2012: Formation
Casting calls for the "next big dance act" went out in January 2012, with auditions being held in Cardiff, Essex and Liverpool. The group was originally planned to be a four-piece consisting of four boys and four girls, however the group's management felt that a large amount of members might help the band stand out against other groups in the current industry, with no bands currently having more than five members. Eventually, the group's eight members were found. An initial twelve members were originally chosen in April, however within the same month four members had been removed and the group remained an eight-piece.
