Little Mix star Jesy Nelson is looking hotter than ever. So hot that even her own bandmates are envious of her womanly curves,

“We all tell Jesy how much we want her curves,” Jade Thirlwall told heat exclusively when we bumped into her at the launch party for Rihanna’s River Island clothing collection.

“We all feel like little girls and she’s got this great body that everybody wants. She’s really toned, [her body’s] amazing,” she added.

When Jesy first found fame on The X Factor she was targeted by Internet trolls about her weight, and when we spokes to her during a night out last month she still seemed unhappy with her figure,

“I wish I didn’t have this body! I guess it’s all the dancing [that’s helped me tone up]. I’ve still got my boobs and my bum.”

Famous names from 1980s and contemporary chart-toppers will be sharing the spotlight at Tring’s first ever live pop concert this summer.

Headlining the music festival will be X-Factor starlets Little Mix, who became a household name when they won the 2011 series of the TV talent competition.

Chilfest, which will be held in Pendley Meadow on July 5 and 6, is the brainchild of Steve Butcher, managing director of Pitstone-based company Universal Event Production.

The event promises to be a family-orientated weekend with something for everyone, offering contemporary pop on the Friday followed by 80s nostalgia on the Saturday.

Adult tickets are currently priced at an ‘earlybird rate’ of £26.50 for each night, with children’s tickets priced at £15 each. A family ticket, for two adults and two children, costs £76, but ticket prices will rise after April 9. They can be purchased from Iain Rennie shops in Tring and Berkhamsted, as well as the Chilfest website, www.chilfest.co.uk.

Barely a year after forming as a four-piece vocal group on the U.K. version of “The X Factor,” the members of Little Mix were already inspiring fan madness when they touched down in Australia for their inaugural visit last October. After being mobbed at Sydney Airport by screaming fans, the quartet regrouped in a tour bus and received an unsanitary expression of affection outside of it.

“Someone licked a window,” recalls the group’s Jesy Nelson. The group proceeded to laugh it off as the tour bus sped away. “It’s a compliment though!”

Little Mix, the U.K. girl group comprised of 21-year-old Nelson, 19-year-old Perrie Edwards, 21-year-old Leigh-Anne Pinnock and 20-year-old Jade Thirlwall, is getting used to the pandemonium, after becoming the first group contestant to ever win the U.K. “X Factor” in December 2011. Nelson also says that she’s seen lots of fans with tattoos of lyrics from “Wings,” Little Mix’s boisterous single that hit No. 1 in the U.K. and Ireland late last year.

“Wings,” which encourages individuality learned from maternal advice in a way that’s reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” is creeping onto U.S. radio, and the song has sold 29,000 downloads since being digitally released in the States on Feb. 5, according to Nielsen SoundScan. And the members of Little Mix are cautiously confident that success across the pond is in the offing.

“It’s not daunting. It’s exciting,” says Pinnock of a potential U.S. takeover. “It’s always been our dream from the start — we always said we wanted to be international, so we’re just going to work our bones off and hopefully it works out for us.”

Being Honest Is In Their “DNA”
“When a girl first gets with a boy, that kind of romance makes you feel really giddy and happy. That’s what “DNA” is about…Everything on the album is about our own experiences. We perform better when the lyrics mean something to us when we sing them.” — Perrie Edwards

Leigh-Anne’s Secret To Feeling Fearless
“I used to be the shyest little thing ever. The thing that brought out my confidence is being in this group with these girls.. Being around them has brought out the best in me. [If you struggle with feeling confident], my tip is to surround yourself with positive people and good friends.”

Leigh-Anne’s Style Inspiration: Will Smith In The ’90s
“I describe my style as urban and street. I’m really influenced by the ’80s and ’90s, like The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. I wear lots of color. I also love Timberlands. Timberlands are my favorite think in the world.”

Jesy On Little Mix’s Dating Standards
“We all have boyfriends…We’re not about letting boys take advantage of girls. We wear the trousers in our relationships. None of us have ever done anything crazy for a boy.”

