Newly reformed girl group Atomic Kitten have likened the Little Mix ladies to themselves as they are "young, raw and feisty."

Singer Natasha Hamilton told MTV News that she loves the 'DNA' singer and can see herself in them as Atomic Kitten experienced many of the same things in the early stages of their collective career:

"I love Little Mix! They probably don't know Atomic Kitten, but when I saw them in the early stages [of The X Factor] they really did remind me of Atomic Kitten. They were young, raw and feisty."

Member Kerry Katona spoke about the group's reunion and added that it's great to be back together finally: "I was really nervous about meeting up with the girls and being a part of Atomic Kitten again."

"But hand on heart, I feel like it has all just happened so naturally. It just clicked straight away and I know the three of us are older, wiser and so much more mature. The good thing with us is we never ended on bad terms. It's been good fun, I feel like I'm 19 again."

Atomic Kitten, B*Witched, Liberty X, 5ive, 911 and Honeyz will make their comebacks for 'The Big Reunion', which begins on ITV2 on January 31.
