After rising to fame from winning last year’s X Factor, Little Mix will be returning to the show tonight for a live performance of their new single ‘DNA.’

Jesy tweeted earlier today,

"Little Mix ‏@LittleMixOffic  Xfactor performance today woop woop the day has finally come so excited :D Jesy xxx"

Brit Award winner Ed Sheeran will also be joining Little Mix on X Factor, making an appearance on this evening's show.

However, Ed told a newspaper that The X factor is a route he would have never chosen,

"I think the people on the show do have to work hard but the strain that's put on the acts, and the way the media rip into them — I don't think I could take that."

Ed went on to say that he feels the singers on the show are under too much pressure, adding: "I prefer the route I took. I built up my confidence over the years rather than being shoved on stage in front of thousands of people straight away."
