But despite their ever-growing popularity, the girls say they don't get attention from the opposite sex.

Jesy told Heat: 'We don’t really get very much attention from boys.
'I think people think we’d get loads of guys asking us out, but we don’t.'
Jade added: 'We get loads of messages from girls, but hardly from boys.'
Little Mix are the first girl group ever to reach the X Factor semi-finals.
The X Factor semi-finals start tonight at 8pm on ITV.
