Little Mix star feels like she has "missed out" by not going to university

'Wings' beauties Little Mix have opened up about what they would be doing if they weren't pop stars and one of the girls admitted that she always regrets not having gone on to do a degree at university.

Member Leigh-Anne Pinnock revealed to Cosmopolitan magazine that she feels as though she has 'missed out' from not pursuing higher education: "The idea of uni is really fun - all my friends have been and loved it. I don't know if I'd have coped, but I'd love the freshers' week thing: meeting new people and feeling independent... I do feel like I've missed out a little bit."

Songstress Jesy Nelson added that she has a different opinion on university because she never felt a pull to pursue a degree, and would probably be a barmaid if she wasn't in Little Mix:

"I was rubbish at school. I was never destined to have anything to do with education - it just wasn't on my radar. If I wasn't in Little Mix, I'd probably still be a barmaid, trying to work out what to do with my life. My best friend started uni before I did X Factor, but I wasn't too jealous, although I do feel envious of her lie-ins, because we don't get any sleep, ever."

Blonde bombshell Perrie Edwards didn't tell Cosmopolitan about what she would be doing in a life outside of the girl group, and instead revealed her ideal student-friendly snacks:

"I love spaghetti bolognese. I eat it everywhere I go - you can't go wrong with it. My other student favourite sounds rank, but it's not: Chicken & Mushroom Pot Noodle with Wotsits. It's so good! You don't have to mix the Wotsits in, you just sprinkle them on top like croutons!"
