JLS "We're Glad We Didn't Win X Factor"

JLS may have come runner-up in last year's X Factor to Alexandra Burke, but the boyband have confessed they are now glad they didn't win the contest.

Since their time on the ITV1 show, they've enjoyed a number one single with 'Beat Again' and also picked-up a couple of awards.

"With hindsight now, we're glad we didn't win The X Factor because we wouldn't be in this position." Marvin Hume explains. "We've had an amazing start, Alex is a deserved winner, she's a fantastic artist and we've now won two MOBOs."

"It's not always about winning, it's not always about beating someone, it's about us establishing ourselves in the market place and having a career in music."

This week it was announced JLS will return to X Factor on Sunday 9th November, to perform next single 'Everybody In Love'. Bon Jovi will also be performing on the same night.