Jesy’s Tip For Feeling Amazing Every Single Day
“If you want to wear something, all that matters is that you love it, not what other people think. Learn to love yourself!”

Perrie On Dating One Direction’s Zayn Malik
“[To survive long distance} we talk to each other every day either on the phone or on Skype. I think keeping each other updated on what’s going on and having something to talk about is the main key. I always save my funny stories to tell him!”
“When it comes to dates, I just like going to the cinema or having a night in. I can’t stand fancy restaurant meals because I just get embarrassed because I’ll get food all over myself. Things like bowling, shopping, or going to the park are less awkward.”

Seventeen spent an amazing two days in Little Mix’s hometown of London! As they prep for their American invasion, the girls spilled about bonding, beauty, and more!

They Always Put Each Other Before Guys
“Sisters before misters is a good rule. You never, ever dis one of us for a boy!” –Jade

Perrie Dyes Her Own Hair
“I’ve always been the blond one, so I wanted to change my hair a bit. I dye it myself and mix the dye with a bit of conditioner so that it doesn’t go on patchy or stain anything. I put it all over my head and wrap it in elastic.” —Perrie

Leigh-Anne Had A Secret Fear
“A week before the X-Factor audition, I was thinking, ‘What if I don’t get along with the girls?’ I just wasn’t sure about it at all. But after being with them, they’re just incredible. I absolutely love them to bits. There’s no diva in the group, and I mean that. We’re all really relaxed and we just work.” —Leigh-Anne

Perrie Is Crazy About Lipstick
“I can’t live without lipstick. I used to like red, but that got too boring, so then I decided I liked purple, like a dark purple. Now I just like a brown, nude lip!” —Perrie

The Band Bonded At Perrie’s House
“We were like new kids at first, we didn’t know each other. It wasn’t until we went to my house that we just clicked. It was instant. We went shopping, and we stayed up every night watching movies, eating food, rehearsing, singing. It was like being at camp with your best friends. We had such a laugh.” —Perrie

Jade Has A Bow Obsession
“I always have bows in my hair, that’s my little thing. The thing about bows is that they can be quite boyish, like a bow tie. A typical outfit for me is baggy jeans and a little crop top, and a big bow!” —Jade

The Whole Band Hates Heels!
“I’ve never in my life worn heels! When we do things like premieres, they tell me, ‘You can’t wear sneakers—you’ve got to wear heels.’ But we can’t dance in heels. I don’t know how Beyonce does it. I would literally break my neck if I performed in heels! It’s really important to feel comfortable so we perform at our best, so it’s flats all the way!” —Jesy

Leigh-Anne Swears By Lip Balm
“Always take lip balm! When we get nervous, especially when we perform, we get dry lips.” —Leigh-Anne

As for “Change Your Life,” it has racked up 4.5 million views since its Jan. 31 release, and has led to a 48% increase in weekly views to the group’s VEVO channel, which saw over 5 million views during the charting week ending Feb. 10. A total of 91,000 individuals talking about the girl group on Facebook led to the addition of 28,000 new fans on the platform (a 10% increase over the previous week) and 69,000 new Twitter followers.

Little Mix‘s high amount of online engagement has been driven by their Mixers Magnets social campaign, where Little Mix fans around the world are competing for a chance to win a Little Mix event in their country by pinning where they live to a map on the group’s official website. Little Mix is now encouraging entrants from the top countries to compete in a series of challenges that will determine which country gets a visit from the group.

Those Little Mix girls are about to spread their Wings and fly all the way to America after wowing US label bosses at their gig at London’s Hammersmith Apollo this week.

American bigwigs from Sony and Universal were so impressed with the foursome’s new wave of girl power I’m told a deal could soon be on the table.

My source said: “Labels from the US and Japan flew over to watch Little Mix.

They were really impressed with the girls, who they see as a new-age Spice Girls crossed with One Direction.

“The girls will be flying to LA after the tour.”
