Former Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts has praised 'Black Magic' hitmakers Little Mix for being great at not only singing, but also at performing choreography. 

Speaking to Digital Spy at last weekend's V Festival about the recent rise of girl groups, Roberts revealed that there's one in particular that she has a lot of time for: "There are some good things out there. Little Mix are killing it - I like them. They throwdown! The girls throwdown on the dancefloor and they've got vocals, so yeah."

Roberts was also quizzed on the recent rumours that suggest Pussycat Dolls might be reuniting and added: "I can tell you that I haven't got a call, so that's all I can really say. I saw it more of a media kind of thing. I've always said never say never. I don't know if it would happen, but I haven't got any calls about doing it recently."

Little Mix, meanwhile, have spoken out about their close bond and confessed that they've grown incredibly close over the last few years: "We cannot tell you how important our friendship/sisterhood is to us, we have been through so much together and generally love each other more than anything. May Little Mix last forever, coz we'll tell you something, we dno what we would do without each other."
