Don't mess with the Mixers...
The nominees for the 2018 BRIT Awards were revealed over the weekend, and Little Mix fans are less than pleased.
Despite the fact the girls are nominated for Best Video and Best Single for 'Touch', they failed to secure a nod for Best British Group.
Nominated in the category are Gorillaz, London Grammar, Royal Blood, Wolf Alice and The XX.
The nominees for #BRITs 2018 British Group are:

Fans can't understand why they didn't receive a nomination. After all, the girls managed to be the fourth-best selling artist in the UK and had the biggest-selling group album of the year.
A lot of fans took to Twitter to share their rage..
You mean to tell me Little Mix have the top highest grossing girl group tour of 2017 and biggest selling female/group album in the uk in 2017 and were still not nominated for best British group at the Brits? pic.twitter.com/xzQnB1oOjl

You’re out of your mind if you think there’s a group that had a better 2017 than Little Mix. It’s time that a girl-group won Best British Group and they’re the ones to do it. #BRITs

So not only did Little Mix not get nominated for Best British Group, but Best British Album of the Year left them out too? #BRITs pic.twitter.com/N2q4lBwCbF

No girl group has ever won British group and the brits didn't nominate little mix this year, let that sink in

Erm @LittleMix should have been up for best group?? #JustSaying #BRITs

there’s not ONE relevant group in the best british group category so why would you NOT put little mix up for that award, here’s me thinking that they’ll definitely win best group this year but once again the brits are acting up and being sexist
