"We do think there is a gap in the market for three girls like us. What Simon sees...

Miss Dynamix have vowed to come out fighting after losing the flash vote this week.
The girl group - who got a bye last week after SeSe Foster fell ill - failed to impress viewers with their performance of 'Dreams' during tonight's 'Movie Week' show.
However, the band vowed on The Xtra Factor that they will work hard to stay in the competition.
"We feel determined more than ever," Jeanette Akua said. "The first reaction was a bit of disappointment, but we have no choice but to fight together."
As Foster joked that the group would have a "bubble bath" to improve their chemistry, Akua agreed that their bye could have worked against them.
"People were already upset that we got a bye, and obviously the expectation is much higher," she said. "We let the pressure of that get to us and probably it didn't come across on screen well.

X Factor singer Jeanette Akua has spoken about being kidnapped at gunpoint in South Africa.
The 21-year-old, who is being mentored by Gary Barlow as part of Miss Dynamix, told The Mirror about her ordeal while working in the country when she was 18.
Akua revealed she was taken by a gang as she handed out flyers in a Johannesburg suburb. The beauty consultant, who is originally from the city but now lives in London, hadn't told her parents about the part-time agency job.
She said she was targeted by an armed gang as she worked with other girls at a taxi rank.
Akua explained: "Taxi ranks are a bad place to be, a lot of crime happens and I hadn't told my parents I had got the job.
"This man came over, grabbed my hand and yanked my hair. He was shouting but I didn't understand the language he was speaking.

The X Factor group Miss Dynamix have admitted that they are feeling the pressure surrounding their return this weekend.
The trio were forced to pull out of their performance last Saturday after pregnant SeSe Foster was taken to hospital. Producers gave them a free pass to this week's show.
Jeanette Akua told Entertainmentwise: "We feel privileged but we feel a lot of pressure because we know with the history of The X Factor, everyone who's given a lifeline usually leaves the next week.
"We want to break that curse and we want to prove to people that we can actually do it."
SeSe added: "You have not seen what we can do. We're just trying to show everyone. We're told not to give everything away too quickly, but we've got too much to prove."
She recently insisted that her collapse was due to anxiety and not related to her pregnancy.
