Tulisa Contostavlos is still celebrating after her ‘little muffins’ became the first group ever to win the ITV1 talent contest, but Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland may be wondering where it all went wrong after the voting stats were released on the final edition of Xtra Factor.
The release of the figures often shows the turning point in the competition, with this year’s figures clearing showing how Little Mix came out of nowhere to become the frontrunners in the competition.
Halloween week proved to be the key moment for the girl group, with their rendition of Katy Perry’s ET wowing the judges and showing for the first time they had a real chance of reaching the latter stages of the competition.
During movies week a fortnight later Little Mix topped the vote for the first time, coming second to Amelia Lily the following week before regaining their place at the top during the semi-final last weekend.
Kelly Rowland may be left wondering where it all went wrong for her after seeing the figures, with either Amelia or Janet topping the public vote every week apart from movies week until the semi-final, when Misha B left the competition.
Gary Barlow will also be disappointed to learn that none of his acts ever managed to top the public vote, with Marcus only managing to break the top two in floor fillers week, the semi-final and this weekend’s final.
