LOOSE Women panellist Coleen Nolan has comes to the defence of Little Mix after the girlband were compared to strippers following their X Factor performance on Sunday.

The opinionated presenter, who is also Jesy Nelson's future mother-in-law, admitted she did not see why the group were coming under fire for their outfits.

Coleen said: "They had swimsuits on, that was it. They didn’t have anything out, they weren’t showing anything.

"The thing with Little Mix is they were so little and innocent when they started out, but you grow up and develop as a woman and that's what has happened with them.

"What I love is that they are all different shapes and sizes and they are all confident and come out on stage with that.

She then said to her fellow Loose Women: "I’ve seen a lot worse. No one does this when Beyonce comes out half-naked."

Coleen, who is the mother of Jesy's fiance Jake Roche, concluded: "I am biased because it is my future daughter-in-law and I just won’t have it."

The band's new raunchy look has also provoked a reaction from fellow pop stars, with former Spice Girl Mel C recently revealing their image was "too provocative" for her seven-year-old daughter Scarlett.

She explained to : “I love Little Mix. I loved them from The X Factor. I just thought they were so different.

“But they are getting more provocative. To me, they were kind of the closest thing to the Spice Girls we’ve seen.

“They are all gorgeous and great singers. But they weren’t sexy and it’s got more and more that way. I love them – but I just say, ‘Stay you’.”

The girl group – who were put together on X Factor in 2011 – were compared to prostitutes and strippers by trolls after performing their new single in skimpy outfits and thigh-length PVC boots.

One viewer tweeted: “What’s up with little mix dressing like prostitutes on X factor tonight then?”

One mum wrote: “Watching X Factor with Ewan and Little Mix come out dressed like an Ann Summers window display. Really.”

Another wrote: “I love Little Mix but what they’re wearing ain’t appropriate for a family show.”
