X FACTOR winners Little Mix have thanked fans who queued to meet them at Bluewater this morning (August 30).
Some dedicated fans – or Mixers as they call themselves – queued at the shopping centre overnight to meet their idols.
Thousands showed up to meet the girls from 11am, sporting banners and home-made presents for Perrie, Jesy, Jade and Leigh-Anne.
Fans on Twitter wrote how they broke down in tears when they reached the front of the queue and met the stars.
Others took to the social networking site to describe the queues as ‘insane.’ It is not yet known whether the band broke the Guinness World Record for the largest book signing.
The band’s new single Wings looks set to break into the top three of the charts at the weekend.
