Little Mix talk about one of their favourite Little Mix: The Search auditions

Opening up about his five minutes of fame on the show, he said: “I have done Coronation Street and I have done Hollyoaks.

"In Coronation Street, I got a lot of air time.”

Elliott made it past the first stage of the auditions, however he failed to make the final boyband line-up.

The first episode went down extremely well with fans who took to Twitter to praise the girls for being ‘amazing’.
