Who are PRETTYMUCH, then?

Guys, girls and gender neutrals; allow us to introduce you to the hottest new boyband on the planet. They're called PRETTYMUCH, they're Simon Cowell's brainchild and they're gonna be performing on The X Factor final this weekend.

Now obviously, ever since One Direction announced that fateful hiatus back in 2015, we've had a hairspray-and-testosterone-shaped hole in our hearts; leaving PRETTYMUCH to slide straight in there alongside fellow newbies CNCO (those lads off of the latest Little Mix single) and K-pop group BTS.

So let's find out some more about LA-based Brandon Arreaga, Edwin Honoret, Zion Kuwonu, Nick Mara and Austin Porter ahead of their big UK telly talent show debut.

The boys

The PRETTYMUCH lads were all persuing solo projects until Simon Cowell spotted their talents, chucked 'em into a group and signed them to Syco Music in 2016. The rest, as One Direction once said, is a whole lotta history.Want to stalk PRETTYMUCH on their socials? Go follow @prettymuch on Instagram, mate.
