Little Mix last night made X Factor history as they became the first group ever to win the ITV talent show.
Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall beat fellow finalist Marcus Collins at the final hurdle to take home the crown after a series of stunning performances on the final show.
Screaming with delight as they were told they had won the show, the girls burst into tears before speaking to host Dermot O'Leary.
The quartet struggled to control their emotions as they were crowned the winners, with Leigh-Anne telling Dermot: 'Oh my gosh, wow!'
Jesy added: 'This is never going to sink in. We can never thank the public enough for voting for us.'
Tulisa, who burst into tears when the news was announced, added later: 'I think I wanted them to win more than they did.'
Simon Cowell, who has been absent from this year's panel, was also quick to congratulate the girls, writing on his Twitter page: 'Congratulations to @LIttleMixOffic . And Paula as you can see, groups can win this show! I was really hoping a group would win this year. @OfficialTulisa has done a great job. These girls could be stars.'
Little Mix have now released their cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball as their winner's single, and are hoping to clinch the coveted Christmas number one spot with the track.
