Little Mix star admits to online ‘battle’ in teaser for BBC girlbands documentary

Perrie Edwards is set to open up about what it's really like to be in a girl band. Following the popularity of last year's Boybands Forever , BBC Two is releasing its female counterpart, Girlbands Forever. The three-part documentary will focus on 'girl band fever throughout the 90s and beyond,' with personal input from the Little Mix star , alongside singers from Atomic Kitten, Sugababes and All Saints. A trailer for the new doc offers a glimpse into what viewers can expect, with interview snippets of some of the famous faces set to feature. It dives into the nostalgic 90s and noughties era where 'girl band fever' was overflowing. Broadcaster Sara Cox describes the time as an "era of young women suddenly having a voice," before adding: "But it was a small window". The short 25-second teaser also sees Perrie opening up about the behind the scenes struggles of Little Mix, who shot to fame after winning The X Factor. She revealed: "We battled the social media trolls together." The girl group stepped into the spotlight during the early 2010s, so their experience offers a fresh perspective on the struggles female groups faced in the social media age. According to the BBC, viewers can expect to hear from Heidi Range (Sugababes), Kelle Bryan (Eternal), Kerry Katona (Atomic Kitten), Melanie Blatt (All Saints), Perrie and Su-Elise Nash (Mis-Teeq). The show will also include interviews with industry names including Andy McCluskey, Clara Amfo, Darcus Beese OBE, Lucie Cave, MNEK, Nicki Chapman, Pete Tong, Pete Waterman, Scott Mills and Tulisa. Girlbands Forever comes from Louis Theroux's production company, Mindhouse. Ahead of the premiere, Louis said: "I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of making this wonderful series. "I well remember when the Spice Girls, Eternal and All Saints burst on the scene in the 90s. It was a special time in pop music and British culture generally." He continued: "Then in their wake came a parade of girl bands, made up of girls who were all in different ways beautiful, talented and often very funny. "Going back and rediscovering all that music and those videos and the interviews they did has been an absolute pleasure." Girlbands Forever debuts on BBC Two and iPlayer on November 1.
