But when HuffPost UK caught up with the girl group the morning after their elimination for our ‘Shout Out From The X’ interview series, they were as far removed from that as possible, smiling and cracking jokes with one another as we quizzed them about all things ‘X Factor’.
During the course of our chat, which you can watch in the video above, Four Of Diamonds told us all about their potential ‘Lady Marmalade’ reboot with Honey G, bringing Cheryl Fernandez-Versini back to the show and quite literally being kept up until 5AM by fellow contestant (and 5 After Midnight singer) Jordan Lee.

Worst 'X Factor' Band Names
Addictiv Ladies (Series 2)(01 of10)

Despite her inability to spell the word 'Addictiv', Fleur East of Addictiv Ladies later returned to 'The X Factor' nine years later as a solo artist. So, yes, that's why she looks so familiar... (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
4Tune (Series 3)(02 of10)

Do you get it? Because there are four of them. And they sing tunes. Brilliant. (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
4Sure (Series 4)(03 of10)

We're guessing a similar thought process went into naming 4Sure to naming 4Tune... (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
Little Mix (Series 8)(04 of10)

A name derived from the fact that Tulisa used to refer to them as her "little muffins".To us, they'll always just be Rhytmix. Still, the name has hardly held them back so far, has it? (credit:Rex/Ken McKay/Talkback Thames)
Stereo Kicks (Series 11)(05 of10)

This is what happened when you draw two unrelated 'youth-based' terms out of a hat and name your band whatever comes out. Stereo Kicks could just as easily have been called 'Selfie Twerk' or 'Hollyoaks Software Update'. (credit:Thames TV/Syco/Corbis)
Girlband (Series 5)(06 of10)

We wonder how long this imaginative name took to think of. (credit:Rex/Ken McKay/Talkback Thames)
2 To Go (Series 1)(07 of10)

Probably best to not make the name of your group sound like you're ordering at a drive thru, yeah..? (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
JLS (Series 5)(08 of10)
Open Image Modal
Not the worst name in the world, until you realise it stands for 'Jack The Lad Swagger'. Good grief. (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
Belle Amie (Series 7)(09 of10)

A nice enough band name, it's just unfortunate that it's also the name of an Eastern European gay adult film company, isn't it? (credit:Rex/Ken McKay/Talkback Thames)
Overload Generation (Series 11)(10 of10)

Well, at least it's a name they weren't stuck with for long, eh..? (credit:Thames TV/Syco/Corbis)
