They're known for their colourful wardrobe and upbeat, bubbly personalities.

But in their new video DNA, Little Mix take a trip to the dark side with Gothic make-up, leather and chains.

The four-piece wear lashings of eyeliner, purple lipstick with ammunition belts as their 'jewellery' as they transform into a scary group of characters.

Going to the dark side: Little Mix (L-R) Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock in their new video DNA

The group's blonde bombshell Perrie wears a PVC catsuit, while Leigh-Anne showed off her flat stomach in a black bra and PVC shorts.

Essex girl Jesy shows off her curves in a black mini-dress, while Geordie Jade is wearing her signature over-the-knee socks.

DNA is Little Mix's third single - but their second original, from their upcoming debut album, also called DNA.

Careful you don't run someone over! Jesy looks like a dangerous person to have behind the wheel

Speaking about the video earlier this week, Jesy told London radio station Capital FM: 'Making the video for DNA was so much fun, it was really exciting.

'We were just so excited as well because it's completely different to Wings.

'Like Wings was fun and colourful and this is so dark and it's just another side of Little Mix that people haven't seen yet and we're so excited for everyone to see it.'

Sexy: The video is a lot sexier than the group's previous effort Wings, which was a lot more carefree

Stalker: It looks like Jade is taking drastic measures over her love for one man...

While Wings was more carefree, this darker video allowed the women to try out their acting skills.

Leigh-Anne explained: 'I loved being able to play a character. To play this obsessed, weird person that's just crazy over this guy.'

Jade added: 'Well basically we took the theme of the song, the whole love and obsession thing, and just took it to an extreme. But that's all we're saying.'

The full video will premiere on Friday, with the song available to download from November 12.
