Little Mix have revealed that they've got long-term ambitions when it comes to their music careers.

The girl group were pieced together on the X Factor last year before eventually winning the competition.

Speaking to The Sun, singer Perrie Edwards commented on the Spice Girls' recent reunion for the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony.

She praised the fact that they're still willing to perform in 2012 and suggested that Little Mix could be playing music in years to come too. Edwards said:

"They were our idols when we were younger. We had their posters in our rooms. When we looked at different girl groups for inspiration, most of what we took was from the Spice Girls. It's brilliant that they reformed for the ceremony. I want us to still do this in our seventies with our Zimmers."

Edwards meanwhile also revealed what she has been buying with her money since winning the X Factor, adding:

"I bought my mum a car and my brother a laptop. If it's for someone else then I don't care how much I'm spending. But if it's for myself, I feel guilty. I've bought myself a laptop and that's about it. One day I'd like to buy a proper old VW Camper van or an old Mini. That's all I want."
