They divided viewers with their raunchy return to The X Factor on Sunday night thanks to their provocative stage costumes.

But Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock was obviously unfazed by the backlash about her look on social media as she continued to dare to bare on Monday.

Heading to a meet and greet with fans in London, the stunning singer turned heads by going braless in a skimpy khaki vest.

Nipping out: Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock was obviously unfazed by the backlash about the band's X Factor outfits on social media as she continued to dare to bare on Monday

She added matching skirt which added a demure edge to the racy ensemble as she was joined by equally daringly dressed bandmates.

She seemed in good spirits after the live results show performance, which saw the group perform their new track, Shout Out To My Ex - during which they were blasted by viewers for 'dressing like strippers'.

It wasn't just their outfits under fire, but also their new track, which fans claimed sounded remarkably similar to GRL's 2013 single Ugly Heart.

Twitter was awash with comments about both the band's song and outfits, with one shocked fan tweeting: 'Yep Little Mix might as well be strippers. Gosh #XFactor'. Whilst another added: 'I love little mix but what they're wearing ain't appropriate for a family show.'

Hot new track: She seemed in good spirits after the live results show performance, which saw the group perform their new track, Shout Out To My Ex

Little Minxes: Jesy Nelson and Perrie Edwards also didn't shy away from their favoured looks - donning thigh-high boots and skimpy ensembles for the promo day

Set love match: Jade Thirlwell went for a more demure look, mixing a tennis skirt with a green ribbed sweater and a bomber jacket

Another user quipped: 'Was Little Mix running late, because they seem to have come out wearing just their underwear? It's not a case of less is more! #XFactor.'

But not everyone was up in arms, as one fan pointed out: 'Imagine being offended by what a band wears when they perform "dressed like strippers" B***H WHO GIVES A F**K LET THEM LIVE.'

Other Twitter users were more concerned with the song itself, with several fans commenting it sounded similar to a hit by American girlband, GRL.

Too much? The girls were slammed on Twitter for 'dressing like strippers' as they rocked PVC boots and tiny outfits on Sunday night

Feeling perky: Flaunting her enviably peachy posterior, Jesy donned a racy latex bodysuit with fishnet tights that also showed off her shapely pins

One fan posted:'this little mix cover of Ugly Heart is great,' while another added: 'Little Mix's new single "Shout Out to My Ex" sounds identical to G.R.L.'s "Ugly Heart". I smell a lawsuit.'

A few hours later and GRL seemed to catch onto the Twitter comments as a tweet from their official account read: '#ShoutOutToUglyHeart'. The message quickly gained nearly 2,000 likes while the hashtag was used by fans.

GRl released Ugly Heart in 2013 with the tune reaching number two in the US charts and 11 in the UK.

The song also became a chart hit a year later after band member Simone Battle was tragically found dead in her Hollywood home.

Shocked: Little Mix came under fire for their racy ensembles by startled fans

'Inappropriate': One fan suggested the ensembles were too racy for their audience

Forgotten something? Another user quipped the group hadn't finished getting ready

'Let them live': Not everyone was up in arms, as one fan pointed out it was their choice

Keeping it simple: 'The online backlash came after former Spice Girl, Mel C urged Little Mix to tone down their racy image and revert to their 'less provocative' image

Outrage: Fans suggested Little Mix's hit was so similar to GRL that it could spark a legal battle

Amused: One fan joked Little Mix were singing a cover version of the track

Support: One GRL fan didn't want Little Mix's new song to do well

Dig? GRL seemed to catch onto the Twitter comments as a tweet from their official account read: '#ShoutOutToUglyHeart' a play on Little Mix's Shout Out To My Ex

Sound familiar? GRl (L-R) Lauren Bennett, Natasha Slayton, Emmalyn Estrada and Paula van Oppen released Ugly Heart in 2013 with the tune reaching number 11 in the UK charts

The online backlash came just days after former Spice Girl, Mel C, urged Little Mix to tone down their racy image.

She told the Sunday People: '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".

'All young women want to look sexy and hot so I understand it's hard. But I think it's such a shame. We live in a narcissistic age – it's 100 per cent worse than when I was in the Spice Girls. It was a more innocent time.'

Moving on: Jesy didn't seem bothered by any criticism Little Mix have received recently as she teetered out of the X Factor studios in a pair of chunky knee high boots

Sitting pretty: Jesy seemed happy and confident as she displayed her gorgeous figure

But Jesy didn't seem fazed by any of the criticism as she stepped out after the show.

Flaunting her enviably peachy posterior, the Black Magic hitmaker donned a racy latex bodysuit with fishnet tights that also showed off her shapely pins.

Adding some height to her petite frame, the songstress donned a pair of chunky knee high boots as she teetered out of the building, whilst she wore her chestnut coloured locks loose and tousled.

Jesy was no doubt pleased with her group's energetic performance of Shout Out To My Ex, which is rumoured to bewithering critique of Perrie Edward's former fiancé, Zayn Malik.

Taking to the stage in a sexy high-cut pink leotard, the 23-year-old singer put on a show-stealing performance as the band belted out their new hit.

The band's latest single, which is said to have been inspired by the girls' previous relationships, saw the four-piece storm through a sassy and racy, high-tempo set.

Opening the performance in a pointed way, Perrie sang: 'This is a Shout Out To My Ex, heard he in love with some other chick, Yeah yeah that hurt me I'll admit.

'Forget that boy I'm over it, I hope she's gettin' better sex, Hope she ain't fakin' it like I did, babe.'

Perrie striked back: on Sunday evening's version of the X Factor, Perrie Edwards ensured that she had the last laugh when she performed alongside her Little Mix bandmates

Swaggering through the studio in a triumphant return to the show which launched them, Perrie, Jesy, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock ensured they put on an memorable performance.

Sashaying past cars and onto the stage, the girl group took on the semblance of a sassy girl gang.

Launching into a high-tempo routine, the quartet commanded the attention of the studio.

Showing off their lithe and gym-honed figures, the four singers were an eye-catching sight, however, it was Perrie who stole the show.

Slipping into a high-cut pink leotard, the Northern beauty flashed a tantalizing amount of skin whilst also flaunting her figure.

Teaming the one-piece with a leather waspie belt and a pair of thigh-high boots, Perrie cut an arresting figure.

She donned a lightweight coat over the top of her outfit, wearing it shrugged down around her arms, before finishing her look off with a leather collar.

Following an energetic routine, the song ended with Perrie sounding off the last few lines as her three friends crowded around her, lending her their support.

Shout Out To My Ex, which comes from the group's new album, Therapeutic, contains a number of lines which are believed to be a direct swipe at Zayn.

The sassy live performance is the first time the girls have performed the song live and to an audience.

According to The Sun, the blonde beauty, 23, is heard singing a host of harsh lyrics in the new track, entitled Shout Out To My Ex - perhaps hinting at her former fiancé and their poor sex life.

Speaking to her fans: The performance sent Little Mix's fans wild, with many declaring Perrie the ultimate winner of her break-up with Zayn
